Exhibition: Microorganisms and Their Hosts

Opening: 6 October 2020, 18:00
Exhibition dates & times: 7-15 October 2020, daily 15:00–19:00
“Atletika” gallery, 21 Vitebsko Str. Vilnius

My solo exhibition created in cooperation with microorganisms and professionals from various fields, such as scientist Auksė Gaižauskaitė (microbiology), artists Antanas Gerlikas (glass) and Laura Kaminskaitė (exhibition design and glass), curator Valentinas Klimašauskas and others.

The main idea behind this exhibition is how our aesthetic perception is affected by the products we ingest. The exhibition focuses on a project that looks at how selected microorganisms affect our biota –– the populations of various microorganisms living in the gut. Biota contribute to the overall well-being of the human body and, as the exhibition considers, aesthetic perception.

Further collaborations: Bon Alog (video editing), Tristen Bakker (proofreading), Juris Dunovskis (glass), Mark Eckstrand (glass), Alanas Gurinas (camera, sound), Brigita Kasperaitė (video editing), Nerijus Kėblys (graphic design), Mantas Rimkus (graphic design), Martin Schied (electronics), Bevan Taka (glass), Adomas Žudys (3d modelling)
