Līga Spunde (b. 1990, Riga) is known for her richly narrative and emotionally charged installations that fuse digital aesthetics with speculative fiction, autobiography, and psychological inquiry. A graduate of the Art Academy of Latvia (BA 2014, MA 2016) and former student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (In Situ3, 2015), Spunde’s work frequently explores the fragile boundaries between perception and reality, often rendered in digital prints, video, and sculptural environments.
Her graduation project The Hike was named one of the top three emerging projects in Europe, and she has since exhibited internationally, with recent shows at TUR (LV), Publiek Park (BE), MMCA Changdong (KR), SLU Contemporary Art Gallery (USA), KINGS ARI (AUS), Tuesday to Friday (ES), MO Museum (LT), and Garage in Rotterdam (NL). She has participated in several international residencies, including the MMCA Changdong Residency (Seoul) and ISCP (New York).
Twice nominated for the prestigious Purvītis Prize and a recipient of the Kim? Contemporary Art Centre Residency Award (2023), Spunde’s works are held in public and private collections including the Latvian National Museum of Art, the Zuzāns Collection, VV Foundation and TAAD Foundation.
