Standing in the dunes of the Baltic coast, a group of near-naked performers studied the beauty of the movement coming from within themselves. They stepped inside the rubber-probe to test its materiality in relation to their own limited human strength, and experimented with the characters that it was possible to draw while they were inside. It was a collective gathering without a script, an abstract-sculptural gesture; an act of impetus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the relationships between language and body, body and space, subject and object have shifted. Now, the general imperative is not to take a position of isolation from the world, but to understand it from an engaged social position; the old idea of the artist&#8217;s individualistic creativity has become out-dated. Furthermore, there is heightened awareness that the creation of the new is becoming more difficult, since all possible encounters and clashes seem to have already taken place. Instead, an activity-based, networked mode of art-making has begun to prevail, where artists continuously weave endless speculative relations and variations that can only exist within a larger framework. Such vortex can generate an enormous amount of energy, but can have unpredictable results. Thus\u00a0<em>Vortex<\/em>\u00a0is an apt title for this exhibition, which aims to playfully reinvent a largely unknown historical art event.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Vortex<\/em>\u00a0is an exhibition-experiment where a group of up-and-coming Latvian artists invent loosely choreographed variations on the bodily acts of\u00a0<em>Probe<\/em>. Six distinct artistic voices present works using a full range of media, from a sculptural parody inspired by an anatomical cast (Evita Vasi\u013cjeva), to a self-censoring wooden framework (Kaspars Gro\u0161evs), a melody of drapes and painted fabric (Ieva Kraule) a yoga-mat facing meditative\u00a0<em>Google<\/em>\u00a0imagery of sunsets (Miks Mitr\u0113vics and Krist\u012bne Kursi\u0161a), an intimate gaze generated by the restaging of miscellaneous glossy stock photography (Krist\u012bne Kursi\u0161a) and chrome installations recalling a ruined city (Daria Melnikova).\u00a0<em>Vortex<\/em>\u00a0is thus an exhibition that makes the thinking of \u201cthen\u201d collide with the \u201cnow\u201d in a beautiful flow of ideas that are as poetic as they are socially relevant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the original performances made reference to the idea of the lonely mythological figure of the \u201ccreator,\u201d here the participants explore the role of the artist within the much more complicated set of relationships through which art develops today \u2013 spinning in the eye of the cultural-industrial vortex.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kim.lv\/uploads\/image\/Vortex_2012.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><em>Vortex<\/em>, 2012<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><i>Garage<\/i>\u00a0Museum of Contemporary Art\u00a0is an independent platform for new thinking.Through an extensive program of exhibitions, research, education, and publishing, Garage reflects on current\u00a0developments in Russian and international culture, creating opportunities for public dialogue and the production\u00a0of new work and ideas.
