SHERLOCK HOLMES SCULPTURE PRESENTATION

July 26 was a special day for Riga’s “Sherlock”. You already know, and the name of the hotel tells it, what our story is about. It is so fascinating and beloved, like its protagonist that we took a decision to enrich it with a new chapter. Riga and Sherlock Holmes have been long interchained in a creative and cinematographic way. The hotel owners made their contribution to this long-standing union and impressed the city with a new art object – the sculpture of the great detective. The author of the work is the Russian sculptor and graphic artist Oleg Zakomorny, Honored Artist of Russia, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Arts.

We are sure that this sculptural composition will become one of the favorite sights for Riga residents and guests, and, possibly, a pilgrimage destination for the Sherelokians from all over the world. Anyway, already now tourists cannot pass by our Sherlock so as not to touch (and literally too!) our history.

ALEXEI CHAYKASOV EXHIBITION

Our hotel hosted the opening of the exhibition by Alexei Chaykasov, a participant of plenty of international and Russian exhibitions, a member of the Moscow branch of the Artists Union of Russia. The works presented were united by a common classy idea, and the exhibition had the name symbolic for Sherlock – THE WOMAN. Probably you remember that is how the famous detective named the incomparable adventurer Irene Adler he had a special attitude to. The event turned out to be intimate, cozy and exciting for connoisseurs of contemporary painting. Once again we got convinced that our hotel is a perfect place for unique art projects.

DISCONNECTING CONNECTION

We are always ready to open our hotel doors of our hotel for unique art projects. We got acquainted with the fascinating photographer Al Lapkovsky, who is now working over his conceptual photo project “Disconnecting Connection”. Several works from the series were shot in our hotel. And we are happy to be a part of this meaningful event.

We are disappearing, cease to exist. We can’t imagine our lives without the blue screens. We are bombarded with news, updates and statuses. We’ve got thousands of friends and yet we’re alone. We are semi-transparent, lost in the blue light of useless information flow and a fake feeling of belonging. The main goal of this art project is to illustrate how we keep disconnected from the reality and thus loosing key life values… Let’s value the real life. Do not disappear. There is so much beauty around us.

DANCING CODE

Latvian National Opera and Ballet is one of the favorite theatres of Riga inhabitants and guests. You don’t need to speak Italian for enjoying the opera. And the language of classical and modern dance has no national or linguistic boundaries. And yet there is always an enigma in the dance – the code you are eager to spell out. We invited an elegant couple, the principle of the Latvian National Ballet Victoria Jansone and its soloist Alexander Osadchy, to dance this enigma in our Suite room with the symbolic name “Dancing Code”.
