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.

Curved Space
Acme Residency Showcase Exhibition
30 September – 22 October 2022
More info: www.peeruk.org/curved-space
Curved Space is an exhibition of new works by artists Holly Buckle, Kristīne Daukšte, Lisa-Marie Harris and Bryan Giuseppi Rodriguez Cambana, marking the culmination of a year-long residency with London-based arts organisation, Acme. The title of this exhibition directly refers to the curvature of their shared studio at Acme’s Warton House, where the four artists have been in residency since January 2022. Artists selected for Acme’s early career programme are invited without thematic restrictions, bringing a group of artists together to share a space, time, and conversation over the course of a year.
While each of the artists’ work is informed by their own perspective and processes, their work shares an interest in, and negotiation of, how communal space is navigated. In discussing their work, Gaston Bachelard’s 1958 book, The Poetics of Space, is frequently referred to a philosophical theory that proposes all spaces – architectural and imagined – embody meaning, feeling and memory for those occupying them and that space, in turn, evokes thoughts, attitudes and meaning dependant on an individual’s lived experience.
Kristīne Daukšte explores our relation to space. She is interested in how human bodies react to space and the objects within it and encourages viewers to question one's own attitudes to space and body. The work aims to create an environment that supports reflection on our own connection to actual and theoretical layers within objects and concepts in society.
Kristīne's background is in stage design, and this influence can be seen in her work in which she creates worlds that have morphed from a real-world narrative. Her installation at PEER starts with a poster on the wall outside and flows through the street-facing windows into a gathering of sculptures and paintings inside the space. The narrative of the installation stems from an archaeological dig that the artist was researching, in which some early human figurines and tools were discovered, representing how humans have been considering themselves within space for millennia and continue to do so, as Kristīne does through her practice.

Art Station Dubulti, group show 'PUBLIC ENCOUNTERS: IESAISTĪŠANĀS’; (LV)
In this exhibition, MA Fine Art students and graduates from Central Saint Martins and the Art Academy of Latvia are addressing the history and context of public art and critiqued the monumental or memorial's discourses through various experimental forms.
This site-connected work was created as a conclusion of the series “Actual pulp after pit comb culture”.
Actual pulp after pit comb culture
2020/2021
Art Academy of Latvia, room 60th
With this series of works, Kristine explores the human relationship with private space in conflict with others, oneself, gender, and the very inhabited space. The series of works are fictional documentation of the conflict experience displayed to create an imaginary space in a space. These experiences take new physical forms in different kinds of spatial, object, texture imprints, growths and marks that can be present within the actual material itself.
