On 25 February 2025 at 7 pm, Dainius and Jolita Liškevičiai invite you to the screening of The Modern Flat, a documentary film by Dainius Liškevičius. Comfortably seated on sofas or chairs, you will have the opportunity to visit their home in Vilnius, where 15 years of creation and life are transformed into a 1.5-hour film. The screening will be followed by a conversation over a glass of wine with artist Dainius Liškevičius and art critic Jolita Liškevičienė.
The Modern Flat
a documentary film / 91 min
Artist Dainius Liškevičius invites us into his living space where the line between the mundane and the creative is blurred. Home videos and contemporary documentary footage form the film’s cohesive tapestry, with the artist’s flat playing a central role. The flat reveals the everyday world of not just the artist but also his family. This microcosm shows the many ways how day-to-day activities – the ritual of removing the Christmas tree, parties, moving furniture, choosing which drawings will go on the wall, drinking tea – are transformed into performances. The private home space turns into a scene, and family members become actors. The mysterious story of the flat is unraveled in parallel with that of the artist’s works.
Organised by Dainius Liškevičius and Jolita Liškevičienė as part of their NAC artist residency.
