Photographs by Veronika \u0160leivyt\u0117 (1906\u20131998)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>With her camera, Veronika \u0160leivyt\u0117 explores both the world and herself. A different angle each time, a different light, a different composition, and the same person, the same fragment of space becomes a new work of art. This way, an abundance of shots accumulates. So many of them \u2013 over 250 originals and prints of yet unseen negatives from the artist\u2019s archive \u2013 will be exhibited for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Veronika \u0160leivyt\u0117 was born on December 6, 1906, in Anta\u0161ava, Kupi\u0161kis District, grew up in the nearby Viktari\u0161kiai Village, lived and worked in Kaunas, died there on April 21, 1998, and was buried in the Anta\u0161ava Cemetery. The photographs document her life between these two locations in Lithuania: her transformation from a daughter of landless peasants of the Russian Empire into an artist, the chairwoman of Lithuanian Women Artists\u2019 Association in the temporary capital of the country that had regained its independence, and then into a weird Soviet artist who was only painting flowers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Photographs by \u0160leivyt\u0117 are interesting to us today both as her artistic heritage and as documents of her roles: a daughter, a sister, an artist, the public woman, an educator and a lover. The artist had thoroughly ordered her archive and donated it to the Kupi\u0161kis Ethnographic Museum together with the letters from her friends and lovers, sketches, notes and paintings. By using all of this material, the curators have reconstructed \u0160leivyt\u0117\u2019s life and tried to imagine what she was like. The image has been enriched not only by exhibiting some of the things she possessed, but also by the contemporary artist Egl\u0117 Ridikait\u0117 (born in Kupi\u0161kis in 1966) who, especially for this exhibition, has created a painting interpreting a pattern found in \u0160leivyt\u0117\u2019s photographs. The curators have also almost fully recreated \u0160leivyt\u0117\u2019s display at the exhibition of the Lithuanian Photo Amateurs Union in 1933 by looking at its photographic documentation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u0160leivyt\u0117 treated photography also as a means of communication. Having printed a photo as a postcard, she would write something on the back and send it to her family or friends. \u201cSometimes V\u0117ra Looks Like That\u201d is one of such inscriptions. It demonstrates the artist\u2019s introspection and reminds us of the temporariness of all states of being, the freedom of mutability and that photographs are but appearances for which everything has been performed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Text by Milda Dainovskyt\u0117 and Agn\u0117 Naru\u0161yt\u0117.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Curators of the exhibition: Milda Dainovskyt\u0117 and Agn\u0117 Naru\u0161yt\u0117<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exhibition architect: Vladas Suncovas<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coordinator of the implementation of exhibition architecture: Mindaugas Reklaitis<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Graphic designer: Egl\u0117 Ruibyt\u0117.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Project leader: Giedr\u0117 Zuozien\u0117.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Project coordinator: Lolita Jablonskien\u0117.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Texts by: Agn\u0117 Naru\u0161yt\u0117, Milda Dainovskyt\u0117, Ieva Burbait\u0117, Laima Kreivyt\u0117.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An artwork by Egl\u0117 Ridikait\u0117 is presented in the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Organizers: Kupi\u0161kis Ethnographic Museum and National Gallery of Art of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Partners: UAB Surikatos, Lithuanian Photographers Association.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lenders: Kupi\u0161kis Ethnographic Museum and Lithuanian Photographers Association.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project is financed by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and Kupi\u0161kis District Municipality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Media sponsors: artnews.lt, echogonewrong.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sponsors: UAB \u201eKupi\u0161k\u0117n\u0173 mintys\u201c, Foto ProCentras.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Special thanks to Vadim \u0160amkov, Mindaugas Reklaitis, Julija \u010cesnulaityt\u0117.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With her camera, Veronika \u0160leivyt\u0117 explores both the world and herself.
