Exhibition "Empty space" consists of 6 series and more than 30 paintings viewable in Kanepes Culture Centre on the second floor in seven separate rooms.
Each series is a sovereign work, but as all were made in relatively the same period, consequent out of each other. I have always been interested in repetition, continuation, and duplication in each work individually and in the process as well. Maybe that's why working in series is so organic for me. It also gives me the feeling that my words are said more clearly and loudly. Overall currently I am interested in people, objects or spaces parallel existing with all other things. Always being one and a relatively lonely among many other similar. Trying not to concentrate on each individual's emotions or personality - it depends on the whole idea. Although each series has its own story and idea, they all share the code - one among many. This is not clearly loneliness or melancholy. This is also - celebrating the existence and peace. At first I focused only on people who provoked alienated person. In the latest works I also focused on objects and the environment, which consists of people's everyday life, because I saw a great similarity in human existence with the still and living objects.
The name "Empty space" occurred in the run of my last year's events, when it seemed that there is too much textual information, and that it does not help the work it is contradictory. The title was given for the whole - the exhibition and the works. In the display of the works it was important to distance them from each title of the series and individually - including the work annotations. The space was repaired during the Soviet period so it was significant to be cleared from the unnecessary information-acquisition to time and build exposition in an interaction with space. While entering the first room the viewer sees a text EMPTY SPACE - a single code for all - paintings and the environment, exposure and reception. Place for a clear space - your own interpretation without thinking of mine. An important aspect was the watchman- just like in a museum, an older lady was in one of the rooms, and with her presence it indirectly reminds the viewer not to feel too comfortable - to feel someone's close presence just like the the one of picture in display.

Exhibition is available for visiting until May 20th at Kanepes Culture Center (Skolas street 5, Riga).
