"Asorti" Everita Vītola

The exhibition depicts the relationship of the collector with objects, emphasizing their properties that the collector considers appealing. These can be shapes, colors, materials or difficult-to-formulate feelings with which the object has attracted itself. For a person without pronounced hoarding tendencies, the appeal of such objects may not be understandable, but the rhythm created by the exhibition allows us to perceive objects outside their practical function or usual context every day. Every day, a new set of objects is exhibited in the exhibition, united by a visual, material or associative similarity. In this process, the objects appear as a series of temporary situations, revealing their power to address, be selected and attracted to a specific impulse without the background noise of the objects. An essential part of the exhibition is the process of inventory. For each exhibited object, a testimony is created - a portrait of that object in metal. The portraits, as the exhibition changes, gradually accumulate in the exhibition space, informing about the volume of objects that are not in the room.  

Exhibition opening: May 28, 2026, at 18.00.
