WIL?* *what is love? Krista Dzudzilo and Reinis Dzudzilo kim? Contemporary Art Centre, Riga January 14 — February 22, 2015 The three words in the questioning abbreviation of kim? Contemporary Art Centre in Latvian stand for “what is art?”. The artists of the exhibition have chosen to ask a different, way more extensive and, by all parameters, larger question — “what is love?” (“kas ir mīlestība?” or also “kim?” in Latvian). Interpreting the last letter of the abbreviation emotionally and intimately, love and the new question become the meaning of the exhibition. Its message is written in the form of an essay — introduction, arguments, and conclusion. Krista Dzudzilo (1989) and Reinis Dzudzilo (1987) are a married couple who works in visual arts and theatre together. Reinis is a stage designer and Krista is a visual artist and costume designer. Since 2009 they have created stage design and costumes for stage productions in New Riga Theatre, Mikhail Chekhov Riga Russian theatre, Latvian National Theatre, Latvian National Opera, Valmiera Drama Theatre, Dirty Deal Teatro, Eduards Smiļģis Theatre Museum and Andrejosta. Reinis received the Latvian Annual Theatre Awards Spēlmaņu Nakts award Best Stage Designer in 2013 for the stage production of Raudupiete in Valmiera Drama Theatre. Krista was nominated for Latvian Annual Theatre Awards Spēlmaņu Nakts in the category Best Costume Designer for the stage production Vasarnieki in 2014, up until now she also has had 2 solo exhibitions — Nepārejošs, 2013 and Tukšā telpa, 2012. In 2012 both artists received Baltic Theatre Festival in Tartu Award Excellent Visual Image for the stage production IZRĀDE GALS in the Latvian National Theatre.

Memorandum of the Latvian Central Council, Riga, March 17, 1944 Translation from Latvian
Memorandum of the Latvian Central Council, Riga, March 17, 1944 Translation from Latvian INSPECTOR GENERAL OF THE LATVIAN LEGION MR. R. BANGERSKIS The Honourable General, An enemy from the East is once again ominously approaching Latvia. This is the same enemy whose armed forces had occupied the Republic of Latvia on 17 June 1940; this very power that as if on behalf of Latvian nation then had issued the Parliament of the Republic of Latvia (Saeima) Election Law and afterwards did not even bother to observe this very Law which by its form alone was sort of democratic; it was brutally breached by admitting only one – the communists’ and their collaborators’ – list of candidates; besides the results of balloting were forged. The outcome from such elections, of course, could not and did not provide nation’s true representation just the puppets selected by the Russian occupying power. These henchmen afterwards had taken a decision requesting to accept adhesion of the independent Republic of Latvia to the Soviet Union. Later the world was notified that the Republic of Latvia had voluntarily aligned with the Soviet Union. The same scenarios were carried out concerning the independent Republics of Estonia and Lithuania. Latvia’s incorporation in the Soviet Union was a brutal violation of the Constitution (Satversme) of the Republic of Latvia; it breached bilateral treaties signed by the Republic of Latvia and the Soviet Union, the Covenant of the League of Nations as well as various international treaties. Latvia’s incorporation in the Soviet Union is not being recognized according to provisions of international law.
