Gallery Meno Niša invites to the opening of an exclusive exhibition on October 11, at 6 p.m. For the first time, the works of two art greats, the winners of the National Art Prize Rūta Katiliūtė and Vladimir Tarasov, will be presented together in the curated painting, video, and sound exhibition ‘Something Happened…’
It is an abstract video and audio exhibition of two creators who are minimalists in their forms of expression, but maximalists in terms of result and process. Both artists are of the same generation, both were awarded the National Culture and Art Prize in the same year. A musician and a painter. Both image creators live at the same time but had never created together. Both meet at the Meno Niša Gallery.
After many years of observing and analyzing the works of both creators – Rūta Katiliūtė and Vladimir Tarasov, art critic Sonata Baliuckaitė, who previously curated personal exhibitions of both artists, noticed the communion of these creators and invited them to create a joint project.
“Both image creators live at the same time, but never created together. R. Katiliūtė, in general, is a creator individualist, so an exhibition with a musician or another artist is a rare exception in her creative biography. Meanwhile, V. Tarasov is a musician who feels both a listener and a colleague playing nearby, therefore he is good at predicting the viewer and creating an effect. Light and nature are important to both of them,” said the curator of the exhibition S. Baliuckaitė.
Exhibition ‘Something Happened…’ will be open from October 11 to November 13.
The project of the exhibition is financed by the Council for Culture.
The gallery is sponsored by Vilnius City Municipality.
