The exhibition ‘SPAZA shop’ by Margrieta Griestina runs at MABOCA gallery Visuma Centrs 2 (Madona, Latvia) until February 28.
Store SPAZA is a shop for the GolfClayderman brand, offering fashion and household items. A cybernetic fox and a bohemian bear work there. The first branch was in Africa, but it moved to Madona after ending a contract with the beverage supplier ‘Monster.’ The store is now near the brand’s subsidiary, the MABOCA Gallery Universe Center. Some keywords about the exhibition: street, friendship, computer games, love, crime, the freshest sports goods, chickens, and yo-yos. Paintings, sculptural objects, fashion, and business.
Margrieta Griestiņa is an active artist working in interdisciplinary art collectives, including GolfClayderman (with Aksels Bruks) and Shady Ladies (with Ieva Putniņa). She is also the co-author of the MABOCA festival and the MABOCA Gallery Visuma Centrs 2.
The exhibition was made possible with support from the State Culture Capital Foundation and Erica Synths.
