The noisy case in a misguiding direction
Trokšņains gadījums maldīgā virzienā
Kristine Daukste & Liene Rumpe
Gallery "Pilot!", Riga, Latvia
15.08 - 19.10.2024
Long before the seeds of language and the arrow of time existed, there was a primordial beginning without memory. Time in it was reversible; there were neither floods nor droughts, and beings would regrow and be reborn backward, never experiencing death. The beginning was washed up by a sea so white that its waves could not be seen, while the air was filled with a ceaseless roar. From this primordial noise emerged the Ancestor.
"The Noisy Case in a Misguiding Direction" brings to life the concepts of chaos and order, perception and awareness, and other imaginative constructs in space. The exhibition focuses on the mysterious journey of the Ancestor, who has thrown the irreversible arrow of time into the material world like a spear. By following the scenography created by the Ancestor’s footprints, one can attempt to find some comfort or shelter. However, one is likely to end up with an empty basket.
This exhibition is organized as part of the "ACADEMIA" award that Kristīne Daukšte received in 2021. The award was established in 2021 through the collaboration of the Art Academy of Latvia, the Helen Scott Lidgett Studio Award, and ACME for professional career development, providing residency opportunities in London and Riga. In the final stage of the award—the chance to create an exhibition at the "Pilot!" gallery—Daukšte invited Liene Rumpe as a partner, combining their artistic interests: her scenographic vision and Rumpe's narrative approach.
