As if the scene of some cosmological dawn, it opens itself up as a site and moment for the generation of possibilities. Our sense of these possibilities is strengthened by the multitude of potential paths and perspectives through the installation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She bends metal into spirals, casts light into shadow, fluffs cotton into fuchsia purple blossoms. However, the piece is not about the materials themselves, but with the help of these elements something is expressed. Through her own unique manner of expression, her language, the artist communicates and shapes the world offering alternatives to the current state of affairs.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This gains magnitude in an environment of heightened populism and fake news, when the verbal means of communication tend to fail.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It reminds of arts\u2019 fundamental characteristic \u2013 to search for an alternative language beyond words, stories and it is especially important in this moment and, of course, in the context of the Biennale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The curators of the Latvian Pavilion, Valentinas Klima\u0161auskas and Inga L\u0101ce, are excited to work with Daiga Grantina, an artist they admire for her ability to combine materials in unexpected ways. By bringing together the synthetic and the organic in arrangements reminiscent of life forms and molecular structures, she develops sculptural installations that read like three-dimensional scores for imagined vibrational patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project team is composed of commissioners Zane \u010culkst\u0113na and Solvita Krese, curators Inga L\u0101ce and Valentinas Klima\u0161auskas, architect Dagnija Smilga (\u0112TER), graphic designer Toan Vu-huu (Baldinger Vu-Huu Studio), deputy commissioner Alexey Koshkin and coordinator in Venice Alessandro Zorzetto.
