Emission 2006: Donatas Jankauskas
"Day" video instalation, LED screens, CAC roof

Donatas Jankauskas continues the remixology of M.K.Ciurlionio oeuvre. Yet in his first Retrospective in CAC in 1999 D.Jankauskas reinterpreted Ciurlionis’ musical pieces and reproductions of paintings. Then he has spotted in the reproductions more than anyone from numerous fans of Ciurlionis has ever seen. In symbolically idealistic and oriental esoteric paintings of Ciurlionis Jankauskas exposed hidden monkeys. In this manner remixed album of Ciurlionis became Marciulionis with alusion to famous Lithuanian basketball player. In this exhibition monkeys don’t hide. On the contrary, they became main heroes of Jankauskas new video pieces as now they escaped from Ciurlionis paintings to Vilnius skyline and further.

Emission 2006: Redas Dirzys
"Commemoration of “Don‘t Take Lithuania‘s name in Vain", or Vilnius, a European Capital of Culture"

In 2009 Vilnius will become a European capital of culture. It will share this title with Linz, a city in Northern Austria. The main stimulus initiating this important phenomenon has been the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the first recorded mention of the name Lithuania. Lithuania was first mentioned in written sources in 1009 - local savages in these lands decapitated the bishop and monk St. Bruno, who “immediately went to heaven along with 18 others of his lot". The exhibition will be dedicated to different ways of commemorating the name of Lithuania. It will be one of the first exhibitions of this kind, anticipating the commemoration of 1000th anniversary of Lithuania and popularising the image of Vilnius as a European capital of culture. The exhibition does not have anything in common with art - it is a civil and political gesture.
