This summer Estonian art project “Wild Bits” is joining forces with the art space “Savvaļa”, located in the northern part of Latvia, taking the “Wild Bits” satellite exhibition to the Latvian wilderness.
“Wild Bits” is a technological art residency and exhibition programme that will culminate with a large outdoor exhibition in summer of 2024 in the hilly landscape of South Estonia.
“Wild Bits” with three installations by artists Anna Tamm & Vinzenz Leutenegger (EE/CH), Jeanne Harignordoquy (FR) and Uģis Albiņš (LV) will arrive to “Savvaļa” in the middle of July and stay there until the end of the season.
On Sunday, 6th of August, “Savvaļa” and “Wild Bits” are inviting you to an excursion – it will include a curatorial tour, a public conversation led by the “Curatorial Summer School” of the Art Academy of Latvia, common cooking and a sauna. Guests can take their time for non-curated wandering and maybe allow themselves a few refreshing dips in the ponds and forest lake. Everybody's welcome to contribute something to the table (snacks, veggies etc.) and bring their own drinks.
Practical info:
Bring your rain boots/outdoor shoes, mosquito repellent, sun protection and towel with you.
“Wild Bits” is organised by an art and tech farm “Maajaam” and is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024.
“Wild Bits” satellite exhibition in “Savvaļa” is supported by the European Capital on Culture 2024, French Institute, State Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia and Vidzeme Planning Region of Latvia.

Inga Meldere un Miko Hincs izstādē nodarbosies ar krāsu pigmentu iegūšanu no dabas materiāliem, laika gaitā atvērtas darbnīcas formātā tos izmantojot “Baltā kuba” audekla gleznojumiem. Hincs ir Vācijā dzimis somu mākslinieks, kurš dzīvo un strādā Helsinkos, viņa miniatūru formātā veidotie darbi izstādīti gan daudzviet Somijā, gan Baltijas valstīs. Arī latviešu māksliniece Inga Meldere rezidē Helsinkos, savos darbos detalizēti un smalkjūtīgi pētot dažādas glezniecības prakses un metodes.
Heli Lāksonena ir somu dzejniece, kas raksta dienvidrietumu somu valodas dialektā. Latviski līdz šim iznākušas grāmatas "Kad gos smei", "Piec ait kalns", "Soul. Burkans. Undens" un "Paņēmi manu sirdi no plaukta". Tās visas latviski atdzejojis Guntars Godiņš, izmantojot Vidzemes piekrastes lībisko izloksni – lasījumā abi uzstāsies kopā. Tam sekos Siensliena jeb Klāva Kalnača koncerts – viņš zināms arī kā grupu “Nielslens Lielsliens” un “Židrūns” solists, kurš dažādu muzikālu ansambļu ietvaros rakstījis dziesmas gan ar Lāksonenas, gan Godiņa tekstiem.

Solo show by Dāvis Ozols "Zāle" ["In The Grass"] at the Grey Cube is opened until April 2023.
The series of works by Dāvis Ozols was created in traditional painting techniques, using oil and watercolor. "The color used in the paintings creates a metaphor for a romantic perspective. Living in an era where culture is consumed quickly, I try to represent the oppositional side of culture, the slow processes, in this case painting," says Ozols; the focus of the works is the landscape of plants from the perspective of the earth.
