Visual identity of Riga Contemporary by Dans Jirgensons and Pauls Rietums

This week, from July 10 to 13, Riga will host the inaugural Riga Contemporary art fair organised by the Kim? Contemporary Art Centre in collaboration with Riga City Council. The event will feature works by local and international artists, with a special focus on art institutions in Riga, the Baltic States, and Scandinavia. The visual identity of the event, created by designers Dans Jirgensons and Pauls Rietums, plays on the round stickers traditionally used at art events to mark sold works.
