Kim<\/span>? Contemporary Art Center\u00a0in cooperation with Art Museum RIGA BOURSE presents the largest to date solo exhibition in Latvia of works by internationally acclaimed Latvian artist Daiga Granti\u0146a.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Specifically for this homecoming exhibition, Granti\u0146a has assembled elements of her sculptural vocabulary developed in her practice to present newly created and recreated works. Lauka telpa<\/em> focuses on the symbolic potential of Granti\u0146a\u2019s oeuvre \u2013 shifting from a process-based practice to one that is rooted in impressions of the mind which simply occur<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Within the space of the exhibition, these visions of the artist\u2019s imagination are arranged along a diagonal line, occupying the entire perimeter of the vast hall. A series of sculpture-typologies trace the diagonal, sparking rhythm and revealing patterns of gestures that gradually culminate in a sensation of space. A monumental, red tower piece, previously presented at the Latvian Pavilion of the 58 th Venice Biennale under the title Saules Suns<\/em>, integrates the center of the line in a motion expanding vertically. This linear arrangement of objects can be experienced as a spatial notation, a language formed through sculptural drawing: Lauka telpa<\/em> reads physical space as form free to be drawn into.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The drive for this exhibition stems from the encounter with form as something all encompassing: revealing the essence of matter in synthesis with our sensory experience \u2013our capacity to complete form and hence becoming part of it. Lauka telpa<\/em><\/strong> is a wickerwork of unfolding, cyclical movements that build an expanded surface of contact through<\/em> material, channelling the spirit of creation and the dynamics of experience. Grantina\u2019s sculptural scoring of the space gives points of access to the invisible: the realm of sensation, of intuition, of the subconscious.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Polish composer Raphael Rogi\u0144ski will provide a musical entry point to the visual experience by interpreting the sculptural notation in an improvised composition. Rogi\u0144ski will turn the sculptures into acoustic vibrations which trace Lauka telpa\u2019s<\/em> compositional line and the exhibition\u2019s detachment from the regimen of the visible sphere \u2013 to an opening up of a dimension of joint interplay. Rogi\u0144ski\u2019s score has its own format that exists independently: as a concert, a performance, and as a presentation for radio.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Artist bio<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Daiga Granti\u0146a<\/strong> was born in Saldus, Latvia, studied in Hamburg (DE) and Vienna (AT).
