Don´t Dream It´s Over

On Friday, 5 May, at 17.30 a group exhibition by professional doctoral students of the Art Academy of Latvia „Don´t Dream It´s Over“ will open in gallery Pallas.

The Latvians´ exhibition´s curator, Auguste Petre, gave it it´s name. Don’t Dream It’s Over, is a direct reference to the 1986 legendary song of the same name by the group “Crowded House,” which encouraged listeners not to succumb to the influence and consumerism of mass media, and also an ironic reminder of the potentially long-term nature of the study process. Artworks for the exhibition were selected from the existing arsenal of the creative practice of each artist/doctoral student; therefore, the project can be seen not only as an international representation of a specific study program but also as an individual exposition of each creator. As an equally important element, the importance of creative research today and questions about the diversity of research practices will also be highlighted in the context of the exhibition.

The artworks presented in the exhibtion are by Rasa Jansone, Atis Jākobsons. Rute Marta Jansone, Nils Jumītis, Madara Kvēpa, Anna Pommere, Ansis Rozentāls, Līva Rutmane-Kalniņa, Sandra Strēle, Laura Veļa, Sabīne Vernere, Linda Vilka, Martins Vizbulis un Veronika Voļska.

The exhibition team: curator Auguste Petre, exhibition artist Kristians Brekte, visual identity Anna Ceipe, project manager Inese Rozentāla.

The project is implemented by the Latvian Academy of Arts in cooperation with Pallas University of Applied Sciences.
