On Saturday, August 1, visitors can arrive from 12.00, when new works of art will be available for viewing, but Iveta Pole and Katrīna Neiburga will offer individual “Contemporary Pseudo-Rituals”. At 19.00 poetry readings of “Wild Book” will take place, and at midnight sound artist Maksims Šenteļevs will play a disco.
The artists’ works are located on a route of two levels of complexity, which will bring visitors the joy of meeting art and nature. Everyone can choose how to experience the “Wild” – as a mowed path or a wandering with not always dry feet with approximate directions. Therefore, it is better to go “in the wild” with rubber boots. People can also come in tents and stay longer. The exhibition does not have working hours and supervisors – it is available to visitors at any time until the end of the year.

For several years, the vast nature area with meadows, bogs, forests and overgrown housing ruins has been Andris Eglītis’ wild workshop, a place for solitary creative wandering and extraction of natural materials – for example, of sand, clay, mud, beaver-treated logs lying in the swamp, from which sculptures were made. The idea of organizing the “Wild” for a wider circle of people was born a long time ago, but it was the time of the pandemic that was the impetus to do so in order to further reduce the pace of city life and experience the joy of local travel.
