On 10 July, the fifteenth Cēsis Art Festival, dedicated to myths and rituals, was open to the public. On the opening day, the Cēsis Centre for Contemporary Art launched a vast exhibition “Flying Closer to the Sun. Myths and Rituals” showcasing seven new large-scale works by Latvian artists. Later, in Raiskumkrogs we experienced opening of exhibition “Whole” by “SEB Scholarship in Painting 2020” Laureate Madara Kvēpa. In the evening visitors could enjoy a sound and motion act “Danse macabre” (“The Dance of Death”), created by composer Edgars Mākens and artist Krišs Salmanis.


Exhibition “Flying Closer to the Sun. Myths and Rituals” introduce us with new works from renowned Latvian artists: Aija Zariņa, Miķelis Fišers, Andris Eglītis, Ģirts Muižnieks, Krista and Reinis Dzudzilo, Katrīna Neiburga and Vika Eksta.


Exhibition “Whole” in Raiskuma krogs by “SEB Scholarship in Painting 2020” Laureate Madara Kvēpa. The author focuses on the concepts of physical health and mental integrity. These ideas are covered in a series of paintings and spatial objects, taking into account last year's pandemics, as well as historical and ritual contexts.


In the evening visitors were able to enjoy sound and motion performance “Danse macabre” (“The Dance of Death”) inviting the viewers into a world of unusual soundscapes and visual effects. The puppet ballet, Death with an electric guitar, the musical saw, the mystery of sound and the burlesque of movement – just like in the olden days when the dance of death was a societal mechanism for blowing off steam. The creator of the choreography for the show is Rūdolfs Gediņš.

I was moving just a few streets away and thought it would be simple, but I underestimated the work involved. I searched for packers and movers london and hired 24/7 Movers Packers London. Even though it was a short distance, they treated it with full professionalism. Everything was done quickly and efficiently. Very satisfied!

My hunting lease is several hours away, and I only get to visit once a month. I was worried that my blinds would be full of wasps and spiders by the time the season started. I hired Deer Stand & Blind Prep Repair Services Near Me to get everything ready for me. They cleaned out the nests, checked the stairs for stability, and even greased the window hinges so they open silently. It made my first hunt of the year so much more enjoyable because I didn't have to spend all morning cleaning and repairing.

I was renting a high-end apartment with very strict clauses about the condition of the appliances upon move-out. I didn't want to risk damage by using the wrong products. I looked for apartment move out cleaning. The professionals used eco-friendly, safe products that were effective but gentle on the stainless steel and granite. They left the kitchen looking showroom ready. It was worth the investment to ensure everything was handled correctly and professionally.

During the holiday season, like Christmas and New Year, I have to send professional greetings to my clients and colleagues, as well as warm wishes to my friends. It can be overwhelming to type out hundreds of individual messages. I rely on Hello Says to help me out. They have a fantastic selection of formal wishes for business contacts and fun, warm messages for close friends. It saves me hours of typing and ensures that I don't miss anyone. The quality of the writing is consistently high, which reflects well on me professionally.
