MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Līga Spunde's project "Episodes About Not Knowing" started in 2022 as part of the online programme "A Structure Envisioned For Changing Circumstances" (www.asefcc.org) curated by Maija Rudovska. The project originally is designed as a poetic digital artwork divided into several episodes, each episode representing a character. These include: an adventurous optimist, a weary pessimist, a data analyst, an esoteric and an artist. In 2024, the project was expanded to include two new characters - a Latvian and a Korean, highlighting the similarities and differences between the two cultures and their ways of dealing with the unknown. Each of these characters has taken over the online platform, offering their thoughts and visions of the future. The irregular, ever-changing nature of the work makes it unpredictable, emphasizing the lack of stability behind the current conditions in which we live. Meanwhile, the sometimes clichéd nature of the characters created by the artist symbolizes a collective state of mind in times of uncertainty, where we tend to fall back on archetypes, often adopting thoughts and feelings that are stereotypical. 

“A Structure Envisioned For Changing Circumstances” embraces the unknown and considers how art workers live and produce work within / around / despite constantly shifting frameworks. It focuses on the collaborations, support, and exchange that can take place across great distances, and allows for connections between different geographical locations, while also drawing attention to the creation of sustainable and long-lasting partnerships amongst artists and institutions. The online program has invited the following artists to contribute: Dave Greber (USA), Cristina Molina (USA), duo Anna Ihle (NO) and Addoley Dzegede (USA), Kjetil Detroit Kristensen (NO), Helene Duckert (NO) and Līga Spunde (LV).
