Paulina Pukyt\u0117\u2019s solo exhibition It Is, In A Certain Sense, A Nightmare<\/em> will open on 9th September at the Atletika<\/em> gallery (21 Vitebsko Str., Vilnius). Exhibition tour with the artist will take place at 3 pm on Saturday, 11th September. The exhibition is part of Vilnius Gallery Weekend programme.<\/p>\n

Employing the specificity of Atletika<\/em> gallery interior \u2013 a gymnasium of a former school \u2013 Paulina Pukyt\u0117 continues her investigation of \u201cmanipulated participation\u201d and social stereotypes, with interactive installations from \u201cfound\u201d objects and videotexts from \u201cfound\u201d words. She began this artistic research two decades ago with site specific works such as Trolley Bus No.3 Named Desire<\/em> (part of \u00a0\u201cIdentification\u201d, 1999), Suspicion in the Bathroom Cabinet<\/em> (part of \u201cApartment\u201999\u201d), etc. While in her earlier works she took on social behaviour by making the private public, in this exhibition Pukyt\u0117 explores the collision of personal action and collective responsibility, collective action and personal responsibility, history and the everyday, inertia and choice, activity and passivity. What is an alternative and does it exist? What is the difference between the freedom of choice and the illusion of freedom? What does it mean to be stuck \u2013 in a place, time, identity, status, history, set of rules? How are we still post-, and how are we already others, new?<\/p>\n

Here is an entrance and\/or an exit, a monologue and\/or a dialogue, a promise of the \u201cnew tomorrow\u201d and its fake\/farcical repetition,<\/em> a soviet mental hospital window grill that makes you play an anthem \u2013 as an unavoidable(?) repetition of an innocent action. Here is a symbolic crossing of the halfway line, a mythical breaking of the vessels, and the trembling crystal that naturally travelled from \u201cindependent\u201d to \u201csoviet\u201d and again to \u201cindependent\u201d shelves \u2013 as (im)possibility of the new and as trivial lightness of repetition of \u201cgentle\u201d aggression.<\/em><\/p>\n

Paulina Pukyt\u0117, artist, writer, curator and cultural commentator, was born in Vilnius. She studied at the Vilnius Academy of Arts and the Royal College of Art in London. She lives and works in London and Vilnius. She makes site-specific interventions and installations, still and moving image, and conceptual projects.
