Liminal Limbo brings together new work from four artists – Katrina EW, Oto Holgers Ozoliņš, Kristina Rezviha, and Patrīcija Māra Vilsone – who are on the cusp of Generation Z and Millennials. The premise of the exhibition is for these artists to create personal reflections on the times we live in, specifically from the perspective of a generation that has just begun to arrive on the scene and participate in cultural conversations with voices that carry significant and insightful reflections on humanity and the future course of history. As with every generation, Gen Z is shaped by the events and technological shifts that have occurred during their formative years. Gen Z is often characterized by their adaptability, social consciousness, and digital fluency, though they also face challenges such as heightened anxiety and a tendency towards instant gratification. This characterization reflects not only the influence of previous generations but might also offer a fresh point of view.
In Liminal Limbo, the artists present work that embodies the complexities of this generation's identity, exploring how the uncertainties of the present moment affect both personal and collective experiences. A defining characteristic of Gen Z is their frequent nostalgia for a past they never personally experienced. This sentiment is strongly reflected in the work of the four artists featured in Liminal Limbo. Oto Holgers Ozoliņš contemplates the increasing militarization of recent years in response to a belligerent neighbor and the wars creeping closer to our reality. His work references a time when toys for boys glorified war, subtly asking whether this will once again become a norm for the next generation.
