On Friday, July 25, at 7 p.m., at the former Reformatų Park Hotel (Basanavičiaus g. 9, Vilnius), Jonas Motiejus Meškauskas’ exhibition ‘Echo Index’ will have its opening, showcasing the artist’s latest works, which mark a shift towards experimenting with the definitions of painterly practice. Exploring the possibilities of installation-based composition, hybrid techniques, and an assemblage-like approach, Jonas also employs new media – drybrush oil painting on cardboard embellished with steel plates etched with iron sulfate acid, marker and correction fluid drawings on organic glass, and cardboard cutouts made to simulate fraisage, all of which complement his original painterly style. The humble curator understood this movement and the whole essence of the exhibition and, together with the artist, organized it through the prism of computer science and the jargon of informational systems, in which he himself sometimes gets lost, but nevertheless invites you to understand the metaphor:

Indexing files, signal transmission and data replication are used to locate existing and potential equipment faults and predict their status. Predetermined chains of events, visual files that appear under conditions of systemic, hardware, and operating memory limitations, determined by the hardware component—the biological system and its user interface, which creates derivatives of the reference encryption algorithm. The program provides results that are controlled by a cybernetic feedback loop, allowing information to be organized and adapted, information noise to be eliminated, and encrypted messages to be transmitted via communication nodes. Due to the internal interaction structure and feedback control loop, as bien as information transmission errors and noise, certain higher-order (systemic) correction forms arise, correcting the behavior of individual components, thus maintaining at least temporarily stable functions. Adaptive interaction is created by modeling data types and their implementation mechanisms, but the incompleteness theorem, probabilistic uncertainty, and fuzzy logic rules prevent the creation of a consistent and complete formal system. All possible interactions are based on Web 2.0 logic, which enables collaboration, user participation in communication networks, and content control, as well as the creation of multi-faceted feedback indicators. The complexity and uncertainty of the description creates a compromise between the information needed to describe the system and the information needed to resolve the uncertai

Jonas Motiejus Meškauskas (b. 1998) is a member of the younger generation of painters with a propensity for methodological anarchism, the aesthetics of unrefined materials, monochromatic brushstrokes, and compositions of random data, discovered and assembled in the context of the excessive visual culture. Currently studying artistic research at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, Jonas continues to read critical theory, outdated postmodernist classics and everything else necessary to participate in the dialectical tradition of art history. Despite his considered, albeit somewhat youthful leftist tendencies, the artist remains faithful to craftsmanship, dialogue and hard work, the fruits of which are evident not only in his expanded concept of painting and experimentation, but also in his curatorial work, deep thinking, and even in the noisy ‘burdiuras’ on Etmonų Street in Vilnius or the drizzly tranquillity of the Coolhaven Street in Rotterdam, a place which the people close to him keep promising to visit.
