Open-Air Exhibition 'In the Landscape' Questions Familiar Views
Artist and curator Annemarija Gulbe, inspired by debates over wind turbine parks in Saldus region, has created an open-air exhibition that challenges conventional landscape perception.
Exhibition Born from Wind Farm Controversy
Artist and curator Annemarija Gulbe took the heated discussions about wind turbine parks in the Saldus region as a starting point for her open-air exhibition 'In the Landscape' („Ainavā”). This social and environmental theme led her to develop a broader commentary on the character of landscape.
Summer Wanderings in Deep Latvian Countryside
The exhibition is set outdoors, with the displayed works serving as excellent landmarks for summer wanderings in deeper Latvian countryside. Visitors are invited not only to view the artworks but also to reflect on how landscapes change and what meanings are imposed upon them.
Art as a Commentary on Landscape
Gulbe's exhibition is not merely for aesthetic enjoyment – it is an attempt to question the familiar and habitual view of landscape. Through her works, she encourages viewers to look at their surroundings from a different perspective, considering both natural and human intervention aspects.
