This summer, the Contemporary Art Centre invites you to explore three exhibitions:

📌 Great, Northern, and Cinema Halls: the group exhibition Borders are Nocturnal Animals / Sienos yra naktiniai gyvūnai, curated by Neringa Bumblienė and Émilie Villez
📌 South Hall: Gerda Paliušytė’s solo exhibition Expectations, featuring sculptural objects by Gediminas G. Akstinas, curated by Asta Vaičiulytė
📌 First-floor foyer and inner courtyard: Polish artist Piotr Bury Łakomy’s solo exhibition Garden Exit, curated by Edvardas Šumila

At first glance, these three exhibitions differ in theme and form. However, a closer look reveals subtle interconnections. The guided tours are designed to help visitors notice shared motifs – such as the human–nature relationship and the impact of time on physical objects, as well as on cultural or political phenomena. The tours also highlight key differences between the exhibitions, revealing a diversity of themes and artistic approaches.

According to the tour organisers, all three exhibitions invite viewers to explore deeper meanings that connect past and present, individual and collective experience, the human body, architecture, and nature.

These guided tours offer a brief yet insightful introduction to three distinct but overlapping exhibitions. They are an exercise in seeing and thinking – encouraging visitors not only to observe but also to engage: to connect with the works, their choreography, and the stories they tell.
