OAOA Jūras Griesti (2014)

OAOA (Jūras griesti)
8.8.2014 - 28.9.2014

Kim? Contemporary Art Centre, in collaboration with the Centre of Performing Arts Jūras vārti in Ventspils and the Ocean’s Academy of Arts (OAOA), developed an exhibition as part of its regional summer tour—conceived as a tour-guide for a missing ceiling. A scenographic installation composed of various objects, video, and sound works was presented in the entrance hall of the Centre of Performing Arts.

Special attention was given to the mythology of a former ceiling structure once installed above the main stage hall, originally designed by the uncle of one of OAOA’s members. The exhibition followed its faint traces, attempting to understand both the conditions that called this ceiling into being and the circumstances under which it disappeared. Memories of the ceiling were narrated by Mārite Kluša.
