Sunday, 29 September at 4.30 pm we invite you to take a walk with the curator of the exhibition "in a maze" Marija Repšytė, during which the artists' books and publications will be opened and talked about.
The exhibition includes artists’ books of a single copy, kept in the Graphic Arts Cabinet of the Vilnius University Library, or books with a print run of 5000 copies, such as the French artist Sophie Calle's years-long research on blindness and the blind's understanding of beauty. Books in the form of tarot cards, interactive posters, collaborative projects – in the form of magazines, newspapers or postcards – rethinking the present, the problems, the realities or the possible future scenarios. Collage books, riso printing, artistic research in a photo album, music and sound in publications by different artists, a book drawn together by an artist and his child, or publications recording clocks, fountains, or human architecture for bees.
The exhibition in a maze is a relocation of the reading room/bookstore "12:15 Reading Room", founded by the curator of this exhibition Marija Repšytė, to the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art, both in terms of the idea and the works of art – books.
The event is open to the public and will be filmed and photographed. By attending the event you agree to be featured in photographs and videos of the event and are informed that these photographs and videos may be made public.
