Two parallel lines never meet or intersect. These lines could also be science and art. It is only perspective that makes these lines tend towards one point on the horizon, one goal: to create an entirely new environment for experimentation.

The floating art centre NOASS combines visual art and science to create a project that reflects the current issues in ecological environmentalism and includes a perspective for the fusion and infinite interaction of several creative disciplines.

NIKOLAJS STŪRIS “IN FATHER’S MEMORY”

New addition to the exhibition “In Spite of Everything”

(Currently happening / outdoor exhibition)

Nikolajs Stūris ir Latvijas armijas virsnieks un mākslinieks, kura dzīves gājums un gleznu motīvi ir cieši saistīti ar Latvijas Valsts neseno pagātni. Viņa gleznās attēlotie notikumi ar aculiecinieka tiešumu dod iespēju ielūkoties Latvijai nozīmīgos vēstures notikumos.

Latvijas Naivās mākslas muzeja krājumā atrodas vairākas Nikolaja Stūra gleznas no kurām nozīmīgākā ir triptihs – altārglezna “Tēva piemiņai”.

VIJA VĒTRA “1:100”

(Currently happening / outdoor exhibition)

“Vija Vētra 1:100” is an art project celebrating the 100th anniversary of the outstanding artist and choreographer. It consists of an urban object on the facade of the NOASS art centre, a multimedia installation on three monitors and an exhibition of the artist’s original works. The urban object on the facade of the art centre is inspired by the motifs of Vija Vētra’s drawings and the artworks created by children and their parents in creative workshops.
