Eksperimentai Kvietimas 2011
Eksperimentai Kvietimas 2011
These are a selection of the photographs I took at the launch of the Experiments with Light exhibition at the Zalgiris Arena in Kaunas, Lithuania, last weekend.
I must confess that I was expecting a small turn out for the opening of this exhibition which was a satellite to the Kaunas Textile Biennial. I was rather shocked, and slightly humbled, to see several hundred people passing through the doors on the opening night alone to experience my work along with that of nearly 40 other international artists in the ultravioletly illuminated exhibition space.
Click the thumbnails to view the images in all their glory.
I’ll be posting some blog posts about the other wonderful exhibitions I encountered ay the Kaunas Biennial in the following few days so watch this space for more updates soon.

Experiments with Light
Experiments with Light
My work will be on display in Lithuania as a part of an exhibition hosted by The Textile Artists’ Guild in Kaunas this month. The exhibition, entitled Experiments with Light, has been curated by Jolanta Šmidtiene and Dovil? Vanagaite.
The brand new Kaunas arena’ media centre will be transformed for an international exhibition in which exhibits will be installed in the darkness and illuminated by ultraviolet light. This luminescent lighting will highlight details of the artworks enriching the aesthetic experiences of the visitors creating mystical effects and exhibiting unexpected approaches to textile art.
The exhibition will feature four of my luminescent sculptures including Wretched Rupture III (pictured above). There will be a launch event on Friday 23 September 2011 from 8.00 – 9.00pm and the exhibition will continue throughout the Textile festival. The Textile Guild will also be holding a number of workshops throughout the Kaunas Biennial.
