Urban installations are objects of art, architecture, landscape architecture or design temporarily set up in the city space which are, in conjunction with their surroundings, intended to offer a spatial experience or to comment on the urban environment in a critical or humorous manner.
These location-specific works to be created at various locations in Tallinn highlight sites and angles in contrast with the ‘postcard’ image of Tallinn, addressing local residents as well as visitors. On a wider scale, LIFT11 attempts to break down prejudice towards contemporary art in public space and draw attention to the ample array of opportunities for using city space.
