some general info from the call:

AVAMAA is a unique symposium for art and ideas hosted every summer by 
MoKS, an artist run organization and residency center in the rural 
village of Mooste Estonia. AVAMAA encourages creative interventions in 
the local context and the exchange of ideas through the platform of a 
living workshop. AVAMAA roughly translates as 'open land'. The central 
idea for AVAMAA 2012 is to create a temporary "village" or camp we call 
Moksville, out of affordable recyclable and locally sourced materials. 
Like every village or temporary community we need to prepare the site, 
develop a social atmosphere, range of activities that will give it life, 
and then build the structures that will give it a physical form. For 
this we are seeking Artists, Architects, Designers and Makers of all 
types to participate.

The temporary Moksville will be constructed by five separate teams whose 
projects are selected from an open submission call. Each team is 
responsible for the design and construction of their own structure as 
well as a defining a purpose for what their structure is used for. Each 
team gets a standard KIT of building materials and tools to construct 
their temporary structure. The final weekend of AVAMAA will be a full 
time exhibition of all the structures and their function. The aim is 
create the temporary village of Moksville out of unique architectural 
structures each with a special purpose developed by its creators. The 
submission deadline for project proposals is April 15th, 2012. 
Selections will be made by May 1st, 2012.

festivals, and events, and our artist residency series, past, present,

hope to see you in moksville!

patrick
