Opening of the exhibition of the artist and illustrator Jūratė Stauskaitė.
Reading of Tomas Sakalauskas' "Čakona: the mountains of the sands beyond the sea, and the visions of XXX".
Dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the book.
The friendship and love story of Jurate Stauskaite and Tomas Sakalauskas cannot be described succinctly, but this bond is reflected in their joint work - a book that, according to Jurate, is little known, even though it could be regarded as the pinnacle of his oeuvre.
"He had a sixth sense about culture and art, although he studied art history and musicology independently, which was not directly related to his work as a writer, essayist and journalist. We had some very uplifting moments together when we were "working on" his big book "Chaconne", which brought us particularly close together. Tom's energy and fantastic dedication to the "material" immersed me in his world of thirty visions of the sandy seaside. My illustrations (original series technique on tin sheets) stuck to Tom's mystical stories and stayed there - never to be repeated anywhere in my visual consciousness."
Speaker Andrius Bialobžeskis, moderated by Raimonda Ravaitytė-Meyer.
