The LIFT11 urban installations festival, part of the Capital of Culture, will add character to the public space in Tallinn from 12 June to 22 October 2011.
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 ex-perience 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 will highlight sites and angles in contrast with the ‘postcard’ image of Tallinn, addressing local residents as well as visitors. On a wider scale, LIFT11 will attempt to break down prejudice towards contemporary art in public space and draw attention to the ample array of opportunities for using city space.
The festival is organised by the non-profit association MTÜ KAOS.

Therefore, abandoned or inaccessible places because of cultural, politic or natural issues could be functioned again and somehow bring positive value to community.
