Artists Have Withdrawn from RIBOCA as Latvian Curators and Critics Say “Not Our Biennial”

The Riga International Biennial of Contemporary (RIBOCA), founded by Agniya Mirgorodskaya, a Russian oligarch’s daughter, has brought significant investments into Latvia’s cultural scene since its inception in 2016. Her father, Gennady Mirgorodsky is a prominent Russian businessman, both a fisheries tycoon working in the arctic as well as developing extractive industries in Siberia. With the outbreak of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the biennial halted its activities but now plans to resume. In response, Latvian artists have withdrawn from the biennial and local curators and critics have published articles revealing the biennial’s deep involvement with Russia’s oligarch class.

Museum Diplomacy: The International Expansion of Western Art Institutions

The “Bilbao effect” refers to the city-wide economic uplift that cultural investment and starchitecture can catalyze. It is named after its successful implementation through the development of Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum in the Basque Country. This phenomenon appears to contrast with object repatriation, but it shares a delicate discussion on power dynamics. Whereas repatriated objects are looted and brought to the world’s financial centers, in this case the culture, values, and ideas of those centers are exported to the rest of the world. This phenomenon has put into question the complexity of museum diplomacy—the use of museums as a tool to achieve different political goals. Two recent examples are the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Centre Pompidou x West Bund Museum, which serve as cases seeking to replicate Bilbao’s outcomes.

Land, Art: Olafur Eliasson’s Ecocentrism In Qatar

Olafur Eliasson opened his first solo exhibition in the Gulf region this March at the National Museum of Qatar. The curious desert runs from the 19th of March to 15th of August with the objective of spotlighting nature’s intrinsic value. The exhibition’s viewpoint centers on the environment, something paramount during a global climate crisis. However, Eliasson’s artwork comes only a few months after the World Cup’s sustainability scandal. Critics could allege that the exhibition is an example of performative sustainability or artwashing. Yet, Eliasson’s pieces within the Qatari context require a deeper examination.
