The exhibition features works from the collection of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, as well as the latest works by folk and contemporary artists. They all spin into a ball of meanings, traditions, and stories. The exhibition does not attempt to offer the viewer a single narrative about our relationship with cats and lions. On the contrary, it seeks to reveal the multifaceted nature and complexity of this relationship. The exhibition is perhaps an impossible-to-untangle ball of our gazes upon ourselves, where the viewer is invited not to follow a single, coherent story, but to play with the cats that have taken up residence in the gallery and to unravel a ball of yarn that may unroll differently each time, revealing different ends of the thread.
