Publication Archiving ‘en plein air’ included in the spatial installation Reading the Room / Part Time Gallery, Riga, Latvia / November 7th-December 6th, 2025

8.12.2025

In the spatial installation created by the architecture studio Gaiss, visitors will find zines and publications by artists, architects, and designers — Evita Vasiljeva (zine published by kim? Contemporary Art Centre), Pauls Rietums, Agnese Bebre and Kitija Pekaine, Maike Statz (book published by Hverdag Books), Liene Pavlovska, and Svens Neilands, as well as books by Olivia Viitakangas and Sauli Sirviö (books published by Utu Press), and an issue of the magazine Avīzes Nosaukums created by Kristaps Šulcs and Elīza Brice.

The works gathered for the exhibition explore and question the relationship between the individual, time, materiality, and space. Through the publications on view, the artists, designers, and architects observe, draw closer, contextualise, admire, and critique a place — its materiality, the boundaries created by space, and its possibilities.

The exhibition was conceived as an artist-curated event, an attempt to think about how one’s artistic vision can be opened up as a conversation. Exhibition is curated by the association Neatlaidība — Liene and Oskars Pavlovski.
