Paper reCollection
Anna Malicka
14/11 – 20/12/2025
B: Klau, A, what do you think — what does paper remember? Maybe it remembers being a tree once? Or maybe it wasn’t a tree at all — maybe it was a Kellogg’s cereal box, a ballot paper, or Ikea chair packaging… Maybe you remember what the paper remembers by giving it new forms?
A: hmm i think paper doesn’t remember it was a tree, unless it could somehow see its past lives. but that’s like comparing human existence to a structure that has nothing to do with it, and yet it’s exactly the human who made paper, so we could become the kind of humans we are. right now i’m diving into this space where human meets material or immaterial, and relationships form. sometimes i let the material write itself, and sometimes i let myself write the material.
B: And what happens when we step into the exhibition?
A: in this exhibition i dive into the manipulation, transformation of paper. paper is so tukšs, so tabula rasa, pieticīgs materiāls! & we are *cuntifying it ;))))) * no pieticīgs 2 elegance, paper gets sewn, folded, rubbed, crumpled, carved, transferred;;; it’s a spiritual experience coz i put the energy of my lil fingers and the emotional too —

it’s a collection of memories / fragments / recollections, a fashion collection bouncing off the xperience of this season & reacting to trinketz, phrases gathered so far in my pouch.
B:Take in your hands everything i have,
Turn nights into white dust.
a: i’d also call it paper architecture, which i first found in the NSRD book, where the blue lagoon house is defined as paper architecture — architecture too dreamy for the order of the physical world, so it stays on paper. that’s also where the unreal estate agency grows its legs — where the created elements are renders of real structures made from soft material. but this exhibition isn’t much about physical space, it’s about a fantasy institution, in this case the contemporary artist as paper fashion illustrator, and the product is the fashion illustration imaginary artefact. u could also say i’m both inside & outside the fashion bubble. since these are just drawings, not clothes u wear on live fucking flesh — it’s paper fashion, it’s papīra mode —

Anna Malicka (1995, LV) is a multimedia artist who forms drawing, textile, installation, text and audiovisual content. At the core of Malicka’s practice is the handicraft process, from which imaginary spaces and tactile zones for noisy self-reflection are rendered.

She graduated from the interdisciplinary department POST at the Art Academy of Latvia (2023) and in 2024, as part of the ACADEMIA prize, was a resident in London as part of the ACME Studios Early Career programme. 2025 Linstow Art Award laureate. Her most recent exhibitions include: the solo shows Dowry Chest (((pure lady))) at Kim?
