Dream Team

From the first sketch all the way to opening night.

Technical production for contemporary art

We help artists and institutions realise complex artworks, exhibitions and installations.

A workshop in Tallinn and a team built for each project — scaling from a specialist core to large crews on site, for artists and institutions in Estonia and internationally.

Enter Woodland Spirits

A Tartu 2024 group exhibition that turned two historic buildings into a forest of technological folklore. Across darkened halls, Dream Team installed works by some twenty Nordic and Baltic artists — suspended screens for synced videos, complicated hangings, rigging and on-site assembly.

Finished installation with built staircase and wavy yellow handrail, Tartu Art Museum

The Secrets of the Leaning Building

An exhibition architecture built from the ground up at Tartu Art Museum. Based on a wonky paper maquette, Dream Team fabricated the whole structure — a detailed staircase and a wavy, hand-shaped yellow handrail — to the artists' design.

Urban Stocks. Spolia Returns

A spatial installation at the Estonian Museum of Architecture, built almost entirely from reused materials — and nominated for the 2023 Cultural Endowment Architecture Award. Dream Team raised its over 30 columns on site, mixing joinery, construction and prototyping alongside the curators.

Approach

How we work

The name is the method: for every project we put together a dream team — exactly the specialists the work needs, and no more. We are the people artists and curators call when a piece is harder to build than it is to imagine.

We translate an idea into materials, structures and methods that hold up — technically, on budget, and on time. We read drawings, solve the parts no one has solved yet, and stay on site until the work stands as it should. We work quietly, take responsibility for the whole, and treat every project as if our name is on it. Because it is.

What we bring
Small core
A tight specialist team — carpenters, fabricators, installers — who take responsibility for the whole.
Scaling up
If a project demands it, we bring in a larger crew of trusted partners to tackle projects of all sizes.
Room to be ambitious
The Dream Team name brings trust to the table, so artists take on more ambitious work. We carry the risk of a complex build, and help around it — covering every step of the process.
