Celebration of life and creation 2016-05-20
What defines the art of one or the other epoch? Style, location, era? What gives an artwork its physical shape; what draws that unique contour, which will be impossible to repeat in the future? An artist? Unfortunately not. Art styles, movements and branches are much more than the activities of like-minded artists.
Julija Pociūtė, "I am only interested in the moment of reality; reality experienced in various aspects" 2016-05-12
Although J. Pociūtė often uses glass to express her ideas, she treats it conceptually. Artist is interested in the semantics of material, the connotations it emanates and aims at exposing it in her works. We are talking with the author about the topics she analyzes in her work - change, death, transience, memory and connections between them that reveal themselves in her works presented at the exhibitions.
Auris Radzevičius, "To get off the ego capsule and open up to infinity" 2016-05-02
Auris Radzevičius is a striking, controversial and multifaceted personality; his work is difficult to describe in clear, unambiguous terms. We have met to talk about spaces and skulls, freedom and reality with A. Radzevičius in his creative studio located in the attic of his home.
Art spells 2016-04-22
April is probably the busiest month in galleries and museums. Currently, upon visiting Kaunas galleries one can see jubilee, retrospective and quite magical phenomena; one can dive into meditation, look for light in the shadows, re-read the fairy tales, look at Kaunas from a different angle or get acquainted with art from another country.
Painting in an expanded field 2016-04-15
Basically, all the exhibition objects or their constellations are images of P. Ramanauskas and R. Sorakaitė's every day and domestic life, which, according to the artists, are haunting their work, raising questions and insisting on continuous listening. By embodying these images in matter and searching for the "significant form" that befits them artists seek to at least partially expose the entity dormant inside them.
Curator K. Stanislawski, "Polish and Lithuanian contemporary art is powerful and interesting" 2016-03-31
If you ever had an idea to get acquainted with contemporary Polish art, at least a little bit, there is a great opportunity for that - Torun Center for Contemporary Art Signs of Time are exhibiting its art collection abroad for the first time. And for that, they chose Kaunas, Lithuania.
Month of March in the galleries of Kaunas 2016-03-29
"I was astonished and after that / I welcomed spring", writes poet Donaldas Kajokas in one of his poems. The abundance and variety of exhibitions taking place in March also astonishes - from the ones looking back at the classic painting school or the topic of war to philosophical, or the ones that celebrate the female beauty in painting.
The aim of rethinking the continuity of time and history and the importance and sacredness of the cloth 2016-03-29
M. Žaltauskaitė-Grašienė's exhibition Attire hosted in Pažaislis, presents the works comprised of three series about women: nymph (Penelope), saint (Virgin Mary) and queen (Victoria). The drapes carved in all of these sculptures are re-weaved by the artist and brought back to the shape of fabric.
A never-ending glow 2016-03-24
Although it has become increasingly difficult to believe in something absolutely sacred, to believe in your fellow man, a utopian world of joy, harmony and goodness, graphic artist Birutė Stančikaitė still believes in that and lives it. Artist's exhibition Light in the dark at the National Art Gallery is an incentive or rather a friendly invitation to discover that magical particle that eventually turns our days, months and years into Life.
