I BIT THE SKIN OF A GLASS LAGOON. Laimdota Malle, Anastasia Shneps-Shneppe, Rebecca Korn.

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.

Artists Laimdota Malle (LV), Anastasia Shneps-Shneppe (LV), and Rebecca Korn (UK) work across installation art and interdisciplinary research. Malle’s sculptural works traverse the porous line between inner and outer landscapes, balancing the organic and synthetic to reflect on posthuman ecologies. Shneppe and Korn's artistic practice examine the body as a vessel of generational memory, bringing together autoethnography, hydrofeminist theory, and material inquiry.

The exhibition is organized by the municipal institution Exhibition Hall “Riga Contemporary Art Space” and supported by the Riga City Municipality, University for the Creative Arts, NURME Brewery.
