Media tour:
BINDE 100–10
On Thursday, 19 September 2024, at 11.00 the Latvian National Museum of Art invites mass media representatives to the media tour of Gunārs Binde’s solo exhibition BINDE 100–10.
Registration of participants:
10.30–11.00
Celebrating the 90th birthday of the legendary Latvian photographer Gunārs Binde (1933), the artist’s solo exhibition BINDE 100–10, part of The Generation cycle, will be on view in the right wing galleries of the 2nd floor of the main building of the Latvian National Museum of Art from 21 September 2024 to 19 January 2025.
During his photographer’s career spanning 67 years, Gunārs Binde has received both local and international recognition, earning dozens of awards for the works in foreign photography salons. The exhibition reflects the artist’s path towards and through these achievements by creating a metaphorical diary of key events, themes and people, while occasionally interspersing the visual narrative with Binde’s personal reflections in both textual and audio format.
The exhibition BINDE 100–10 weaves together the never-before-seen with the long-forgotten; the aesthetical experience is enhanced by the well-considered exhibition design and specially commissioned musical accompaniment that reflects the artist’s boundless creativity and gives visitor the opportunity to momentarily become part of it.
