The project "BIOSPORT Inc." - a colorful and widely accessible public event
- is being conceived as a string of art exhibition, environmental
installations and musical events and will take place in Riga, Latvia from
the 31st of May to 9th of June. The aim of the project is to demonstrate
particular parallels that exist between contemporary, dance music
tendencies, current fashion and industrial design as well as  individual
video art directions. This is the second largest art-project organized by
non-profit art-management-bureau "DUO future + art" after the music and
environmental installation project "OPEN", which took place in Riga last
autumn and engage a high level of attention between those having interest in
contemporary art and rave-culture tendencies.

"BIOSPORT Inc." will include both a contemporary art exhibition and
non-traditional video events in conjunction with electronic mass media,
fashion shows, multimedia rave-parties featuring well known European DJs,
ambient and easy-listening-music chill-out rooms. The project's basic
structural principle is to present contemporary art with the temperament and
dynamics of current life style and within the context of trend-culture
actualities.

The invited artists, video directors, fashion designers and DJs from Riga,
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Stockholm and London are either individual
forerunners or foremost representatives of spicy sub-, trend, club- or other
socio-cultural movements. Especially worthy of note are "Novije Compositori"
- the best known Russian techno-band from St. Petersburg, Vladik
Mamishev-Monro - the leading "drag-queen" and performance artist of Moscow`s
club-culture, environmental installation artists Olegs Tilbergs (the winner
of ARS FENNICA award in 1994) and Mikelis Fishers (well known after his
solo-exhibition "Sex`n`SpaceShips" in 1995, Riga), the "Ptjuch-club" DJs
Maksim Zorkin and Ivan Salmaksov, DJ Janis Krauklis from Riga - the "first
Soviet techno DJ" and a participant of the first rave-party in Soviet Union
"Gagarin party".

All events connected with the project will take place in the center of the
city in a five store building, which was formerly the workshop of the
cosmetics company "Dzintars" (41, Lacplesu Street) and is vacant now.

The opening times of the exhibition as well as the beginning of all the
special events are similar to those of the rave-parties.
The visitors of the project are welcome Fridays' and Saturdays' nights on
the 31st of May and 1st, 7th, 8th of June starting from 10.30. p.m.
