René Block has invited 13 Latvian and Nordic artists to participate in the exhibition at the Kunsthal 44Møen, located on the island of Møn, a UNESCO-declared biosphere reserve just off the coast of south-eastern Denmark where Block partially lives and works. The publication echoes the original exhibition concept while highlighting the resilience of the artists and curators that continue to find ways to connect and share art despite the challenges posed by the current situation.ġ7 June – 10 September 2023, at Kunsthal 44Møen Our two-part launch across two locations this summer hopes to inspire dialogue between international and local artists and practitioners, and with the local community during a time when collectivity and global discussion are so necessary.”ĭrawing a line under the concept of Exercises in Respect, RIBOCA3 will showcase artists from the cancelled exhibition, along with their documented projects, in a magazine which provides a platform to display their work and reach wider audiences. The exhibition had to be postponed and changed. We simply couldn’t continue working toward an exhibition rooted in mutual respect and cooperation, while these unthinkable crimes were being committed in Ukraine. The founder of the Riga Biennial Foundation Agniya Mirgorodskaya elaborates: “The war set out new priorities for everyone. RIBOCA3 was previously set to take place from 15 July – 2nd October 2022 under the title Exercises in Respect, but the organisation made the decision to cancel the event due to the devastating Russian invasion of Ukraine. Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art (RIBOCA3) returns this summer in a renewed format presenting parallel projects including a magazine launch, multiple shows from curator René Block and culminating in the main biennial project curated by SUPERFLEX There Is an Elephant in the Room.
