Multimedia fountain show in the courtyard of the Rothko Centre
On 20 April 2018, the launch of seven new exhibitions and a 4D multimedia fountain show will mark the fifth anniversary of Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre.
In April, five years will have passed since Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre opened its doors to the public as a multifunctional hub of contemporary art, culture and education in the historical Daugavpils fortress. On the night of its anniversary, the centre will become a portal between things old and new, well known and undiscovered, yet altogether rare and exceptional.
Throughout the day, the public will be able to enjoy the photo exhibition “This Side of the Sun” by Uldis Briedis, which will run within the framework of the 2nd International Rīga Photography Biennial. Another opportunity to appreciate diversity of photography will be provided by the final exhibition of the 2nd international photography symposium of Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre. As usual, the spring season will feature a juried group exhibition by artists from Latgale region “Another Spring – In Flood”. In addition, the viewers will be offered three solo exhibitions – “Conversion Device” by Georgian artist Rusudan Khizanishvili, “Invisible Worlds” by Madara Gulbis and “Nature is Silent” by Ieva Jurjāne. Finally, visitors to Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre will be surprised by a new art project “What is an Image? Life and the Art of Perception” from Pashmin Art Gallery in Germany.
