Until the 28th of September, the procumentation (proactive documentation) of the exhibition (Per)forming Scapes is presented at the VAA/Outdoors Expo pavilion of Ceramics Creative Centre (Maironio str 4, Vilnius). Few exhibition objects have been relocated to Vilnius where they once again (per)form the landscape of Curonian Spit in the cityscape of Vilnius Old Town. The QR codes and hyperlinks transfer the spectator to the documentation of the previous exhibition and presented videos. |
The landscape of Curonian Spit is (per)formed, phytocracy is established in Neringa, the exhibition halls turn into gyms, it is discovered that the local mentality is formed by constant work in a specific landscape, and traditional singing turns into an animalistic snarl and rumble. Throughout May and July, VAA Nida Art Colony and the entire area of Curonian Spit has turned into a testing ground and a research laboratory where exhibition participants were discussing the relationship between human and nature on various scales: from vast geological landscape to symbiosis with smallest plants, from park and other regulations to psychophysical provisions. This intense residency period has turned into an exhibition (Per)forming Scapes at VAA Nida Art Colony that intertwined landscape architecture, geography, biology, sculpture, work ethics, choreography, new media, and performative practices.
Participants
Exhibition was supported by: Lithuanian Council for Culture, Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania, Goethe-Institut in Lithuania, The Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture (KKNORD) |
