Stargate is the “opening piece” of the exhibition Perspective of the Solar System.

The exhibition presents a multifaceted perspective of cosmic phenomena and their representation in the medium of art. It will adress interfaces between art/
sience and artistic universes/ utopias. On show will be contemporary art from the Baltic States as well as works from the museum`s collection, such as, for  example, by Gustavs Klucis, one of the outstanding artists of Russian Constructivism.

A narrow, walk-on strip of carpet traverses the building’s imposing entrance hall between two opposite flights of stairs. Silver mirror foil has been stuck to the
handrails of the stairways—one leads directly to the exhibition, while the other leads to the office wing of the building. The strip of carpet continues on each of
the upper landings. On one side, it ends in a vertical, fragmented length of carpet at the access door to the office wing. In the exhibition itself, the carpet runs
vertically to the ceiling, only to abruptly end just below an electrical strip in the lighting system.

Material:  black carpet, silver mirror foil stuck to the handrails
