Event description
For several years now, the artistic activities of both authors have been linked to Kaunas Žaliakalnis from time to time. On the one hand, it is just a geographical location, one of the many places I have to visit. However, being here, as rarely as anywhere, the context becomes a particularly important, inevitable participant of the creative process. Therefore, in the end, both artists were united by one intention - to dedicate the exhibition to this context, to the Žaliakalnis Savascha. The first venue of the exhibition was planned to be in Žaliakalnis itself, on Owl Hill, at the "Temporary M. K. Čiurlionis Art Gallery". The exhibition spaces on the second floor of the building are connected to the outside by huge skylights, through which the tops of old trees can be seen against the sky, a view that, if you turn your head, could have been seen here 1 000 years ago. The architecture of the gallery also suggested the idea of linking the exhibition to the metaphor of a cave, inviting us to rethink the reality behind the blind walls. The authors of the exhibition are like two narrators, representing non-existent windows to the audience. The exhibition is an invitation to see the exhibition as a search for something hidden in screens, in memory, in objects, in light, or in places that are beyond their reach. The exhibition will be on view at Meno parkas Gallery (27 Rotušės a. 27, Kaunas) until 15 December.
