Curated by Zane Onckule, this exhibition expresses Kim? Contemporary <em>Art Centre\u2019s <\/em>continued partnership with <em>Art in General <\/em>that started, organizing Latvian pavilion for 55<sup>th<\/sup> International Art Exhibition in Venice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Jargot<\/em> is a new sculptural installation by Ola Vasiljeva that continues her investigation in the relationship between thought, language, and production of objects. Jargot operates as a metaphor for syntax, populated by reoccurring characters, which move seamlessly between sculpture, prop, and performance. It builds a coded dialogue, full of half-conscious speech mistakes, incomplete phrases, cartoons, and hints. It is not about objects or subjects; it rather finds itself in-between them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Jargot<\/i> confuses boundaries of categorizations, creating a web of references, riddles, and inside jokes. Installation in <i>Art in General<\/i> is about to be populated by various personages, embodied in the forms of sculpture, interior objects, sound, video, and light, as well as modes and relations among them, oscillating between the physical and sometimes intangible, imagined.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Evoking the uncanny waking-reality of dreams, <i>Jargot<\/i> makes tangible isolated gestures and absurdities, which only occur in the sleeping mind. And even before everything has started, <i>Jargot<\/i> hastens to note about the laxity of interpretation and some ultimate meaning that is determinedly left open-ended.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ola Vasiljeva<\/span> (b. 1981) is a Latvian-born artist living and working in Amsterdam, Netherlands.\u00a0\u00a0 Recent solo exhibitions include <i>Prix de Rome<\/i>, <i>de Appel<\/i>, Amsterdam, Netherlands (2013); <i>Cinq \u00e0 sept<\/i>, Kim?
