Groupe Dunes / Yellow Line

The Contemporary Art Centre welcomes you to the opening of special audiovisual project Variations_Vilnius by French collaborative artists Groupe Dunes and to the opening of a new cycle of exhibitions and projects by young Lithuanian artists titled Yellow Line, starting with the exhibition of photography Us, Them, and Some Out-takes.

Groupe Dunes: Variations_Vilnius
02 02 - 03 15 2007

For several years, the Groupe Dunes have been re-creating a singular - visually impressive - work that defies art/media categorisation. It makes the audience wonder whether its authors are, filmmakers, town-planners, or choreographers. And if its content conceptual, critical, political or principally based on perception? It probably embodies all of this at once. Despite its unclassifiable nature it is a complex artistic endeavour that provokes corporeal experience and flights of imagination. Nighttime and darkness are essential ingredients for the visibility of the many video images projected in these installations; as is the soundtrack that influences its spatio-temporal reading. In Vilnius, the audience will walk through a scenography of light, video images and sounds; produced by Madeleine Chiche and Bernard Misrachi to match the scale (1000 square metres) of the Contemporary Art Centre's largest exhibition hall.

Realized in cooperation with Contour/Passage.

Yellow Line: The Contemporary Art Centre is pleased to launch a new cycle of exhibitions and projects by young Lithuanian artists - titled Yellow Line.

In days gone by the Vilnius Old Town was demarcated by a yellow line over which heavy traffic couldn't pass without a proper permit: or a corresponding yellow line painted on the vehicle's body work. Internationally, a yellow line painted at the curb or a double-yellow line in the centre of the road signifies no stopping or no overtaking, respectively. Though observing these lines can lead the traveller to new routes and new adventures. In fact yellow lines are used to mark all sorts of no-go-zones or boundaries. Yellow's not all bad though. It marks the bulls-eye in a target. During springtime it radiates in nature - generally associated with youthfulness and energy. And in Lithuania new product lines and sale items are marked with yellow tickets. In other words yellow is a colour, used in many aspects of visual design, guaranteed to attract our attention. In 2007, Lithuanian artists at the start of their careers or who are still studying will be invited to step over the Yellow Line and invest it with new, and potentially risky, meanings - and mark their own line.
