ISSP Artist-in-residence Sam Margevicius (USA) will present new works made in Riga during the first months of 2023.
Work in the exhibition Winter Sketchbook explores the mental space of Winter, a time of stillness and introspection. Margevicius often visited a community garden across the street from his apartment, finding solace in the dormant seedbeds and empty trellises. Photographs made between the apartment and the garden have been printed on old Soviet paper, accompanied by a single sculpture, and a 32 page zine.
The Opening and zine launch will be held at Bolderaja 27 on February 25 at 20:00-23:00. The exhibition will be open to the public Wednesday through Saturday from 19:00 to 23:00, until March 11th.
This exhibition is made possible thanks to ISSP, Baltic Analog Lab, and Bolderaja 27.
Sam Margevicius is working in and around photography. He uses photography to examine the relationship between materials and meaning-making, adding playful layers of complication through writing and sculpting. www.sammargevicius.com
