   Jelly Coasts and Milk Rivers, episode 2
   TIK, Riga, LV, July 22 -August 19, 2020
   
   

   The exhibition “Jelly Coasts and Milk Rivers” is created around the interest in formation of representations of collective desires and how narratives of past, present and future manifest and are constructed in a conditional urban environment. With an interest in the roles of actor and spectator, as well as the changeable margin between them, I was looking for common features in the urban environment and the performance creation process, viewing ideology as a metaphoric theatre director. The show was developed as experiential route and multimedia installation, with close relationship with surrounding architecture, emphasizing on its histories. When there is a moment to get on the stage?

   The show included works that are created in collaboration with photographer Mirko Podkowik, choreographer Sintija Siliņa.
   Actresses: Inga Raudinga, Dita zariņa-Aigare, Naomi Credé, Elisa Grasso

   Close Your Eyes and Smile

   Solo show at kim? Contemporary Art Center
   Riga, Latvia, August 22 - October 10, 2019

   At the center of the exhibition Close Your Eyes and Smile is an exploration of the individual and group responsibility. It also looks at the structure of game shows and similarities between how these and election processes are organized whilst upholding the myth of luck alive. Staged sculptural gestures interact with visitors' viewpoints, questioning when the moment to step up on the stage will come? 

   
   The performance made together with: Arta Kauliņa, Baiba Vanaga, Janīna Guterman
   Close Your Eyes and Smile hosted a video work by artist Mirko Podkowik.
   Finnisage of the show hosted edible intervention by artist Niels Albers.

   Jelly Coasts and Milk Rivers, episode 1

   Jelly Coasts and Milk Rivers is an expression used in Latvian language to describe a fictional place of wealth and happiness. Growing up in Latvia where society shifted from a communist past towards a capitalist future, I wonder how the idea of Jelly Coasts and Milk Rivers is represented in these regimes and how narratives of past and present are created, whilst directed and hosted within the Urban Stage.

    Private Within Communal

    Audio guided and narrated performance where spectators become actors. Starting with creating floor plans from all of the places where I have ever lived, I wonder how larger scale politics have influenced my personal paths. How much am I guided and where lies the choice? Narrative constructed around property law, its changes during the time and looking into my personal and my family history.
