<\/p>\nOn 12 July, Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre will open a new exhibition of original works by artist Mark Rothko. The event will be marked by a public discussion and concert and attended by Mark Rothko\u2019s daughter, Kate Rothko Prizel.<\/p>\n
Three years have passed since the latest exhibition of original works by artist Mark Rothko was changed in Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre. And now the current 6 original works will only be on display until 1 July 2019, so that on 12 July 5 other valuable originals by Mark Rothko can be unveiled with a special programme of art events and a formal opening ceremony.<\/p>\n
The new selection of originals by distinguished artist Mark Rothko was selected from the private collections of his heirs, daughter, Kate Rothko Prizel, and son, Christopher Rothko. All the works will be new to the Latvian public. By established tradition, the selection will feature samples from different periods of the artist\u2019s creative life.<\/p>\n
The day\u2019s programme will begin at 1 p.m. with a premiere recital of an original audio performance \u201cThe Seeker\u201d \u2013 a synthetic blending of electronic and natural sounds by musicians Dace Straume and Kaspars Tobis. The new duo of musician, Dace Straume, and Kaspars Tobis, percussionist in the band \u201cDzelzs Vilks\u201d, master of synthesizers and multi-instrumentalist, will deliver a first-time recital of self-designed sound motifs. Kaspars\u2019 play on 4 synthesizers and 6 sound gongs will mix with Dace\u2019s vocals and her play on Latvian kokle and several unconventional instruments.<\/p>\n
After the concert at 2.30 p.m., the programme will continue with a public talk \u201cWho\u2019s afraid of red, yellow and blue?\u201d \u2013 a conversation in English between Brazilian artist, Marco Garaude Giannotti, and Academician, David Anfam, in the context of Mark Rothko art. In addition, Gianotti\u2019s one-man show will be unveiled next to Rothko\u2019s originals.<\/p>\n
The grand opening of the new exhibition of Mark Rothko\u2019s original works is scheduled for 4 p.m. It will be attended by Mark Rothko\u2019s daughter, Kate Rothko Prizel.<\/p>\n
