On Wednesday March 8th at 7pm, we invite you to a guided tour at Neo-Monumental exhibition, followed by a presentation by Paulina Eglė Pukytė, curator of the 11th Kaunas Biennial that took place several months ago. Pukytė (b. 1966, Vilnius) is an artist, writer, essayist and cultural commentator. In 2017 she curated the 11th Kaunas Biennial, an exhibition of site-specific interventions concerned with (im)possibility of a monument. In her visual art practice she makes site-specific interventions and still and moving images, often using found artefacts, such as objects, images and texts. Comic and tragic, critical and poetic, Pukyte’s work twists perspectives and meanings, deconstructing socio-ideological myths and socio-cultural clichés.
In her talk, Pukytė will present the political context of monuments in Lithuania today, the biennial concept and its realization, and the public reactions for it.
During her visit in Israel, Pukytė will participate in the exhibition Dead Honeys in the Artists Residence Herzliya. Her visit is possible thanks to the support of Lithuanian Culture Institute.
Entrance is free of admission!
