Living Ornament
Atletika Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its spring exhibition, Living Ornament.
‘Candles, cushions and vases do really well in times when money is tight’. As Emily Gordon-Smith (head of fashion at the consultancy Stylus) observed, the legacy of the 2008 financial crisis can be felt in the boom in affordable homeware products in shops like H&M Home, Zara Home etc. Gordon-Smith was also making a point about how ornament and decoration are not only symptoms of changing social, cultural and economic relations but also the agents used to negotiate and reconfigure them. From this perspective, the exhibition Living Ornament takes decorating and ornament seriously, asking why they have been and continue to be simultaneously dismissed as frivolous and condemned as dangerous.

Laurynas Skeisgiela: Mažo miestelio mirties melodijos
Atvykstame temstant. Įsijungiame infraredinį šildytuvą ir plėvele užklijuojame būsimų durų angą. Anksčiau čia veikė kepykla. Pirmajame jos aukšte persipynę sudegusio cukraus ir pelėsio kvapai. Slidinėdami ant blizgančio, nevalytų riebalų paviršiaus tiesiame laidus. Čia bus koncertų salė. Limpančių prailgintuvų mazgas nutiestas laiptais aukštyn jungia dar keturias projekcijas. Dėl tvyrančio šalčio bei laiko stokos viską nešame sujungę kartu. Aštriais spinduliais pulsuojantis koridorius kupinas šviesos pluošte skraidančių dulkių, galimybių ir svetimų sapnų.

Plants, Mushrooms and Language. A Walk–Lecture with philosopher Vilius Dranseika
When philosopher John L. Austin was asked whether we should be talking about Gregor Samsa, the character of Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”, as about a human with a beetle body or as about a beetle with human memories and consciousness, he replied as follows: “Neither one nor the other. We should not feel like we knew how to talk about it. In such situations in particular we say “words trick us” and we mean what we say. We should feel a need for new words. Old words would simply not fit. They would not supposed to be used in such situations.”

Atkirtis kompromisui. Roberto Narkaus performansas
Esame visuomenė, kurioje gebėjimas susitarti yra labai vertinamas, nors dažnai tai veda į status quo, štilį, galios pusiausvyrą, tereiškiančią progresyviai augančią politinę įtampą, klimato kaitą, socialinę neteisybę.

CYBER-ATHLETE. One Video Piece Exhibition by Vitalij Červiakov and Danutė Gambickaitė
Film “Cyber-Athlete“ reconsiders the concepts of cyber-athletics and e-sports. How is computer game culture and virtuality altering human body? What are the new features of a (cyber) athletic body? How are they developed? How are they influencing the notion of athletic body and sex. Where else could such cyber-athletic body be used? And, finally, how do our bodies and consciousness manage to synchronise with computer game technology?

A Situation Which Resists Completion
How is it that the present fails to keep up with the presence of the past, not perceiving its living. In such moments, where our perception is clouded by dullness, a ghost of the past appears in disguise, thereby inducing a misreading of a situation at hand. It is in this manner that the future shies away from happening. The frustration lies at a miscarriage of the past. This <<historical miscarriage>> turns into a vehicle for the demolishment of a possible authentic history. Thus, giving birth to newly misshapen forms of an invisible history, which in parallel, runs the risk of appearing as a crooked present ‘reality.’
