The exhibition ‘a wall without a window is not the same as a wall without a door (AWWAWINTSAAWWAD)’ by Krišjānis Beļavskis at the DOM Gallery runs until August 31.

Enter a rock from below, through the ground. Or a tree. Perhaps it has no roots down there. They appear only when the ground is dug up and your eyes can see them. While I am not looking, a bowl bounces on the kitchen table. The table is a surface. The table stands on the surface of the ground but if the table is flipped upside down, the ground stands on the table. A bucket is a blanket and to arrange means to trick.

Beļavskis holds a BA in arts from the Sculpture department in the Art Academy of Latvia. He spent two semesters studying at Art Academy of Munich (ADBK München) class led by Peter Kogler and continues his studies at POST, an interdisciplinary MA program.
