Art Station Dubulti is pleased to present ART=SHELTER, a new ‘Presence and Production’ work by Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn. 

"ART=SHELTER is the form, my form, our form opposed to the present Ukranian-War, and furthermore, this form expresses also my belief, my instinct, my intuition toward all wars and war-behaviors: Art can and must be a Shelter, Art gives and takes Shelter" says Thomas Hirschhorn.

For fifteen days from April 21^st until May 5^th artist Thomas Hirschhorn is working in Art Station Dubulti from 9am to 6pm. It is both an artwork and a workshop-space. A sculpture and a presence. The artist leads workshop-sessions ‘Energy=yes! Quality=No!’. Daily lectures, presentations and discussions take place in the improvised studio at the ART=SHELTER.

The curator of the Art Station Dubulti Inga Steimane states: "Living through the Ukrainian war and facing collapses of concepts, structures and qualities regarded unquestionable until recently, including the art programme made months ago, Thomas Hirschhorn's empiricism seems reliable to stand with moral duties."
