VGW program: Speculative guided boat tour “You should learn to look at the empty shore” on the Neris River with Tata Frenkel.

Speculative guided boat tour “You should learn to look at the empty shore” on the Neris River with Tata Frenkel.

Start of the tour location: Embankment of King Mindaugas Bridge

The tour guide’s embellished words, the meanders of rivers cut by heavy traffic and the marks of time landed down on the patterns of our city. Perhaps the origins of the history of every big city lie in its rivers. Do they protect, provide or hinder? How does it feel to be a riverbank that is daily trampled by indifferent passers-by?

VGW program: Dance Performance “Cracks”

“Cracks” starts from the dystopia caused by being alone. Yet, the person cannot manage to stay ‘one’. Being cracked and multiple, the person hides one’s complexity and so violates oneself. Scratching one’s robustness, one meets oneself striving to relate.

The person lays down on the ground. The rain is falling on one’s cheeks. The wind is in the branches above one’s head. One starts to feel an overwhelming desire to relate with oneself and other living and dead humans, places, animals, plants and seasons.

VGW program: “Ssshhh! No Fun At The Seated Discotheque”. Screening of Artūras Barysas-Baras films with curators Lijana Siuchina and David Elis.

Ironic creative practice defying prevailing social and aesthetic norms, bohemian lifestyle, crazy hairstyles. Artūras Barysas-Baras – legendary personality of Vilnius art scene, director of experimental films, vocalist of the avant-garde music group “Ir Visa Tai Kas Yra Gražu Yra Gražu”. Barysas’ short films, full of exuberant creative energy, are a unique testimony to the experimental film culture of the late Soviet era. The programme also includes a newly discovered and scandalous erotic film.
