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.
A group of works titled “Nothing Is Still Something” places its focus on the surfaces and insides of objects, posing questions and speculating about the entanglement of matter and meaning. The objects are made of fiberglass – a material commonly used in the technological process of creating sculptures. The exhibition features a series of sculpture, an audiovisual installation, and text elements.
Krišjānis Beļavskis (1999, Riga) 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.
Exhibition was part of the Sculpture Quadriennal Riga 2024.
