Unlike other exhibitions, it is not a specific subject, the artists being chosen by the galleries or their badociations, the kaleidoscope of art of the museum of railway history Latvian is unpredictable every time.
The portrait of the basketball legend Kristaps Portiz, as well as the dancer Mihails Baryshnikovs – is one of the stands of the international art fair "Art Riga Fair", and its author is Dirks Denojels, a Belgian artist who is not a local artist.
Galina Maksimova, the organizer of the fair, explains that it has become a tradition: every time the guests create something special, linked to Latvia, to get closer to the public. A few years ago, the artist David Tatuna, for example, created a Latvian flag from optical lenses.
The international project, which began in 2014, when Riga is the throne of the European Capital of Culture, brings together artists from more than ten countries around the world. Artists are selected by the galleries or their representative badociations. As the exposure has no specific lead, the end result is always unpredictable.
"To a certain extent, of course, we control the content of the stands, but there is also the interesting fact that the performance of the exhibition is different." Well, it's an art kaleidoscope Maksimova explains, "What distinguishes our exhibition from others and could be of interest to visitors – this is a living movement. Can talk about galleries, art dealers, artists on every booth. "
About 140 artists have settled in the stands of the Latvian Railway History Museum. Two additions to the nominee of Alda Gobzma were also selected for the auction. And Latvia is also represented by Latvian clbadical art names – for example, Juris Dimiters, Jemm Skulme and Aigars Savkins, who works as a decorator at the Latvian National Theater.
"Each year, we are expanding geography, and we are pleased that this year we have discovered and participated in a major Japanese gallery -" Systema Gallery. "This year, the first year, we saw artists and a Canadian artistic project. representing Canadian and American artists, "said Maksimova.
After a two-month marathon show in Europe, Japanese artists already mentioned have introduced contemporary Japanese art to Riga.
Contemporary paintings, but made in traditional millennia in the ancient Japanese style, are painted on paper.
"I make paper myself, we also have a gallery in Kathmandu, Nepal, I have a house in the Himalayan mountains.Except facilities, electricity and candles, 'there makes paper because today all the paper contains a chemical additive, but I use a technology that was used a thousand years ago.This painting can survive for 2000 years,' says Katsu Izida , Japanese artist, for his work "Systema Gallery".
The door of the kaleidoscope of art will be open to the spectators of the Latvian Railway History Museum from here on Sunday 2 December. The auction of contemporary art will take place for the first time on the last day of the show.
