Sologamy, a solo exhibition of Katrīna Neiburga, and curated by Auguste Petre, will be on view in the Cupola Hall of the main building of the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga (Jaņa Rozentāla laukums 1) from 8 June to 4 August 2024.

Alongside videos, which are projected in the white Cupola Hall of the LNMA as different kaleidoscopic fragments of a single story (at the same time retaining their autonomy), the exposition also includes artefacts from the observation of this self-relationship: prostheses of sologamic life and the lucky stone dress – an embodiment of the artist’s actual feelings.

Katrīna Neiburga is among the most important and productive artists in the Latvian contemporary art scene. She has made video works (including music videos) and films, created stage designs and projections for opera and theatre as well as working in the fields of installation, object art and performance. The author has received several awards, including the prestigious Purvītis Prize in 2009, two Latvian Grand Music Awards for the works Cantando y Amando in 2013 and the opera Chill in 2022, annual theatre award Spēlmaņu Nakts as best video artist (2023) as well as for the opera Chill (2022) and Malleus Malificarum (2023). She represented Latvia at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015 (with the work Armpit together with the artist Andris Eglītis; curator Kaspars Vanags) and was nominated for the prestigious Ars Fennica award in Finland (2008).

We are happy to support this show.
