Asorti

Everita Vītola (LV)
28/05 - 13/06/2026

The act of selection alone is enough to create an artistic process, even if it takes place dilly-dallying around a shopping centre. A visit to a store can be considered similar to a museum if the context or function of the objects on display is irrelevant to the viewer. Mass-produced goods in stores are usually perceived as anonymous objects whose main quality lies in their practical use. However, once these objects are selected and removed from their usual contexts of production and consumption, they assume a new role, allowing viewers to observe and appreciate their individuality and form.

Collected over several months, the objects in Asorti are transformed into a constantly changing installation in which a different combination of items is displayed each day. Fluffy Easter chicks, smiley-face stickers, pool noodles, plastic flowers, bubble wrap, cocktail decorations, fishing lures, and other everyday objects form a landscape of consumer aesthetics, humor, and excess.

Everita Vītola (2001) is a young artist working across various media, including installation, 3D art, and painting. In her practice, she ironizes everyday desires and patterns of social behavior through the use of exaggerated clichés and symbols.
She is currently studying in the Department of Environmental Art at the Art Academy of Latvia and is a graduate of Janis Rozentāls Art High School. Participated in the group exhibition “Virzienmaiņas” at the Riga Contemporary Art Space (2025), “Simbioze 2.0” at RAA (2025), “BakterijaTakeover” at Kefirsstudio (2024), as well as in other projects and exhibitions.

The exhibition is part of Riga Art Week program
