This time, the artist gives the audience the opportunity to create the history of Vilnius by borrowing clues from his works. The witty fragments of stories in the paintings, prints, cut-outs, objects and puzzles on display will encourage you to engage in a playful process of creation - to move the parts or details you like, arrange them in your own way, to sit down at the stamp table. The new exhibition of K. Grigaliūnas is also important in the broader context of the author's work. In recent decades, Grigaliūnas has devoted much of his creative energy to artistic research on the tragic events of the post-war period, the history of the deportation and genocide of our nation. He has organised a number of memorable exhibitions based on the study of archival material, and has published several books, thus encouraging reflection not only on contemporary art strategies, but also on our personal experience. Meanwhile, in his educational exhibitions, Grigaliūnas once again updates the principles of Neopopop Art and Fluxus, creating objects characterised by subtle irony and the paradoxical universality of everyday situations. The Pamėnkalnio Gallery (Pamėnkalnio g. 1, Vilnius) will be open until 29 October.
