"To hide yourself. Is there any light left? Lemon yellow? Golden Ochre? Magenta? Where are you now?" 2021
Painting installation for the exhibition "SAVVALA / SAVAGE"
Savage is a processual event, open in the wild 37 hectare territory between Dūķi and Jaundrusti. The exhibition has been designed as an experience with no opening hours or attendants – you can immerse yourself for 15 minutes, or even stay for a week. The artists’ works are placed along three routes of varying complexity on which visitors can
experience the meeting of art and nature. Everyone can choose how to experience Savage – via a mowed, easy path, a longer meandering trail, or wander around with approximate directions and not always dry feet. Visitors determine the pace of the exhibition experience for themselves. You can swim in the pond and observe the natural horizon, crouch under the fountain, erect a tent and spend the night, settle under a canopy and create something of your own, or you can just stop by for a moment – nature and art will do everything for you on their own.
The launch of SAVAGE exhibition in 2020 included 12 new commissions and 5 adaptations of existing projects by Andris Eglītis, Austris Mailītis, Elza Sīle and Laimdota Malle, Iveta Pole and Katrīna Neiburga, Jānis Noviks, Kate Krolle and Reinis Bērziņš, as well as Liene Rumpe, Linda Vigdorčika, Raitis Hrolovičs, Kristīne Upīte, Teemu Korpela from Finland and Kaspars Podnieks.
