The exhibition "Closed. The Concert is On" is a collection of "deliberate mistakes" by artist Linda Vilka. Her observations, contained in visual compositions of various sizes, cover a range of missteps experienced in the process of setting up exhibitions. It is an invitation to accept our own imperfections and to see in them our inner drive.
As the artist herself says: "Usually we artists deal with worldly issues, but this time I wanted to focus on the artists themselves and their creative process."
Linda Vilka (1995) is a multidisciplinary artist, Doctor of Art and guest lecturer at the Department of Environmental Art at the Art Academy of Latvia. She has been studying at ArtEZ University in Enschede and Vilnius Academy of Arts. She often works with emotionally saturated themes and memory fixation, paying special attention to rural areas and the stories found there. Her work has been exhibited in installations, paintings, videos and performative actions in public spaces. Linda often uses the textual form, capturing the impressions of her surroundings in abstract and sometimes absurd statements.
