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) suggests in this quote, 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.

Media Symposium “Diet vs. Feast”: Vegeta Congress 2020

If you could imagine yourself as a dietologist, what diet would you suggest? And if by any chance you would position yourself as a media harmonist – what would be your advise on how to balance out one’s media consumption?

During this symposium emerging artists, designers, architects and theoreticians will reconsider media via the concept of “diet”. To what extent could this concept be productive in the light of analysing the consumption of media and the process of generating media.

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

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?
