KIM? CONTEMPORARY ART CENTRE

The exhibition The Future of the Past: Archaeology in the 21st Century presents a selection of contemporary archaeological research and discoveries that challenge our understanding of the past. Curated by Dr. Anna Veideman, the exhibition features works from leading archaeologists and institutions around the world.

What remains when we strip ourselves back to an essential core—and can that core ever be stable?

Kim? Contemporary Art Centre launches its 2026 exhibition programme with Power Station, a joint exhibition by artists Anna Egle and Ieva Putniņa, continuing to provide space for dialogue-based creative ideas to unfold. The two artists share a long-standing friendship and co-participation in various art events. The upcoming exhibition is their first major collaboration and, at the same time, the first display of Ieva Putniņa’s work at Kim? and Anna Egle’s most ambitious exhibition at the institution to date. Power Station develops as a conversation between Egle and Putniņa, a cross-fertilising visualisation of a charged creative cosmos, purposefully moving beyond today’s accelerated pace of life, and the resulting culture of productivity demands and intellectual cynicism. Through interplay between Egle and Putniņa, across four successive power station acts-segments, the exhibition presents a set of the artists’ new works in the media of large-format painting and sculpture, and highlights the need to (re)connect with natural processes, maintain inner harmony, and cultivate individual energy resources.
