CUT ART presents a new exhibition “Lyuta Vesna - Lost Spring”
On March 15, 2025, CUT ART will present the opening of a new exhibition “Lyuta vesna -Lost Spring”, which will feature the works of the famous American film director Cary Joji
Fukunaga, as well as video work by Ukrainian artist Tetiana Malinovska.
Cary Joji Fukunaga is one of the most ambitious masters of contemporary cinema, known
for the films “No Time to Die” (James Bond), the series “True Detective”,as well as the Oscar-winning project “Victoria para chino”.
The project “Lyuta vesna - Lost Spring” was created in 2022, when the director was
volunteering in Ukraine. It was there that he captured the footage that formed the basis of
this exhibition. The project was first shown at Leica Gallery Madrid in 2023. In his
photographs, Fukunaga explores the contrasts between loss and recovery, demonstrating
how even in the most difficult times, light and humanity can be found.
An important part of the exhibition will be Tetiana Malinovska's video artwork "Silence",
presented by CityX Foundation and Kharkiv Municipal Gallery. Tetiana Malinovska is
one of the leading Ukrainian artists who has been developing her contemporary art practices
since the Kharkiv NonStopMedia Festival (2003). CityX Foundation collaborates with her on programs to support Ukrainian artists, and in 2025
Malinovska's work was presented at the Zona Maco art fair in Mexico City.
The video “Silence” was first shown in Kharkiv in February 2022 - a few days before the
war, in 2023 it was shown in exhibitions in Poland. This video project is about lips and
silence, conveying tenderness, anxiety and the desire for dialogue. The work epitomizes a
woman's strength, patience and love, especially in wartime, when these qualities become a
source of hope.
The exhibition will open on March 15, 2025 in the new space CUT ART, located in the
HOFT project at Strēlnieku iela 5, Centra rajons, Riga, LV-1010. On the opening day, the
gallery will be open from 15:00 to 18:00. The “Lyuta vesna - Lost Spring” exhibition will run
until May 2, 2025.
The "Lyuta Vesna - Lost Spring" exhibition at CUT ART is in collaboration with the charity
organization Choose Love.
The charity Choose Love is a global movement putting compassion into action, providing
everything from lifesaving search and rescue boats to food and legal assistance. Choose
Love ensures that help reaches those who need it most, when they need it most. Since
2015, they have been working with local partners in over 50 countries, delivering emergency
aid and life-changing support to displaced communities with incredible speed and impact. To
date, they’ve raised millions to support refugees, responding to crises with urgency and
humanity. With more than 122 million people forcibly displaced worldwide—almost half of
them children—Choose Love’s work is more vital than ever. They are not just providing aid;
they are building a world that chooses love for everyone.
Supported by S. Holding, the “Red Square” residential complex is being developed on
the banks of the Daugava River in Riga. The project features stylish lofts with panoramicviews, a sports center, office spaces, and a landscaped waterfront, seamlessly blending
comfort, aesthetics, and a healthy lifestyle.
We invite you to be part of this unique dialogue between art and life, destruction and rebirth,
silence and expression.
