Thank You For Your Time

Solo show  at Keskpuur, Tallinn, Estonia
21.03. 2026 – 19.04.2026

In the early months of 2024, an open call was announced through which a participant was selected. Following a formal job interview, the winner of the open call was chosen and invited to observe Beļavskis working on a series of sculptures. The selected participant was paid €10.00 per hour — the average gross hourly wage in Latvia at that time. The only requirements were that they could not leave the studio during the working hours and were not allowed to engage in their own activities. A contract was signed, and over the course of 10 hours, a group of styrofoam sculptures was created. A number of them have been cast in aluminum for this show.

The premise of the work lies less in the articulation of a predetermined agenda, and more in the doing itself. It operates through a simple proposition: do thing A and see whether thing B emerges from it.
