Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists\u2019 Association (LIAA) ends the year with the introduction of a new series of small-format publications \u201cOne idea\u201d.<\/p>\n
The main idea and principle of the series – one notebook, one artist, one idea that can manifest itself in different forms each time: as notes of ideas, fragments of thoughts, various forms of self-reflection, pulled out from long-forgotten drawers, computer hard drives or right out of artists\u2019 heads.<\/p>\n
The series will be launched as two publications. The first one will introduce an essay \u201cEmptiness Examination\u201d by an essayist, art critic, storyteller Ernestas Parulskis (b. 1963). With his usual wit he tells a story about the experience of being an \u201cexpert in emptiness\u201d. The second publication of the series is a surreal collage \u201cBreathing Silence\u201d by a contemporary art creator, director, set designer Gintaras Makarevi\u010dius (b. 1965). This collage creates an immersive plane of dismantled space, time, reality and dream that speaks about love, intimacy and connection. Both texts convey a kind of internal revision.<\/p>\n
According to art critic and exhibition curator Jolanta Marci\u0161auskyt\u0117-Jura\u0161ien\u0117, editor of \u201eOne idea\u201c notebooks: \u201cBoth E. Parulskis’ and G. Makarevi\u010dius’ texts are very different, but both are autobiographical and niche, intended primarily for themselves, but also perfectly understood in the field of culture. The rest of the world would not die of pain if those publications continued to dust in the drawer or had not been written at all. When we say \u201cI have an idea,\u201d we immediately realize that it won\u2019t necessarily be genius or needed by anyone. And who decided that all ideas must be useful, adaptable, embodied? I wanted to see this series of ideas from individual artists as a disinterested, personal, and authentic set of not-so-important, unnecessary ideas that would become more and more interesting over the years, involving more and more artists\u201c.<\/p>\n
The publication will be available via www.artbooks.lt in February.<\/p>\n
