The current AIROOM resident Gerda Paliusyte (b. 1987) is a Lithuanian video artist and curator currently living and studying in Amsterdam. In 2012-2015 together with Inesa Brašiške she initiated and curated The Gardens (www.thegardens.lt) – an exhibition space based in Vilnius planetarium, which was dedicaded for the presentation and dissemination of the Lithuanian contemporary art. Her last projects include The Road Movie, a docufiction film that has been commisioned and represented by XII Baltic triennial in 2015, and “more not yet” – an ongoing series of exhibition documentaries that will be continued during her time in the Air Room residency in London. She is currently working on her new film called “A Desire For Things To Work” that maps the voices of the phone sex workers in Amsterdam.
In her work Paliusyte has been addressing the limits of different representational regimes that are dependent on the predominant, yet mutable power structures and the flow of time.
The Road Movie, 2015 by Gerda Paliusyte will be installed and presented in Kunstraum gallery, London.
It will be on view on 16th June, 6 pm-9 pm.
Kunstraum, 21 Roscoe St, London EC1Y 8PT
