 <\/p>\n

Curated by Kaspars Gro\u0161evs, Virginija Janu\u0161kevi\u010di\u016bt\u0117 and Siim Preiman, the project aims to bridge communities and provide an alternative platform for employing creatives at a time of isolation and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflecting the title, History of Joy, Part 4<\/i> examines alternate forms of exhibition-making, whilst simultaneously connecting the rich Baltic art scene. \u201cWhat started as a cautious intent to reflect the shift in artist relationships with the public over the last few decades, turned into a shifting sequence that proposed to open the space for the public beyond the concrete walls, stairways, and entrances,\u201d says curator Kaspars Gro\u0161evs. \u201cBy inviting through an open call a variety of cultural agents to share their creative manifestations and gestures, a kaleidoscopic reverie of concurrent streams of thought, expression, and comprehension were discovered. History of Joy, Part 4<\/i> presents itself as a virtual stage for the exchange of joyous acts of creativity that vary and morph in their movements, traces, undercurrents, and murmurs. Resonating with the fragmented history of ephemeral, oft-uncharted intimate acts of bringing joy to oneself and others, the project invites creatives to engage in distribution of personal discoveries and artistic explorations. In parallel, diagonal and circular spatial and temporal forms, the constellations of Baltic artists stretch beyond territories of land – virtual islands and (meta) physical cabins are connected in a network of inventive, glowing, curious voices that reverberate and diffuse not only by shared histories but something much greater – joy of an artistic act.\u201d<\/p>\n
