  Solo show "Kunst > everyday nothing" INTRO hall Riga Art Space | 2011

Young artist Liena Bondare presents a big installation called Kunst > Everyday Nothing (Art is bigger than the everyday nothing), an interactive, process – based work where the silkscreen printing tehnique is combined with ephemeral chalk drawings on 24 different size blackboards: a blown – up group with multiple referents, from Leonardo da Vinci and his thoughts on time and the instant, to the artists Joseph Beuys, Marcel Duchamp or Yukio Mishima in the idea of “art and life”. The title refers to a mathematical formula and takes us back to our school times with an invitation to intervene with chalks on the blackboards. She encourages us to reflect upon the meaning of art, its relation to life, the market and History, in addition to questioning the idea of authorship, original and copy. Anne Heyvaert
