Situated in the middle of Riga’s old town, between Swiss and medieval-themed restaurants, Supernova is the only artists space in Riga - even after the abrupt breakdown of the public art funding system - to follow a transparent curated programme free of compromise and the requisite souvenir shop. Concentrating mainly on singular artists and with determined ambition, Supernova attempts to initiate a discussion on contemporary art by integrating itself within the international art discourse.
