ABOUT THE PROJECT

Daiga Grantina’s solo exhibition What eats around itself  is the third commission from the on-going series of collaboration between Kvadrat and New Museum. South into North established this partnership in 2017 and is an active partner in developing each project, in close dialogue with New Museum team.

Daiga Grantina has created a new sculptural installation interweaving textile with casted silicone and paint.

The exhibition´s title references the dynamic growth of lichen, a composite organism that results from the symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. In developing her material processes, Grantina draws inspiration from linchen´s many adaptive qualities like coexisting and sel-replication.
