Art Objects in Riga. Boris and Ināra Teterev’s Programme "Art in Public Space". 2021.

The program “Art in Public Space” is Boris and Ināra Teterev’s contribution to making Rīga an outstanding cultural metropolis.

The program’s leitmotif is THE JOY OF THOUGHT to emphasize that contemporary art can spring surprises and highlight paradoxes of a positive nature, as well as introduce global trends and the presence of thought to the urban environment.

The practical aspiration of the program is to create enduring works of contemporary art in the public space.

The program’s activities began in 2012 with the installation in the atrium of the Art Museum Riga Bourse of “Gondola”, a work by Russian artist Dimitry Gutov, followed by the creation of a monument to the great Latvian-born ballet dancer Māris Liepa outside the Latvian National Opera (unveiled in 2013).

Already 11 art objects shown in the video have been created.
