In the beginning of April at KCCC Exhibition Hall (Didžioji Vandens g. 2, Klaipėda) Klaipėda Culture Communication Centre presented a project “Following Piece” by Kristina Inčiūraitė. At the exhibition a video piece "The Meeting" will be presented. This video was created on commission of Klaipėda Culture Communication Centre.
The works presented in the exhibition follow the trail of the urban landscape in search of architectural signs of utopia, originating in the fairly recent past and silently vegetating nearby (the films The Meeting, 2012, Following Piece, 2011, the photographic series The Resort, 2007, and other works) or created just recently and already falling into oblivion (the drawing series The Centre, 2009). Architectural constructions cast a shadow on our lives: they reflect our present states and changing expectations.
Another film, The Meeting, created on commission of Klaipėda Culture Communication Centre, as well as the associated objects and the drawing on the wall, takes the viewer to the neighbouring Kaliningrad area. The film presents the artist’s correspondence with a female resident of the town of Svetlogorsk of the same age, who is seeking new acquaintances on the Internet. The author uses a male name and does not disclose to the correspondence partner that this interaction is a part of an art project.
According to exhibition curator, art critic Laima Kreivytė, Kristina Inčiūraitė is one of the most interesting contemporary artists, whose work combines the spaces of cinema, architecture and narrative in an original way. She constructs her photographs, drawings, film and video works like a functionalist building with the communications systems brought to the outside. The artist is concerned with the collision of reality and fiction, as well as the links between imagined and real history. Inčiūraitė’s personal historical research is based on intensification of the experience of the present, rather than on archaeology or ethnography. Instead of passively watching the images, the viewer engages in narrative construction by assembling his or her own version of the story from shots and narratives. Kristina’s projects present more clues to the lovers of visual detective stories. The key phrase of this exhibition could be “follow me”.
