On 14 February, Latvian public media, in cooperation with the Rietumu Bank Charity Fund, presented the ‘Kilogram of Culture’ awards from inside the Splendid Palace cinema. At the official ceremony significant events in Latvian culture received awards in nine nominations. The award winners received gilded weights and a bonus from the Rietumu Bank Charity Fund. As the main event for the last year the jury announced the ‘You’ve Got 1243 Unread Messages’ exhibition by the Latvian Contemporary Art Centre.
This is a memorial exhibition - it presents works of the young artist, whose life ended so tragically during the collapse of a shopping centre in Riga in 2013.
