Zuzeum and Cararra invite you to a pop-up weekend at Zuzeum Living Room.
📅 23 and 24 May, during museum working hours
🎟️ Free entrance
For one weekend, Zuzeum Living Room will host a Carrara studio environment – with its characteristic materials, objects, and atmosphere. The space will feature artworks, ritual objects, steel vessels, furniture, and interior elements, all brought together into a unified setting.
This will be an opportunity to get to know Carrara’s approach more closely, through material, texture, form, and the work with space. Here, objects are not seen only as decorative items, but as part of everyday surroundings and personal experience.
Carrara is a sculptural art and object design studio founded by artist Lera Sanzharovets. In her work, she explores how space, objects, and rituals can help a person pay attention to their inner state and build a more conscious connection with themselves and their surroundings. Through form, texture, and material, she works with experiences that are not always easy to express in words.
During the pop-up weekend, Carrara studio pieces will be available for purchase, and the programme will include two special events:
Across the Table – a performance in which the tea table becomes a place of encounter with the artist, Lera. Participants are invited to sit opposite her, one at a time, and experience a calm meeting based on presence and attention.
⚫️ The event will take place on May 23, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Free admission. More information here.
Artifact of State – a somatic art practice in which participants create a personal object through breath, the body, and working with materials. This object becomes a material trace of the participant’s inner state at that specific moment.
⚫️ The event will take place on May 24, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission requires prior registration. More information here.
Carrara Pop-up is an opportunity to experience the Carrara studio environment, its objects, and its practices, and to see how form, material, and space can become a way of paying attention to oneself and the surrounding environment.
About the artist:
Lera Sanzharovets is an artist and the founder of Carrara. She graduated from the University of Latvia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in interior design and works at the intersection of art, space, and material experience. In her practice, Lera explores the intimacy between the human and the environment, treating form, texture, and object as a language of inner states. Rituals hold a special place—everyday, almost imperceptible actions through which contact with oneself, the body, and reality arises. Her works are not so much expressed as they are experienced: through tactility, rhythm, and presence.
Carrara is a studio of sculptural art and object design founded on the idea that space and objects imperceptibly shape our inner state. Carrara’s objects do not demand attention but remain nearby—becoming part of the daily rhythm and creating conditions for a pause, observation, and a subtle inner shift. At the core of the practice lies an exploration of cycles, repetitions, and changes, where each object is perceived not as a finished form, but as a living structure capable of unfolding and deepening over time alongside the person.
