Echo Gone Wrong - Contemporary art daily on-line representing Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia with an overview of events in the Nordic countries.
Echo Gone Wrong – an international contemporary art daily on-line, representing Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian contemporary art scenes. The title of the daily refers to a title of a song by a legendary SKA band Bad Manners , which in the early 80’s was listened in gatherings by so called “rollers” (aka rock’n’roll) in Soviet Lithuania, accurately followed by the KGB. The rollers derived from a very specific early Lithuanian punk movement; they “revived” Elvis Presley and Bill Halley, listened to Madness and Bad Manners, danced twist and “brought up” New Wave hairstyles. Their resistance against the system was their passion for Western music, fashion and parties. However, the West was already different that they imagined, and such a hybrid “roller” movement was nowhere else to be find, except on this part of the Iron Wall. Echo Gone Wrong. In both directions.
This contemporary art daily attempts to shout out louder and more clearly, so that echo wouldn't get lost in the overcrowded grounds.
