The basis of this laconic and, at the same time, conceptually loaded short film, included in the presentation, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a recording of children&#8217;s faces during a chronologically short period of life, progressing through a partially intentional directed dramaturgy \u2013 \u201cinhalation, culmination and exhalation\u201d (Frank) and serving as a visualization of the ability to capture the moment, to sense, and to foresee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These aspects also represent essential associated qualities in the work of Kim?, which after 15 (formative) years, continues to be preoccupied with the context of making art, the conditions and methods of producing works, circumvention of the conventions of exhibition-making, the actualization of historical references and sources as well as interaction- and collaboration-based strategies directed towards mutually interested symbiosis between the institution, participants in its program and visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exhibition comprises an overview of recent works by participants in previous exhibitions at Kim?, which demonstrates the trajectory, established style, and subsequent development of their respective creative practices. The eclecticism of the presentation echoes the institution&#8217;s conscious artistic, discursive, and aesthetic heterogeneity and the principle \u201cI am different things in different contexts\u201d which makes it possible to conjure up a discursive field among such otherwise limiting labels as &#8220;conceptual&#8221;, &#8220;formal&#8221;, \u201cobject-orientated&#8221; and &#8220;politically tinged&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presented following the principle of the Salon, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formative Years <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">functions as a selective overview and a look back at the exhibition program of Kim?, at the same time celebrating the continuation of relationships both with the participants in this exhibition and with other artists, who, on this occasion remain &#8220;out of the frame&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We would like to express our gratitude to all the participants in the exhibition, the managers of the artists&#8217; studios, and the galleries Peres Projects, Herald St, Bortolami, Temnikova &amp; Kasela.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">* The word &#8220;padsmit&#8221; in the exhibition&#8217;s Latvian title refers to any number between 10 and 20<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Supported by:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ministry of Culture, State Culture Capital Foundation, Valmiermui\u017ea<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition part of the Kim? 15th Anniversary Programme &nbsp; Participants: \u0112riks Apa\u013cais, Ulla fon Brandenburg, Michael Dean, J\u0101nis Dzirnieks, Krista Dzudzilo, Andris Egl\u012btis, Ieva Epnere, Santa France, Edgars Gluhovs, Daiga Granti\u0146a, Margrieta Griesti\u0146a, Kaspars Gro\u0161evs, Annemarija Gulbe, Indri\u0137is \u0122elzis, Donna Huanca, Tobias Kaspar, Ieva Kraule-K\u016bna, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Sanya Kantarovsky, Agate Lielp\u0113tere, Paulis Liepa, MAREUNROL\u2019S, Darja [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kim-exhibitions","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u201cPadsmit min\u016btes\u201d (Formative Years) - Kim?
