“The Baltic Sea – floating trunks” project curated by Swedish artist group SIMKA will be another not-to-miss event this summer. On August 7 the floating art installation – choreography of water and wind – will be installed on water, next to the AB Dam galleries. “The Baltic Sea – floating trunks” will have a shape of trees colony wrapped in layers of textiles, planted in large life-buoys and swaying in the streams of the river Daugava. Produced in collaboration with Culture and Arts Project “NOASS” and Pori Art Museum in Finland, the project symbolises a unity of the three cities – Umeå in Sweden, Pori in Finland and Riga in Latvia – which geographically frame and represent the Baltic sea and offer creative waterside space. Additionally, Riga and Umeå are European Culture cities 2014, whereas Riga and Pori celebrate a 50 years anniversary of being Twin towns / Sister cities.
