Some time ago, IVARS GRAVLEJS and PETRA PĚTILETÁ decided to leave for Riga for one year. Ivars‘s origin are in Riga and he, therefore, wanted to rediscover the city of his childhood. The duo has moved into a new flat, Ivars found a job and both so became a part of this city. The exhibition RIGA is operating on a border of travel diary, reportage photography, social document and artist intervention. The work of Ivars Gravlejs and Petra Pětiletá are typical in their improvisation quality, expressed in the lightness of the finals shapes (but also the lightness with which they appropriate). At the RIGA exhibition we can find a complex view upon the baltic capital from the perspective of an artist duo which spent in Riga one year of their lives.
