„Re: visited”

March 14 – April 27, 2014

Riga Art Space

Solvita Krese, the event’s curator and director of the LCCA, has selected art works by various international artists recently represented at the most significant art biennials and shows abroad, such as Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, the Venice Biennial, the Documenta exhibition in Kassel, the Istanbul Biennial and others.

The curator explains the concept of the show: ‘Re: visited is not an attempt to create a puzzle or a mosaic, a kind of an anthology of biennials or an overview of the latest art events. The exhibition is a subjective view that tends to zoom in on otherness reflected in various forms of knowledge. Different experiences rooted in a multiplicity of cultures and social textures may create tension between affiliation and non-affiliation, between inclusion and exclusion or extrusion.’
