“Written in Neon. Latvia” is lighting up regions of Latvia. New Theatre Institute of Latvia in collaboration with internationally renowned theatre director, dramaturg and visual artist Tim Etchells and four artists from Latvia \u2013 Santa Remere, J\u0101nis Balodis, Kirils \u0112cis and Inta Balode \u2013 invite inhabitants of Tukums, Aizpute, R\u0113zekne an R\u012bga and the guests of the cities to go on expeditions and enjoy these urban installations. The artworks will be available till the 31st of December.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Etchells\u2019 neon and LED pieces often draw on his broader fascinations as an artist, writer and performance maker, exploring contradictory aspects of language \u2013 the speed, clarity and vividness with which it communicates narrative, image and ideas, and at the same time its amazing propensity to create a rich field of uncertainty and ambiguity. Through simple phrases spelt out in neon, LED and other media, Etchells strives to create miniature narratives, moments of confusion, awkwardness, reflection and intimacy in public and gallery settings. Encountering the neon sign works, in the streets of a city or in the space of a white cube gallery, the viewer becomes implicated in a situation that\u2019s not fully revealed, or a linguistic formulation that generates confusion or ambiguity. As often in Etchells\u2019 work, in the neons the missing parts of the picture are as important as the elements that are present. Invoking a story, or projecting an idea out-of-context, the work invites us in, but into what exactly we can\u2019t be sure.<\/p>\n

This summer publicist Santa Remere, theatre maker J\u0101nis Balodis, author of dance texts Inta Balode and poet Kirils \u0112cis took part in text making workshops led by Tim Etchells, in which they reflected on important topics and values in modern society by transforming text and language itself, freeing it from theatrical layers, showing words: their sounds, meanings and unknown word strings.<\/p>\n

From August till October the neon signs were presented in Riga, but in November three of the five pieces travelled to different regions of Latvia \u2013 Tukums, Aizpute and R\u0113zekne, while two of the installations are still available to see in Riga. <\/p>\n
