Exhibition ‘Words aren’t the thing’ opens at the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius on Friday 13 November 2015 at 6 pm. The artist collective D.O.R. is commissioned to inaugurate the exhibition and give an in-depth analysis on the conceptual gravitation points of the de-lingualised situation that inhabits the space between the word and the thing, and how this brutally dis-communicates thought.
