Some Instances of Encounters between Imagination and Matter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book “Some Instances of Encounters between Imagination and Matter” is a case study of Exhibition — a show by Andris Eglītis (b. 1981) presented at the Latvian National Museum of Art in autumn 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt collects “Traces” (documentation of the Exhibition by photographer Reinis Hofmanis and photos of the creative process by Eglītis himself), and “Reverberations” (critical writing: a philosophical essay by author and curator Jonatan Habib Engquist; an interview with artist Andris Eglītis by poet and performance artist Agnese Krivade; an essay contextualizing Eglītis’ art in contemporary art discourse by art historian Santa Hirša).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeen by nearly 30,000 visitors, the Exhibition was not only Eglītis’ largest solo exhibition to date but also an attempt to bend, disturb, and rewrite what a museum and an exhibition can be. It reached outward — from the solitary figure of “the artist” toward a chorus of other voices, beings, and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaped by Eglītis’ recent practice — primarily painting, but also building, sculpture, installation, and set design — Exhibition unfolded in dialogue with works by friends and collaborators, many linked to Savvaļa, a collective project founded six years ago in his open-air studio in Drusti. Since then, Savvaļa has actively influenced the contemporary art landscape of the Baltics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition reimagined the post-socialist in dialogue with the post-humanist — a radical form of landscape painting where the landscape itself becomes the painter, and companionship becomes an artistic method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Latvian and English.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SIA \"Zuzeum\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56694011593035,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/8750\/2923\/files\/473.jpg?v=1772638580","url":"https:\/\/zandele.shop\/products\/andris-eglitis-some-instances-of-encounters-between-imagination-and-matter","provider":"SIA \"Zuzeum\"","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
