Valdas Ozarinskas presents a site-specific installation in each Baltic capital city – Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius – where according to the rules of creation of an ‘open artwork’ audio, video, urbanism, design, architecture, texts and other forms merge together. The name of the project is a term that describes waves such as sound, and their movement. The process and indetermination of artificial acts are equally important for the final result of the installation, which will not be finite and will fluctuate in the different cities of travelling exhibition.

He graduated from the Department of Architecture, State Art Institute (now Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts), is currently a member of Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Art Creators’ Association and Lithuanian artists group Private Ideology know for its innovative ideas.

Gintaras Didziapetris:
From time to time

Curator: Simon Rees

FROM TIME TO TIME is the first solo exhibition, of new work, by Vilnius artist Gintaras Didziapetris (b. 1985). The title of the exhibition is inspired by a work by conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner from the mid-1970s that suggests concepts within artworks can be revisited at a date in the future. Ranging from slide projections to postcards, photography, and objects, and Minus One a work that makes a nice conceptualist twist: it is a certificate that guarantees the owner of the work (a private collector) that the work that they purchased will never be made.

Gintaras Didziapetris has recently had his works included in several projects in Lithuania and internationally, including the first Biennale of Young Artists, Tallinn and Vilnius is Burning, Turin. The Yellow Line young Lithuanian artist series is principally sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania
