On January 19th, the seminar “Communication of Art and Creating Public Awareness of Contemporary Art” took place in the seminar space of the Rothko Museum in Daugavpils. Māris Čačka discussed the importance of citizen involvement in art processes, particularly emphasizing communication about and with art, and highlighting the insufficient documentation of contemporary art in the region.
The presentation addressed:
- The challenges of interpreting and communicating works of art for those outside the art field.
- The impact of constant information distractions, often referred to as multitasking conditions, which significantly hinder the understanding of art messages.
The program featured concrete examples, stories, and reflections based on experiences with European art.
This event was organized by the association “Cita Daugavpils” as part of the “Cultural Sustainability Capacity Strengthening Program,” supported by the State Cultural Capital Foundation. The seminar was a collaboration with DVPI “Vienības nams” and DVPI “Rothko Museum.”
