OPEN CALL - MEETING IN ART
Meeting in Art - Satikšanās mākslā
🗓️ 11.-20. novembris, Minstere
Aicinu Latvijas māksliniekus piedalīties grupas izstādē “Meeting in Art - Satikšanās mākslā”, kas notiks no 11. līdz 20. novembrim Minsterē, Vācijā.
Šī izstāde ir radīta kā intīma telpa dialogam starp mākslu un skatītāju. Vieta ir īpaša - Romantiskas un šarmantas Minsteres vecpilsētas galerija, kur katrs mākslas darbs iegūs savu balsi un klātbūtni. Telpa ir ierobežota, tādēļ katra mākslinieka dalība būs pārdomata un vērtīga.
Šoreiz fokusējamies tieši uz Latvijas māksliniekiem - lai kopīgu veidotu mūsu radošo stāstu un dalītos tajā ar plašāku auditoriju. Tā ir iespēja piedalīties nozīmīgā mākslas notikumā brīnišķīgā vidē, kur tiek lolots tuvums, kvalitāte un īsts satikšanās prieks.
Pieteikšanās ir atvērta līdz 30.septembrim!
Ja vēlies piedalīties, sūti ziņu vai aizpildi pieteikuma formu - https://forms.gle/GrMU7adz6iGyYLPc8
“Between Two Suns” Exhibition in Panevėžys
In July and August 2025, my collaborative exhibition “Between Two Suns” was displayed at the Panevėžys Creativity Centre in Lithuania. This exhibition, created in partnership with Ethiopian artist Kirubel Melke, explores the intersection of our cultural backgrounds through art. I work with recycled paper to create delicate, light-infused forms, while Kirubel uses textile to continue his African heritage. Together, we address global and political themes, seeking aesthetic expression and dialogue between our cultures. The exhibition represents the differences between two suns, highlighting the contrasts between different cultures.Panevėžys Now

“Light with a Second Chance” — Featured in Diena.lv
In an interview with Diena.lv, I share the journey behind my brand, 0design, and how I transform recycled paper into unique lamps inspired by Latvian nature. After years in the entertainment industry, I sought a path that aligned with my values. Inspired by a transformative pilgrimage, I embraced the idea of creating something meaningful from discarded materials. Using paper scraps from local print shops, I craft lamps that not only illuminate spaces but also tell a story of sustainability and creativity.

Art Born in a Blender: Sustainable Lighting Design
In this Jauns.lv video, I share my process of creating unique lamps from recycled paper. Using a blender, I transform discarded paper into pulp, which I then shape into designs inspired by nature.
For me, this work is not only about aesthetics — it’s about giving new life to materials, exploring sustainability, and creating objects that carry both beauty and meaning.

Light with a Second Chance — Iveta Trence on YouTube
In this YouTube video, I share my journey as an artist and my approach to sustainable design. I talk about how I moved from the creative industry to working with recycled materials, especially paper.
My work is not only about aesthetics — it is also about giving new life to discarded materials and reflecting on sustainability and our relationship with nature. Using paper scraps from print studios, I create unique lamps inspired by elements of Latvian nature, turning what was once waste into objects of beauty and purpose.

Exhibition ‘Between Two Suns’ in Latvijas Radio
In the Media
Recently, Latvijas Radio created a piece about my joint exhibition “Between Two Suns”, held at the Institute of Design for Quality of Life “Viskaļi” in Čiekurkalns.
The exhibition is a dialogue between my work with recycled paper and textures, and the vibrant textile collages of Ethiopian artist Kirubel Melke. Although we come from very different cultures, our meeting at the Karosta Festival in Liepāja revealed many shared ideas — especially in how we both explore the use of recycled materials.
