International exhibition of the 16th International Vilnius Painting Triennial ‘Nomadic Images’ presents invited artists from Lithuania and other European countries. The organisers adapt the wandering world vision articulated by the thinkers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in which reality is constantly changing, and is described using notions of the rhizome and the labyrinth, to the field of contemporary painting. In this way, we can understand forms of painterly expression as a potential infinity that can take various configurations, grow freely, and develop in any direction. Innovation in painting, and changes in forms of representation, format and materials, are emphasized.
Artists participating in the exhibition: Alma Heikkilä (FI), Andris Vītoliņš (LV), Bronius Gražys (LT), David Schnell (DE), Eberhard Havekost (DE), Ewa Juszkiewicz (PL), Gintaras Palemonas Janonis (LT), Jan Poupě (CZ), Jens Fänge (SE), Jolanta Kyzikaitė (LT), Jonas Gasiūnas (LT), Jonas Jurcikas (LT), Kristaps Ģelzis (LV), Kristi Kongi (EE), Konstantinas Gaitanži (LT), Laisvydė Šalčiūtė (LT), Linas Jusionis (LT), Markus Åkesson (SE), Merike Estna (EE), Mihkel Ilus (EE), Mircea Suciu (RO), Mykola Belous (UA), Pieter Vermeersch (BE), Ragna Bley (NO), Rafał Bujnowski (PL), Ramūnas Čeponis (LT), Tomek Baran (PL), Žygimantas Augustinas (LT)
International Vilnius Painting Triennial is a continuous event organized by the Lithuanian Artists’ Association every three years since 1969 and it has become one of the most important events in the Lithuanian art scene. The Triennial has been a professional reflection of the main directions and tendencies in the development of painting. It has acted as a mirror of contemporary painting, and predicted its future.
Exhibition is on view at the Museum of Applied Art and Design until 31th December, 2016.
