„CATALOGUE” is a publication and an artwork by Hanele Zane Putniņa, printed in book format of 24 original linocut prints, in which the printmaker and the author of the catalogue, without showing their own artistic suffering, reflect on 5 collaborative exhibitions through their subjectively selected impressions. “Catalogue” documents a cycle of five visual art exhibitions that took place at the Riga Circus Elephant Stables 2019 /2020. This is also the concluding exhibition of the cycle.
Portrayed in the catalogue are four collaborative exhibitions that were organised by the MONUMENTĀLĀ KAFEJNĪCA association and took place in Riga Circus Elephant Stables, as well as the fifth exhibition that never happened:
IEVA PUTNIŅA (KASPARS GROŠEVS) – FAT GNOMES (EARS OF NEW JERSEY);
MARTA TREKTERE (ELĪNA VĪTOLA, AMANDA ZIEMELE) – COMMISSION;
ANNA CEIPE (KLĪGA) – SERIAL SOLUTIONS (BANALAICS);
IEVA KRAULE-KŪNA (ANNA BERNARDE) – HAPPY 8th MARCH! ;
KATRĪNA ČEMME (JAKOB KOLB, PATRICK ROMAN SCHRER) – SONG OF THE BELL.
Commentary written by Elīna Vītola and Amanda Ziemele, Kaspars Groševs, Ieva Kraule-Kūna, Anna Ceipe and KLĪGA. Afterword written by Līga Spunde.
On the opening day of the exhibition the catalogue unfolded for viewing, but the following day it was handed over to the National Library of Latvia to live eternally in its archives.
