Exhibition of Agate Apkalne’s paintings “Personal route”
2024-02-24, 10:00 Liepaja Museum, museum enfilade 1.50
From January 11 to March 3, in the enfilade of the Liepāja Museum, Kūrmājas pr. On 16/18, the exhibition “PERSONAL ROUTE” of the works of Latvian artist Agata Apkalne can be viewed.
The cycle of paintings by Latvian artist Agata Apkalne was created in Liepāja, at the Karosta water tower, during the Art Festival.
The large-format works of the cycle “Personnel route” depict railway carriages that once ran on the route “Liepāja – Novopolotsk”, with inscriptions and overlays left by people over the years. At the time when the works were created, a lady who had worked on the railway came to the Karosta water tower and told what each number and symbol on the wagons meant, Agate Apkalne remembers.
The idea of reproducing railway wagons in large-format works has been patiently waiting for twenty years. “When I came to Liepāja and worked in the Karosta water tower, I realized that I wanted to realize this cycle, and I was given such an opportunity,” says the artist.
