On Saturday, November 2 at 3:00 p.m., the Sea Gate Theater will open two exhibitions – the exhibition hall will feature Dita Lūse's painting exhibition "Another Light," and the gallery will feature Jānis Bartaševics' photo exhibition "Alice Through the Looking Glass."
Dita Lūse's paintings exhibited at the Theatre House "Jūras vārti" will create a kind of story about light as an image, illuminating various things worth thinking about in this dark autumn time. "Light is always important in visual art, but I am interested in painting light as an object and time as the present, in which memories of the past and what is currently visible merge. (..) Black without white, light is depth, silence, darkness. In order to achieve harmony, black must be raised to other heights, awakening light," says the author.
In the gallery, the master of black and white photography, architect Jānis Bartaševics, offers his vision of Lewis Carroll's famous character Alice in Wonderland, incorporating it into the contemporary landscape. The works seek the boundary between the real and the unreal, the material and the immaterial, which forces the viewer to look outside the framed frame, to see the invisible in everyday life.
The exhibitions are organized by SIA “Kurzemes filharmonija” and are financially supported by the Ventspils City Municipality and the State Culture Capital Foundation.
The exhibitions are on view until December 29th.
