at Savvaļa life is liveable and art is meaningful
(end of quote)
Savvaļa is a character taking part in it
Savvaļa itself is an artist of Savvaļa
H.E.Zēgners is an artist of Savvaļa and every poem
that either he or
Anna Auziņa (shuts her eyes facing the sun)
or a frog croaks in the pond
is wed to this place
same as your first wedding in the kindergarten’s sandbox
(the only difference)
Latvian Radio Choir sings
conducted by Sigvards Kļava
(everyone listens attentively)
what are you filing there?
A.Beļeckis asks A.Eglītis
and questions they ask each other are art objects
Staņislavs Tokalovs shapes a pit by digging it
and as it’s getting digged
the pit shapes S.Tokalovs
thus the pit is also an artist of Savvaļa
Egija Smeile finds a fitting angle
Rinalds Maksimovs passes the beat to a butterfly
and it starts dancing
and you
footprint on the mud path
you must have been originated by an artist
early in the morning after the discotheque (performed by
Henrijs Laķis of course)
but possibly that artist bid farewell to all of us already during the night
he or she wanted to hear voices of eight cellos
in the midst of a forest
in the midst of a heart
and now wants to make it back home
before their delight
makes them wake up in the meadow
among other late sleepers
safe travels my friend
murmurs the footprint on mud path
and hands Savvaļa its shape (one more artist)
yet it can also happen otherwise
Kārlis Vērdiņš for example
didn’t give Savvaļa his boot
Savvaļa's bog took it itself
has never been at Savvaļa but his poem has
maybe M.Pujāts is not an artist of Savvaļa
but his poem definitely is
that can happen by chance and intentionally
jazz is full of such things
Kārlis Auziņš knows that
Matīss Čudars knows that
Kaspars Kurdeko knows that
Ivars Arutjunjans tha tha tha toa tha tsss tsss
absolutely deliberately and rather accidentally
improvised and intentional happy-go-lucky
also Flo Kasearu
Tõnu Narro
Remi Vesala and Elīna Vītola (for example)
created intentional art objects
and now are artists of Savvaļa
because no-one floats a house mid lake just like that
and yet
was it her intention to create every single possible path
and non-path
leading to “Saint Christopher’s Hotel”?
that’s A.Krivade we’re talking about so you never really know
paths and non-paths are artists of Savvaļa
that you really can know
as well as
Andrejs Poikāns (knows it)
Alīse Vorobeja (knows it)
up till now not a single artist of Savvaļa has their name
starting with the letter B
at least not in passport
because for example a birch
that is beautiful and thus an artist
and bends always hanging ‘round start with B
same as that bird who builds a nest at Savvaļa's base building
pardon could it be that you actually are a common house martin?
Alauda arvensis?
even when she is not there herself
Elīna Silova sings in the Grey Cube
because the boards of the Grey Cube remember her voice
the facade of the Grey Cube is made of boards from sheds
and of the favor of donators of the sheds
boards of favor assembled by Kristaps Štrohs
Stefans Pavlovskis
Jēkabs Staris
Pauls Jēgers
Dāvis Sinka
brain and bolts and determination
things known also by Emīlija Kisiļeva
a horn’s hollow howl (you are)
silence
Vija Anna Moore?
he whispers a wise word to a leach in the pond (do not fear)
and now the leach meditates
and the pond considers it
what color are thoughts of the pond?
Sabīne Tikmane saw one
Evija Vēbere heard it
and this consideration strengthens everybody close by
Klāvs Kalnačs (come into closeness)
when you want to get someplace you have to go there
and we wanted them to be here
Savvaļa is a wonder
and anyone who has made S.Vernere laugh
knows what are wondersparks in someone’s eyes
so you can believe her
Elīz Elizabete Ramza
wonder wonder wonder
a poem is taking a run and jumping over the ditch
love is a fallen tree creating a diagonal
from one person towards another
or from a spectator towards an art work
or from an artist towards what is yet to become art
and they surely can to show it to others
a path shows the way out of a forest
a thicket shows the way to getting lost
what is shown by a thicket of sounds
is known by World Experience Center
and by Sintija Andersone
and Vilf Amis
Ricardo Ancona
and each and every separate sound wave
what are you filing there?
A.Beļeckis again asks A.Eglītis
when Eglītis sees a tree he does not only see a tree
but also timber
what is unknown is what a tree sees when it sees Eglītis
and what really does it mean for a tree to see someone
what is clear these two are linked by a bond of respect
colors know who is Ģirts Muižnieks
and Ģ. Muižnieks knows colors
they also are linked by a bond of respect
same as by respect night is bonded with bonfire
because they bring each other to light
and then they too illuminate
Romāns Apuriņš turns on a torch
and Savvaļa shines right back at him
and right back at Toms Ceļmillers
and Laimdota Malle
light signal (come into closeness)
who are you in Savvaļa?
Nando Valdemiers-Bišeris
what are you like when you like yourself?
what questions does Savvaļa ask to Katrīna Eglīte?
what questions does a pond ask a pond skater?
K.Eglīte receives and considers them
are the works of Linda Vigdorčika counter questions to her questions?
think about it but don’t tell
Viesturs Damroze writes something down on a piece of paper
this poem is not done yet
same as a bud on a branch is and then is a flower
where is Ģirts Muižnieks?
here with us
and Evita Vasiļjeva?
right here as well
of course
when this poem gets the cheer of recalling another friend
in torchlight or thoughts of the pond (come swim already!)
or (and) right in the midst of the heart
another artist of Savvaļa will emerge
