Artist collective Trīs aka <3 is composed of young artists and creative individuals:
Aleksandra Federika Krastiņa, Liene Lintere, Santa Kristiāna Krūze, Sīmanis Jākobsons and Katrīna Herta.
Trīs work both as a collective and as individual artists. Their mission is to unite, to use the tools currently available, to create a safe space for art, and to make choices that are least detrimental to those involved, developing a narrative of individuality from a creative and ironic perspective. Their artistic approach is iterative and intuitive, working through motifs by combining site-specific practices with performance, visual art, and land art.
The collectively found refuge in the historical building on Alksnāja street, inspired them to open “Alksnājs’’ doors not only to art lovers but also other artists, by frequently organising group exhibitions. The initiative for the current exhibition cycle was born with the idea to give space to experiments of artistic expression and connecting people with ideas, and a dialogue between the historical building and contemporary art.
