Kalad\u016b, kalad\u016b \u2013 a familiar Christmas mummers\u2019 refrain which originates in songs from Latgale and eastern Vidzeme. But the word comes originally from the Latin word calendae. Kalad\u016b songs are known by all of the Eastern European peoples, and the Slavs particularly, have a great many. The spread of Kalad\u016b songs in Latvia, as well, allows one to speak of traditional annual folklore as one of the most direct examples of Latvian and Slavic folklore\u2019s interaction. Kalad\u016b can mean anything which is connected with the winter solstice \u2013 mummery, nine foods on the table, eating one\u2019s fill and the giving of presents.<\/p>\n

The Kalad\u016b installation here is an original ancient message in a modern interpretation, which symbolizes the exaggerated consumer cult in modern society. In the installation, the \u201cmagic glutton\u201d is portrayed in his uninterrupted activity, symbolizing the continuity of the rhythm of life \u2013 \u201ccreation through gorging\u201d.<\/p>\n
