Anna Clawson and Nicole Ward’s exhibition at Malonioji 6, entitled Free Home Delivery is their first in Lithuania. The exhibition draws upon the nature of television sitcom aesthetics, incorporating the idea that a studio set is a private and interiorised landscape. Within such manufactured settings, the external world penetrates the characters lives through carefully controlled techniques.
New works on display include print, sculptural objects and audio. Acting as signifiers, the work makes gestures to the distinctions between interior and exterior thresholds.
Works in the first room are collectively referred to as Pilot episode (part one), and works in the second room, Pilot episode (part two).
Malonioji 6 was set up by Lithuanian artist Žilvinas Landzbergas in April 2012. It is based in an old wooden house in Žvėrynas, one of the greenest and cosiest suburbs of Vilnius. Malonioji 6 is a combination of a flat and a salon and aims to be a space for meetings of different generations.
