The exhibition presents both known and unknown events, facts and pictures that tell the story of the Bulduri area.

 The authors of the exhibition do not pretend to be a comprehensive presentation of history, as it is only the beginning of further research of Bulduri in order to create a permanent exposition in larger spaces. There is still a lack of information and there are many uncertainties and mysteries, which, like the Bulduri coin deposit, which can be seen in the exhibition, have not been fully resolved.

The exhibition was created in cooperation with the Latvian National Museum of History, the Latvian National Museum of Art, the Ęederts Elias Jelgava Museum of History and Art, the Latvian State Film and Photographic Document Archive of the Latvian National Archives, VAS "Latvijas dzelzceļš", images from the Latvian National Library, visual materials from the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia were used. collections. Authors of the exhibition: Inta Baumane, Līga Strazda, Egita Cironokas, artist Gundars Gulbis.

Aquatic lyricism and politics in Barbara Gaile’s solo exhibition AQUA.WATER

Barbara Gaile’s intentions show both modesty and ambition. The artist’s choice to paint and draw nothing but fragments of aquatic surfaces casts her latest exhibition in the light of disciplined serialism, where every subsequent image is a surprise in terms of nuance and a repetition in the larger scheme of things which has a single focus – water.

The water’s imagery is straightforward, so Gaile’s latest output can be called aesthetic landscape. Gaile treats water as a physical and biological matter that yields to idealisation and sets a certain mood. She uses a conceptual approach where water has become (if I may call it so) a screen reflecting the sky, the time of day and its state of light, the wind and an invisible realm of aquatic flora and fauna that gives the water its colour and plasticity. Water and all its atoms become a scenic image. At the same time, every scene is a moment in the viewer’s consciousness.

All the exhibits are new and never displayed before.

Entry: free.

In Dzintari beach, at the end of Turaida Street, an open-air exhibition "Beach of Art. Garden of the Sun" can be viewed.

The project started nine years ago continues - an open-air exhibition on the beach, in which the artists: Lilija Dinere, Matias Jansons, Mārtiņš Daksis, Aneta Jukličkova (Czech Republic) participate in a diverse composition, with a variety of creative handwritings, creating high-quality environmental art objects with technological solutions for creating and exhibiting works -  Andris Loss, Justine Patricija Legzdiņa and Artūrs Bogdanovs. The initiator of the beach exhibition project, who is no longer with us, sculptor Roberts Diners, will also present his works at the exhibition.

The theme of this summer's project "Beach of Art" is "Garden of the Sun", it is both a poetic metaphor and a reminder of man's age-old desire to explore the world, to understand his place in it, to find a harmonious interaction with nature, to look into his soul, which, like sunlight, is seductive and mysterious. An artist is like a sensitive sensor who tends to feel the vibrations of nature and, inspired by creative fantasy, reflects them in his works of art.

The objects of the exhibition fit organically into the sea, creating the feeling that they are artifacts of the interaction of nature and human creative thought. The sculptural works live in nature and change with the changes in the rhythms of nature, they also enchant at night and dusk, when the illuminated sculptural objects create a different emotional mood. In the evenings, visitors to the seashore can watch the setting sun, falling stars, the lights of ships flashing in the distance and see the mysteriously illuminated works of art.

 The project is implemented by the association "Erelde" with the support of the Jūrmala state city municipality in the co-financed initiative project competition.

 

Ieva Putniņa's exhibition "Kaķacs" features three large-format paintings and stone sculptures that combine both autobiographical and motifs related to Aspazija and Raini.
