BT13 \u2013 GIVE UP THE GHOST launches its third and final chapter at Kim? Contemporary Art Centre, Riga on Friday 21 September. Baltic Triennial 13 is the biggest contemporary art event taking place in Riga as a part of Latvia\u2019s Centennial and restored Lithuania\u2019s and Estonia\u2019s celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
BT13 in Riga centers on a major new commission by Ben Burgis and Ksenia Pedan: an immersive, psychologically off-kilter environment that engulfs the majority of Kim?. Equal parts installation and sculptural works, theirs is an uncanny narrative-driven world that unfolds sequentially across Kim?\u2019s galleries; vestiges of a play or film plot but whose characters have ambled out of frame. Simultaneously suggestive of a waiting room, airport lounge, shopping mall, museum, private collector\u2019s lair, storage space, and none of these at all, Burgis\u2019 and Pedan\u2019s microcosm bastardizes the accepted forms and functions of different spaces \u2013 whether domestic, public, corporate or personal \u2013 and the behaviors that they (sub)consciously engender. On the opening night of BT13 in Riga, Adam Christensen and Keira Fox will inhabit and respond to the space in a durational performance that will include live music and sound by Vindicatrix.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The exhibition in Riga also includes new commissions by <\/span>Egl\u0117 Budvytyt\u0117<\/span>, who will deliver <\/span>Incantantion Karaoke<\/span><\/i>, an awkward and fragile one-person karaoke channeling multiple non-human voices; Mare Tralla, whose performative video vignettes, not devoid of humour, see the artist grapple with their personal relationship to activism; and a public talk show-performance about breasts by Sandra <\/span>J\u00f5geva<\/span> and guests that \u00a0considers social norms and the notion of the (gendered) body as a symbolically-loaded private and public space. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Responding to the haunted scenario presented by Ben Burgis\u2019 and Ksenia Pedan\u2019s installation, and referring back to the title of BT13, Kim? will dedicate a space to be populated by ghosts and memories that make up the entirety of the Triennial. Over the course of the exhibition\u2019s eight weeks, this gallery will see a gradual and momentary (re)appearance of all the artists and poets that have appeared in BT13 since its beginning, each one offering an ephemeral gesture \u2013 be it a video, song, poem or text \u2013 in lieu of their physical presence. Its first indication will be the ritualistic burning of a set of large-scale wicker screens by Caroline Achaintre, which were first made for and presented as part of BT13\u2019s Vilnius chapter. The closing of the Triennial will also see off-site film screenings of Pierre Huyghe\u2019s huis clos <\/span>The Host and the Cloud <\/span><\/i>(2011) and Derek Jarman\u2019s <\/span>Blue <\/span><\/i>(1993), a swansong to mortality and physical being.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
As such, the Riga chapter turns into a natural coda for the Triennial, less a retrospective rather than a natural inclination to consider what is given up and what is left behind. A ghost of a ghost. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
For the first time since its foundation in 1979, Baltic Triennial 13 is being organised by and taking place in all three Baltic countries: Lithuania (May 11 \u2013 August 12), Estonia (June 29 \u2013 September 2) and Latvia (September 21 \u2013 November 18). The three distinct exhibitions act as different chapters to form the Triennial.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Baltic Triennial 13 and each of its chapters are informed by a shared concern: what does it mean to belong at a time of fractured identities? The fluctuating notion of belonging, which can be understood to exist within the conceptual and formal framework of a relationship, allows us to think beyond identity as something fixed, self-contained and essentialised. <\/span>The exhibition in Riga will centre on questions of social norms, relations and structures, while also considering the notion of ghosting and fading away in relation to the large-scale exhibition format itself. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
