The program, presented by Riga Tecnoculture Research Unit (RTRU<\/a>),\u00a0explores animatic and performative apparatuses across Baltic countries by showcasing three distinct artistic practices united by their shared investigation of newly unleashed cultural and aesthetic currents in the Post-Soviet era. Over the course of several days, a systematic accrual of S\u012ble’s work (created in collaboration with numerous contributors) will result in a floor-based installation and catwalk, while Sosunova’s display will be activated by the artist zombie-lecturing on the links between authority, nostalgia, and magical thinking, and will be be concluded with Popolitova’s speculative 3D jewelry workshop presented by witch Seraphita. Taken together, (Fortune) Telling. (Zombie) Coding. (Gelatin) Catwalking<\/em> charts how the internal cultural politics of the Baltics\u2014and \u201cEastern Europe” more broadly\u2014has historically opted to differentiate itself from the global Western Other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Riga Technoculture Research Unit (RTRU) is a new platform curated by Elizaveta Shneyderman (New York) and Zane Onckule (Riga) under the commission of Kim? Contemporary Centre in Riga (www.kim.lv<\/a>). Part research journal, part art and writing publisher, part hub for developments in emerging media, RTRU brings an interdisciplinary and technicity-centered approach to the status quo of contemporary art programming.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Darja Popolitova<\/strong>\u202f (b. 1989 in Sillam\u00e4e, lives and works in Tallinn) is a contemporary (jewelry) artist with an interest in digital culture, pseudo-magic and various social phenomena. Popolitovas\u2019s process is driven by an ironical view on the present that further fuels her interest to blend contemporary jewelry, digital craft and video-performances with fiction. Recently, she has participated in exhibitions at the Museum Arnhem in Holland (2020), Art and Design Museum in New York (2019), the Kunstnerforbundet gallery in Oslo (2018). Darja Popolitova is represented by the following galleries: Marzee in Nijmegen, Beyond in Antwerp, and Door in Mariaheide. Her works are included in the collection of the Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design, Museum Arnhem, and private collections. The work of Darja Popolitova was awarded the Annual Awards of the Cultural Endowment of Estonia in 2020, scholarships of the Ministry of Culture and Adamson-Eric in 2018. She also received the scholarship of Young Jewelry in 2015. Currently she is doing a PhD at Estonian Academy of Arts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elza S\u012ble\u00a0<\/strong>\u202f(b. 1989\u202f in Riga, lives and works in Zurich) combines mental imagery with analytic divisions and builds up an interwoven vocabulary of psycho-spatial typologies in flux. In 2019, S\u012ble graduated from ZHdK Zurich. In September, S\u012ble is scheduled to have a residency at ISCP New York provided by Kim? Contemporary Art Centre. Recent solo exhibitions include: Kim? Contemporary Art Centre (2022), PHILIPPZOLLINGER (Zurich, 2021); unanimous consent (Zurich, 2020) and Kulturfolger Z\u00fcrich (2020). She has participated in numerous two-person and group shows, such as at Haus Konstruktiv (Zurich, 2022); Misako & Rosen (Tokyo, 2022); Kim? Contemporary Art Centre (Riga, 2020); Kunsthalle Zurich (2020); Hamlet (Zurich, 2020) and Galerie Kirchgasse (Steckborn, 2020). In 2020, Sile was a recipient of the Werkschau Prize Zurich and in 2021, of the art stipend City of Zurich.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anastasia Sosunova<\/strong>\u202f (b. 1993 in Ignalina, lives and works in Vilnius) is a visual artist whose interdisciplinary practice consists of video, installation, sculpture, graphic art and texts.

Sosunova has had a solo and two person shows at SixtyEight Art Institute, Copenhagen (2022), Britta Rettberg, Munich; Screens Series programme in New Museum, New York; Swallow, Vilnius (2021); Kogo, Tartu (2019) and Editorial, Vilnius (2018).
