Kim? Contemporary Art Centre

About

Kim? is an art centre devoted to ideas, gestures, textures and interventions that shift from “a well-trained chameleon face” to a cadavre exquis, from “a polygon, a laboratory, a lighthouse” to a hybrid organism. Founded in 2009, Kim? has actively contributed to the art discourse in Latvia and on a global scale with exhibitions, international collaborations, discussions, publications, talks, and performances. Over the years, Kim? has worked with both emerging and renowned artists, theoreticians, curators, philosophers, translators, and thinkers of other spheres, aiming to provide a responsive context to their work and to make critical practices accessible to a broader audience. Kim? with its name being a question itself (“kas ir māksla?” – what is art?) inhabits an ongoing series of questions about art in contemporary society. With over 200 exhibitions under its belt, Kim? continues to probe, to question, and to show.
