The authors of the exhibition, Paulina Vasiliauskaitė and Žilvinas Baranauskas, are two opposing personalities working in different disciplines. Thus, the exhibition intertwines parallel perspectives that meet in the present: a sense of nostalgia echoing from the past and anxiety about the fate of the myth. One, anxiously looking towards the future, while the other, possessed by a morbid longing, observes the fragments of the past that have settled in memory. In the exhibition, the young artists speak to tradition, reflecting on different historical periods and ideologies, exploring the intangible ephemerality of time, the cultural and personal clouds of memory. Materiality becomes a state of in-betweenness. In the authors' works, there is a continuous transformation from void to space, from space to physical matter. Physical surfaces dissolve, and what is translucent is filled with inexhaustible depths (volumes). The exhibited objects become self-reflexive tools, capturing the weight of the inevitable present. The exhibition will be on view at the Meno Niša Gallery (J. Basanavičiaus g. 1/13, Vilnius) until 22 March.
