The title of the exhibition pays tribute to the \u201cinvisibles\u201d – the furniture that lives in museum repositories, often only accessible to curators, historians and conservators. In addition to representative historical furniture, the museum vaults also contain \u201cforgotten\u201d objects that would never be displayed or restored due to being too deteriorated or not considered valuable enough. The repository itself and its material history became the main source of inspiration for this exhibition. The curators suggest seeing the value of the objects as a reflection of Lithuania\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Often there was little information about the objects in museum vaults, so the curators, together with the historian Dr. Egl\u0117 Bagu\u0161inskait\u0117 and the restorers, searched for various historical facts and contexts. This information, interconnected in the perspective of time, materials and changing technologies, allowed them to look at the furniture subjectively. The historical research will complement the stories held in the museum repositories. The aim of the exhibition is to reveal the potential of these \u201csilent\u201d objects as participants of everyday life coming from different periods, and to introduce the audience to old furniture technologies, restoration features, as well as the culture of Lithuania\u2019s and region\u2019s historic interiors. \u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

At the same time, the exposition presents design objects created by contemporary artists, revealing the continuity of ideas and discovering unexpected connections in the present. The exhibition features newly commissioned works by designer Kotryna Butautyt\u0117, the wood studio Natyvai, light artist R\u016bta Palionyt\u0117 and architect Ieva Baranauskait\u0117, interdisciplinary art creator Dr.GoraParasit, photographer Darius Petrulaitis, Autotelic Objects (Justas Silkauskas), artist Egl\u0117 Pilkauskait\u0117, I\u0161ora x Lozuraityt\u0117 Studio for Architecture, artist Vladas Suncovas, and international designers Audrey Large (Netherlands), Delphine Lejeune (France), Clara Schweers (Germany) and Kurina Sohn (South Korea). These artists interpret the exhibits in Lithuanian museum repositories by creating contemporary design works. In this way, design as the process of object creation extends as a way of thinking and becomes a means of appreciating historical objects, drawing attention to our current relationship with furniture and the environment.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is truly multivocal: alongside exhibits from museum repositories and design works created by contemporary creators especially for this exhibition, it features design objects by multiple Lithuanian and foreign designers and brands, such as Dirk van der Kooij (Netherlands), Moustache (France), Tade\u00e1\u0161 Podrack\u00fd (Czech Republic), Lucas Mu\u00f1oz Mu\u00f1oz and Ines Sistiaga (Spain), Tuomas Markunpoika (Finland), Mantas Lesauskas, jot.jot, EMKO (Lithuania), Leo Maher (United Kingdom), Carolina Sardal Jerhov (Sweden), Benjamin Motoc (France), Studio Luuk van Laarhoven (Netherlands). These works continue to complement, extend, speak to and comment on the furniture from Lithuanian museum repositories, selected by the curators.<\/p>\n

The architecture of the exhibition, developed in collaboration with the team of IMPLMNT architects, becomes yet another – the largest – piece of furniture on display, interpreting and deconstructing the idea of a storage shelf. After all, it is the shelves that house most of the furniture in museum repositories that is usually invisible to the public. As the space of the hall opens up, the racking structure offers different trajectories of movement through the space in historically non-linear perspectives, where old furniture from museum collections is seen from the perspective of contemporary design-thinking.<\/p>\n
