On 26th August 2010 at 6 pm at the hall museum Arsenals there will be performance Indirect Communication made by artists from Switzerland, Mexico, India, Estonia and Latvia.
Child from early chilhood sees the adult world and different roles, what they play. He tries to understand whether they play it with joy or with pain, with the feeling of duty or avoidance. The idea of this performance will be different roles, that have impressed and became engraved upon artists memory the most. There will be solved the questions, that are always left into the cirle of family, questions about what nobody knows, questions about only you know, because nobody else have the vaguest notion that you are solving them.
Performance Group It Sounds Like Rita (Maja Zimmerman, Cecile Woibel, Martina Baldinger, Andrea Baldinger, Manuela Maurer) (Switzerland) made performance Rita in Riga II. It Sounds Like Rita was collecting collective memories, that they froze on sofa and release at the form of collective utopias.
Alejandro Chellet (Mexico) performance Standing as... included two topics: one was discussion about how art is exhibited in such places as museums and galleries – on a base, with a special light. The second was theme about how we are educated as individualities by our parents, what impact they make on us, especially in childhood and what role it plays in the future.
Suva (India) made authopigraphically ritual performance with percussions and ropes. Te most of all artist is interested in space, viewer and the mood during the performance. Artist likes to construct some kind of energy with materiāls and the feeling of the space, as well as to participate viewers into his performance.
Ville Karel (Igaunija) made one and half hour long durational performance Father, where he used the space, time and movement of the hall. Performance consisted of several parts and it was as a gift to viewers.
Kirils Panteļejevs (Latvia) performance What are you thinking about? was about the flow of human subconsciousness, about contrast between what man thinks, what he says or what he feels shy to say. Performance was about two sides of man – the one is seen and the one unseen, where nobody can look in.
Zane Matule (Latvia) made one and half hour long durational abstract performance, where she went through her childhood relations with her parents. Artist left much space for the interpretation to viewers..
