Projects
  • METAMORPHOSES
    METAMORPHOSESin August 2015, i curated a fourth personal exhibition of Vika Anisko, named “METAMORPHOSES”, that took place in Riga, Latvia. "METAMORPHOSES" is an exhibition which blends together the beauty of nature, the importance of mythology and the force of melancholy. The exhibition offers spectator series of tender floral photographs, mixing elegance of decease and despair of decline.
  • JAMAIS VU
    JAMAIS VUin August 2014, i curated a third personal exhibition of Vika Anisko, “JAMAIS VU”, that took place in Riga, Latvia. during the exhibition, I was responsible for all curatorial and organisational decisions, such as writing a catalogue essay, all press materials, aiding artist in explaining and naming her works, as well as management of a space which was not initially meant for art exhibition uses.
  • TEN EASY PIECES
    TEN EASY PIECESin April 2014, I curated a second personal exhibition of a prominent Latvian photographer Vika Anisko, named “TEN EASY PIECES”, that took place in Riga, Latvia. a short while before i thought of commissioning these art works, I felt deeply attached to performance art pieces by Marina Abramović, and I was trying to find a way to make her work more static, to immobilise physical movements. this exhibition is by no means a re-performance – it is a contemplation and re-phrasing of Abramović's art works. acting as an exhibition curator, i found and organized the space for an exhibition, as well as commissioned the photographs; i was also responsible for all curatorial and design decisions that had to be made during the exhibition.
