Always the sun

Drawing inspiration from the iconic song by The Stranglers, Always the sun does not focus on the sun as motif, but approaches it as a medium of thought, perception, and lived experience. The exhibition aspires to bring together contemporary Greek artists whose practices have been shaped – consciously or otherwise – by the specific conditions of Southern […]

How are you today?

A multimedia research project dedicated to human emotions, where art serves as a subject revealing the spectrum of human experiences.

MEASURED PERSPECTIVES

Perspective is a long-standing topic of interest for Dutch visual artist Katja Mater and American photographer Erin O’Keefe. It functions both as a playing field for practical experimentation and as a tool to raise questions about the supposedly indexical status of the photographic image. Even more, perspective reveals itself to be a significantly malleable construct. […]

I BIT THE SKIN OF A GLASS LAGOON

The exhibition “I Bit the Skin of a Glass Lagoon” explores the fragile boundary between body and landscape, where the “glass lagoon” emerges as a metaphor for a world that is beautiful, delicate and intimate, while the “bite into its skin” signifies a bodily closeness to the environment – simultaniously sensual and violent.

STAGE WORKS

In the surroundings of Valmiera, on the stages of the cultural centres of small towns and villages, firewood is split, branches are chopped, hair is cut… In other words, something that does not usually happen on stage – completely mundane practical activities – household services that are often offered on bulletin boards or in the […]

VAMP(YRE) REALITY

“To experience Seers’ and Sargents’ work is to experience snapshots, rumours, doubtful information – fascinating fragments that refuse to add up to a neat, narratively satisfying whole. To experience one’s memory of their work is something else entirely. Recall a work on a Monday morning, and it’s a story of childhood and exile. Recall it […]

HUMAN COMPUTER

The exhibition Human Computer is devoted to the group of eternal existential questions whose answers have to be re-evaluated from time to time. At its centre is the naive question: “Who am I?”, followed by a flood of similar attempts at self-understanding: “Who are we? Where do we come from and where are we going? […]
