International Conference INTERWAR VILNIUS: SHAPES OF ART AND ARCHITECTUREIN IN 1919–1939

In the recent years, Vilnius art and architecture of the interwar period has been receiving increasingly more interest both in Lithuania and the neighbouring countries (above all, Poland). Today, the theme of Vilnius modernism acquires special relevance as it encourages us to analyse the art and architecture of Vilnius and the Vilnius region in 1919–1939 as part of the common history of European modernism, and brings out the local features of cultural modernisation.

The aim of the conference is to bring together specialists in various fields (art history and theory, architecture and heritage) and try to answer the questions: did the Vilnius modernism exist, and what was it like? How is it related to the local tradition and heritage? What reasons might have determined the formation (or lack of it) of the Vilnius modernism? What was the role of state institutions or private individuals in shaping the processes of art, architecture and heritage protection? By raising these and other questions, we aim to discuss the most relevant interlacement points of Vilnius modernism in art, architecture and heritage in 1919–1929.
