"...Another standout, the most inventive and most fully sculptural work in Building Structures, both formally and in terms of making the physical character of materials expressive, was newcomer Karlis Rekevics's installation in plaster and wood. A casual-seeming stack of plaster slabs, some unexpectedly swollen and notched vertical walls, and a couple of strategically placed light bulbs became a metaphorical distillation of the least romantic aspects of urban place, transformed by a simultaneously sensuous, rough material palette. Rekevics is someone to watch with attention."
