END IS NIGH
Dzelde Mierkalne
30/09 - 09/10/2021
A series of works about extremes, absurdity and reconciliation in the face of world events.
Dzelde Mierkalne (1997) is a multidisciplinary artist with a background in printmaking. Last year she was part of the first graduating class of the Masters program POST at the Art Academy of Latvia (2023). She has great reverence for technique and process with which she aims to overthrow technique-related artistic standards to create something new and find its place in today’s context. She likes to play around with the syntheses of drawing and form while reflecting on the existential fears of world destruction, mortality’s salience, and death anxiety through the lens of her generation’s post-irony and humor.
