At the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art (V. Putvinskio St. 55, Kaunas), J. Kimo Arbas installation “Awakening 150”.
J. Kimo Arbas’s project is a meditative journey that reflects transformation, consciousness, and renewal. Inspired by M. K. Čiurlionis’s cosmic vision and spiritual sensitivity, Arbas explores the unseen forces that connect nature, memory, and perception. The installation merges the sounds and visuals of the surrounding environment with a ritual-like experience.
The installation “Awakening 150” concludes the celebratory year dedicated to M. K. Čiurlionis’ anniversary, inviting visitors to view art as a bridge between the material and the sacred, the visible and the invisible.
