Event description
Presenting a series of photographs, haiku on film, stained glass and ceramic works, a vinyl album of experimental music, texts and performative actions, it is like an ever-changing immersive experience created out of what was. Out of what was, above all, defines the past time, whose different reflections in Andriuškevičius's interdisciplinary work can be relentlessly scanned. This includes flirting with real and fictional (but not fantastic, but alive on a piece of paper) bohemian characters, a bridge to the aesthetics of the 1960s, and the accompanying feeling as if we were wandering through old basements and antique dumps, where time-tested and magic-recording inclusions are hidden. So, out of what has been, we also define a certain space, indefinite in time and very physical, whose resources were used to create something. Between these two meanings, two forces - the bees and the river, the oscillating details and the boundaries that disappear in change, the two floors of the exhibition, connected by the cave-bridge-stairlift of the unconscious. The exhibition begins as a buzzing of wings around a centred silence. The strip photography leaves graphic marks in the uneven slopes of the screwed-in time over 30 seconds. It is the ½ stop that is the basic rule of photography, hiding something in the moment but keeping its life, the buzz of people, objects and light. It's a bee-like existence, observing the cleanly wiped layers of illusion, pulling at the honeycomb frames, illuminated by a light orange and predictably fading away. It's easy to feel the end of death, of the world and of the fluttering species as you step in, but light follows light and at the end of it you hear the words - for this world I have a special plan. The gallery of the Marija and Jurgis Šlapeliai House-Museum (Pilies st. 40, Vilnius) will be open until 28 April.
