In Gilyt\u0117\u2018s works, local, national themes intersect with the global. In Lithuanian, the word \u017eem\u0117<\/em> can refer to either the planet Earth, or land, as in a field or territory, as well as soil as a formative element of our identity \u2013 these notions emerge in Gilyt\u0117\u2018s works taking multiple forms, evoking various associations. To her, land is much like an archetypal field that localises art. It exists in our imaginations and recollections, in historic memory and literature, it is recorded in maps and ownership documents, and it is the recurring motif of this exhibition. Earlier video works are being weaved into a new fabric with installations and video projections created in situ for the particular museum space, along with monochrome maps drawn using ink and spruce needles, never before shown in Lithuania.<\/p>\n Gilyt\u0117 sees the museum as an empty space that is open in all directions, one that she conquers with her works, enticing the viewer inside, encouraging them to immerse themselves in the geographical search for the historic battleground of Grunwald, which eventually stratifies into layers of connotations relating to the greenery of the woods and the colour green itself that can only be escaped by finding the golden spruce needle.<\/p>\n Exhibition curator Dr. Jurgita Ludavi\u010dien\u0117<\/p>\n Partners: Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists\u2019 Association (LIAA), SODAS 2123.<\/p>\n Project is funded by<\/p>\n Current safety regulations require the visitors to wear face masks and maintaining social distance of at least 2 m.
