LVM Academy Students' Exhibition “TO GROWL, TO CHATTER, TO SILENCE”

The exhibition was opened at the Jaunmoku Castle Garden Festival on July 20, and it will last until August 31 of this year.

Everything begins with sprouting in the sun.

Time flows strangely. Riga is driven away.

After two weeks of fidgeting and tiptoeing, something new has emerged.

Works are created in various media, from paintings to video projections.

The themes are diverse.

Some students have focused on the story of a ghost from the past.

A hundred years ago, in the Jaunmoku Castle area, a maid drowned in the pond out of sorrow and still appears around. The spirit of the legend weaves through and new poetic intertwinings are spun from it. The ghostliness is reflected in a pale mood with long and quiet shadows.

A witch is created. A skeleton hides in a coffee cup. A ghostly run is made around everything.

Others turn towards the forest and hunting.

It is important to enter the forest without unnecessary apathy and to hear the silence. To notice movement without noise. In the watchtower, a goal is formed. The environment is pinned to specific points. Nature is imitated, repeated, and exhibited. It pierces the contemporary and affirms the eternal.

Each work is an attempt to understand the surrounding environment and the possibilities of documenting it.

To touch the intangible, to see the invisible.

Represented are the Visual Communication and Movement. Image. Sound. departments of the Latvian Academy of Arts. The exhibition is created within the framework of the first-year summer practice.

The exhibition is also created within the framework of exploring joy and alienness.

You are warmly invited to look around and discover what you can.
