Life After Parties and Grasshopper's Autumn

Paintings

What have you learnt from the changes in recent years in Latvia and the world?

I have finally realized how much I have been given and how little extra I really need.

How does your project for SURVIVAL KIT 2 fit in with the festival theme?

My friends’ and confederates’ slightly ironically sad portrait series Life After Parties jeb Sienāzīšu rudens, in my opinion, tells a lot about our second life or life after the good life, after our absolutist nineties, in which – the end of the world failed to arrive and one had to accept the idea that life goes on. (Mārtiņš Ķibers, Casablanca, 2000).

Why haven’t you left yet?

I intend to await the next deadline in 2012 with an impressive solo exhibition at the LNMA’s Arsenāls Exhibition Hall.
