APIE TRAPUMĄ
Keli paskutiniai metai, sukrėtę visą pasaulį, leido suvokti, patirti žmogaus gyvenimo ir jo tarpsnių trapumą, išgyventi slenkstines būsenas, atrasti savo pačių jausmų, poreikių, galimybių turtingumą. Metaforiškai apie trapumą, jo kintantį grožį bei turtingumą kalbu ieškodama sąsajų augalų gyvenimo transformacijose, kintančių formų atradimuose, stebėjimuose bei jų fiksavime fotofrafijoje ar skulptūrinių objektų sukūrime.

Zidrija is Lithuanian artist working in painting, installation, land art, video and performance art, organizer of art events, active in Lithuanian and international art field since 2007. Zidrija’s artworks are defined by stillness; her art opens up to an experience of intense meditative silence, which is being personal, is shared with whoever choices to enter the special time space created by an artist. Her arts are mostly meditative, calming and mind relaxing. On another hand this is how she creates the loop for particular and always individual comprehension, perception of viewer. (Vaida Tamoseviciute, artist and curator)

BEAUTY OF FRAGILITY

The last few years have shaken the whole world, allowed us to understand and experience the fragility of human life and its stages, to survive thresholds states, to discover the richness of our feelings, needs and possibilities. I speak metaphorically about the fragility, the richness of changing beauty, looking for connections in the transformations of plant life, in the discovery of changing forms and their capture in the photographs or sculptural objects and installation composed of them. This idea of fragile beauty of nature, of human life I brought from my country, but the main inspiration and realization happened here in India at Art Junction residency, where I have spend more than 3 month. Every moment of our life is beautiful with all its changed forms, states and its fragility.

The work is composed of street performance/a workshop, set out in the public space of Žagare, where passers-by are to be invited to immerse themselves in the meditative Japanese technique of suminagashi. Suminagashi (墨 流 し/sue-me-NAH-gah-she) or "floating ink" is the process of drawing on the surface of water, and leaving the drawing on the paper with water and ink, believed to be the oldest form of marbling, recorded in China more than 2,000 years ago. The process will be given to all who want to try it in a performative way by the artist duo, and the fragments collected by many hands of street wonderers are to be collected and turned to wind turning objects, set as an installation to catch the winds of the city.

Art centre NOASS together with art studio Fargefabrikken (NO), has created a travelling exhibition of contemporary art for children and youth.

The exhibition, located in two minivans, offers an interactive exhibition and a creative workshop, getting to know the use of technology in art. Four artists from Latvia and Norway have participated in the project, and with the help of children of two pilot schools, created new works of art in various media. The travelling exhibition is accompanied by a thoughtful educational programme that will foster children’s creativity in an informal, supportive and encouraging way.

“Art on Wheels” is a project funded by the European Economic Area (EEA) grant programme “Local Development, Poverty Reduction and Cultural Cooperation.” The project receives a grant of €206,518 from the EEA grants of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and State co-financing in the amount of €36,444. The project implementation period is from November 1, 2022, to April 30, 2024.
The project is supported by Novum Riga Charitable Foundation.
