‘Lithuanian Art 2000–2010: Ten Years’ is a retrospective exhibition which seeks to outline the strategies and processes present within contemporary Lithuanian art produced during the decade: and present works, or their documentation, that form what the curators’ consider to be the nucleus of the period. The exhibition is comprised of five thematic sections that survey dominant art strategies of the past decade: appropriation, collaboration, documentation, fictions and institutional critique.
Over 70 artists and artists’ groups and more than 100 works will be presented in ‘Lithuanian Art 2000–2010: Ten Years’. The exhibition will be accompanied by a programme of events and a full colour English-Lithuanian catalogue documenting not only the exposition but the Lithuanian art scene of the last ten years.
