\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From 30 April 2026 to 7 June I will mostly be found at Kim? Contemporary Art Centre in Riga \u2013 for a while I will be \u201cliving and working\u201d here.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is not an exhibition, performance or action; it is a small sketch of life:<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

for a while my apartment is available for short-term rent<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while I sleep and walk here, sit on the internet and paint<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while I listen to music and play music<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while I think about art and create art<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while I exhibit artworks<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while I sell art and exchange art<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while my living and working space is open to the public<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while I make mistakes<\/span><\/i>
\nfor a while I \u201clive and work\u201d here<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Live With\/Think About <\/span><\/i>functions simultaneously as proposition and condition: a way of remaining within perception while also examining how it is produced and sustained. In Kaspars Gro\u0161evs\u2019 exhibition at Kim?, marking the artist\u2019s return thirteen years after his last solo presentation here, sound, image, display, and social infrastructure merge into a continuous environment where separation into discrete mediums dissolves. What is presented appears less a collection of finished works than a situation actively shared and persistently reconfigured through use.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cLiving with\u201d and \u201cthinking about\u201d operate as interlacing modes of attention that hold experience at the point of ongoing formation, where repetition begins to accumulate weight, where attention drifts and returns, and where fatigue or small intensities become part of the material itself; thinking moves within this field, slightly out of phase, while what is perceived sustains legibility but never stabilises.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This logic becomes concrete in the exhibition\u2019s spatial and procedural setup, where production and display are deliberately entangled: a small shop awaiting visitors at the entrance extends the system outwards, through T-shirts, zines, tapes, and printed matter produced on and off-site and immediately circulated; a workshop area keeps the creative process exposed, maintaining visibility of processes so objects remain legible as unfolding operations; a shared room functions as a space for listening, jamming, performing, tattooing, getting one\u2019s nails done etc, and informal exchange in which private reference and collective attention continually intersect; elsewhere rehearsals are held as a working condition within the same continuum of activity; and a sleeping zone constructed from reused materials folds rest back into the same operational rhythm, integrated within the broader field of production.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gro\u0161evs\u2019 practice extends beyond the exhibition itself into the infrastructures that sustain it <\/span>\u2013\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>running an independent space, curating, producing art and making music <\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/i>roles interwoven across a shared continuum, alongside a quieter pedagogical dimension grounded in proximity, where knowledge circulates through doing. The economic and material conditions surrounding this work remain close to the surface, shaping how the system functions and becoming part of its internal logic as a practice formed under continual pressure of self-maintenance in which making, organising, and sustaining blur into one another.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Analogue forms such as tapes and materially grounded processes serve as working tools that introduce duration, resistance and friction into a present oriented toward speed and resolution, allowing perception to slow enough to remain unsettled and resist fixed clarity. More broadly, tactility, imperfection, inconvenience and ambiguity operate as structural conditions shaping how things are produced, circulated and encountered, keeping meaning slightly unstable and responsive across shifting contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the level of infrastructure,<\/span> Live With\/Think About <\/span><\/i>shifts attention away from broadcast-scale distribution towards smaller, embedded constellations of exchange in which proximity becomes a method, and relations, objects and actions share the same field, enabling direct mutual influence across layers of mediation. The exhibition ultimately stages a continuous state of working-through across resolution. It unfolds as a live system, a life livestream of sorts shaped by use, co-presence and ongoing adjustment. Within it, persistence, production and reflection circulate in the same loop \u2013 an ongoing negotiation with the conditions of making and staying afloat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kaspars Gro\u0161evs <\/span><\/b>(1983) holds bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in visual communication from the Latvian Academy of Arts. Since 2014, he has been a co-founder and curator of the artist-run gallery 427. Since 2006, Gro\u0161evs has participated in both Latvian and international exhibitions, performances and cultural events as an artist interested in ideas around art, curatorial practice, and sound practice processuality, as well as the dissolving and blurring of their boundaries, operating at the crossroads of different creative communities. Gro\u0161evs has worked with experimental electronic music since the late 1990s, and sound in his exhibitions often appears as an extension of visual methods, in which painting also plays a significant role.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He has exhibited at the Latvian National Museum of Art, the Latvian National Library, Riga Smallest Gallery, Noass, TUR space, Kim? Contemporary Art Centre, C\u0113sis Contemporary Art Centre, Med\u016bza, the Radvila Palace Museum of Art, CAC and Editorial (Vilnius), darkZone (New Jersey), Harkawik, No Moon, and Art in General (New York), Futura (Prague), BOZAR, Shanaynay (Paris) and SIC (Helsinki). Gro\u0161evs has curated various exhibitions at Garage Gallery and City Surfer Office in Prague (2022), Skulptur Institut in Vienna (2022), Kim? Contemporary Art Centre (2025, 2020, 2019, 2015), P\/\/\/\/AKT in Amsterdam (2020) and Polansky Gallery in Brno (2019), among others. Since 2003, he has produced radio programs on radio NABA. In 2017, together with Labais D\u0101ma, he co-founded the cassette label No Sex Just Talk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His works are included in the collection of the Latvian National Museum of Art, as well as in numerous private collections in Latvia and abroad. In 2020 and 2022, he was nominated for the Purv\u012btis Prize.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
