mitrevics_kursisaOn Friday, January 17th, 8 pm Miks Mitrēvics + Kristīne Kursiša present their joint project “Let me google that for you” at the Netwerk center for contemporary art (Houtkaai z/n, B-9300 Aalst, Belgium).

The foundation for this project comes from something resembling a personal diary. A compilation of everyday observations, photos, personalities, notes and remarks made in many towns and in different times, under various circumstances. For most of the time, they reflect certain personal investigations, the accumulation of which became the main creative action of not only the personal space but of the whole creative space.

Excerpt from Miks Mitrevics & Kristīne Kursiša book Seven Thursdays. A Dialogue for Two.

KK:
I will never forget the phone call of August 13, 2012 at 1:01 AM. I was trying to sleep as the phone rang and there was silence on the other end.
The fifteenth day of your silence was over, so you called right at midnight but could not talk. Recently you told me that you actually had a stroke of paranoia on the island in fear that you might not be able to ever speak again.

ММ:
When some seven days had passed I started to think that there was atrophy in my vocal chords and I will not be physically able to speak ever again. I remember that it was the only time I uttered a quiet sound to be sure I am still able to do something like that.

Miks Mitrēvics (b.1980) and Kristīne Kursiša (b.1979) work together on an irregular basis since 2003.

The exhibition will on view from 18th January to 9th of March.

Orphan Fairytale is the solo project for experimental musician Eva van Deuren, of Antwerp, Belgium. Her last album Comets Come Alive (Blackest Rainbow, 2012) is a sea of sound that is so stunning it’s hard to put into words. Blending the minimalistic with the psychedelic, there’s not much else out there that sounds like what Eva does. The cover of this last album was photographed by artist Michèle Matyn.
