In 2025, the Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association (LIAA) commissioned one of its members, art critic, artist, and curator Aist\u0117 Kisarauskait\u0117, to conduct research on the organization’s archival materials. The result of this research is a text she wrote entitled “Homelessness and the Fragmented LIAA Archive,” which serves as a fragmentary narrative of the history of the LIAA from its founding nearly thirty years ago to the present day, as far as the union’s physical documents can be traced.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kisarauskait\u0117’s research is based on physical documents (collected and preserved in boxes, which were moved from one place to another for a long time (1997\u20132013) due to the lack of a permanent headquarters) as well as the researcher’s personal connections, acquaintances, memories, and interpretations. These provide an opportunity to return to the works, art events, and their authors from a period when many of the works shown at public events remained undocumented and their authorship unnamed. In addition to what is recorded in the text, there is room for other memories, interpretations, documents not included in it, printed and verbal testimonies of events, if any arise while reading this archival text.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea to explore the LIAA archive arose while considering the accumulation and storage of members’ artworks. During meetings with members, the association identified their need for a physical space where their works could be stored. In search of ways to meet this need, LIAA has been developing the concept of the association\u2019s archive. The idea of the archive was developed not only as physical storage of works. It was developed as a growing repository of ideas, constructed in time-resistant verbal, visual, audio, and other forms, thinking not only about the past but also about the future, seeking new opportunities and experimental solutions, with LIAA seeing itself as a community. Therefore, the archive space is not only a repository of memory, but also a repository of visions projected into the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Archive researcher Aist\u0117 Kisarauskait\u0117 is an art critic, artist, curator, and founder of the Trivium gallery. In 2024, she was awarded a doctorate in art. In 2025, Kisarauskait\u0117 was awarded in the artist’s texts category at the Visual Art Criticism Awards. One of her areas of focus is the art processes of the last decade of the 20th century. Kisarauskait\u0117 has published several articles on this topic, reconstructing the exhibitions and events of that period, and the Trivium gallery has presented a series of exhibitions dedicated to this topic (Jurga Barilait\u0117, Audrius Novickas, Or\u016bn\u0117 Mork\u016bnait\u0117, Gediminas Akstinas, Darius \u017di\u016bra, Dainius Li\u0161kevi\u010dius, Linas Liandzbergis and D\u017eiugas Katinas, Karla Gruodis, and others).<\/span><\/p>\n
