The expression "office space" is a stable part of everyday conversation. Many in society forms similar notions, what office space means as a visual and atmospheric medium. The space in Goethe Institute of Riga within the project "Share and exchange" program is offered to artists in all genres of contemporary art and active persons working in the cultural sphere, civil society to accomplish innovative projects. This space in a way is an office space.
The idea of the project "Modulation" is to transform the space in Goethe Institute of Riga, which for daily visitors of the institution serve as a transition point to get to the study rooms. The project invited artists, who with their artwork creates a change in the perception of space. The change is achieved by shift or including a certain physical factors – the smell, the color, the sound, or the air flow – in an artwork. Thus is asked the question – what consequences are expected, if the space functionality is modified? The habit, the harmony and the balance varies as defiant exhibition ground: do the hurried visitors of the Institute stop in the area, noticing a new temptation represented in moving vibrations and visual expression?
Space transformation as environmental perception dynamics is achieved focusing on the exhibited artworks, which as the receptors affects passerby feelings and senses, giving space new meaning, features and character. The space becomes multiple, hybrid and inconsistent, to some extent – also unpredictable. A new look and image is created for the classical hall; the structure that reveals a new perspective and dimension.
Selected artworks, most of which are newly-created, stimulates reflection on human walking rhythm mutations giving impulse to take a step away from the daily stream. The traditionally neutral artwork presentation becomes an active intermediary set. The contemplation process of myself is important,when space becomes a laboratory; appears the possibility of an analysis for unprecedented senses, if let to interact with an artwork structure.
Thinking about mutual duality relationship analysis between the object and space, information and emotional foresight, irritation and perception, observation and participation, rhythm and flow, feeling is achieved not only at the level of body sensations, but also as a quest of awareness and involvement in the process. The exhibition based on the form of the artwork communication and dialogue creates an atmosphere in the space, which is simultaneously psychological, social, intellectual and visual.

Vārdu salikums biroja telpa ir stabila mūsu ikdienas sarunvalodas sastāvdaļa, kas pat neprasa komentārus. Mums visiem ir samērā līdzīgi priekšstati, ko biroja telpa nozīmē vizuālā un arī atmosfēras ziņā. Arī Gētes institūta Rīgā telpa, kas projekta „Dalīties un mainīties“ ietvaros tiek piedāvāta visu žanru māksliniekiem un aktīvām personām, kas darbojas kultūras un pilsoniskās sabiedrības sfērā, lai realizētu inovatīvus projektus, savā ziņā ir biroja telpa. Mākslas izstāde “Modulācija” šo biroja telpu transformēs mākslas telpā. Vai izdosies?
Izstādes iekārtojums tiks veidots sadarbībā ar arhitektu un māksliniekiem. Telpai tiks radīts jauns veidols, jauna elpa, jauns tēls, to pārveidojot par mākslas telpu, kurā apmeklētāji un garāmgājēji varēs pamanīt jaunu perspektīvu. Skatītājs varēs vērot savstarpējās dualitātes attiecības starp procesu – es kā skatītājs/apmeklētājs un mākslas darbs.
Izstādes mērķis ir nojaukt biroja telpas tēlu un atmosfēru ar arhitektūras un mākslas līdzekļu palīdzību. Jaunā telpa stimulēs refleksiju par cilvēka iešanas ritma izmaiņām, sniedzot impulsu jaunai videi, paejot soli nost no ikdienas plūsmas. Tas nozīmē, ka svarīgs būs sevis vērošanas process – kas ar mani notiek tad, kad mainās receptori – smarža, vēja plūsma, krāsa utt. Būtībā telpa sāks pildīt laboratorijas funkcijas, tas ir, tajā parādīsies iespēja pētniecībai – jaunu sajūtu pētniecībai, kas tiks panākta ar sinerģiju starp mākslas darbu formu un izvietojumu telpā. Izstāde centīsies pārskatīt attiecības starp objektu un telpu, tekstu un attēlu, informāciju un emocionālu nojausmu, kairinājumu (smarža, vēja plūsma) un uztveri. Izstāde aicina ikvienu būt atvērtam notiekošajā. Ar savu formu un veidu izstāde skatītāju ievirzīs telpā, kas vienlaicīgi ir psiholoģiska, sociāla, intelektuāla un ideoloģiska telpa. Izstādē mijiedarbosies divaās radošās nozares - māksla un arhitektūra, kuras papildinās dejas un mūzikas nozares.
