Neringa Vasiliauskaitė at Kunstraum München

For the Kunstraum München, Neringa Vasiliauskaitė is developing new multi-layered site-specific works in which surfaces and objects are carriers of personal and cultural memories and information. They prompt viewers to examine the transformation of aggregate states and strands of time as well as the emotions and meanings associated with these. Her large and small-format objects made of printed textiles on padded backgrounds and covered with epoxy resin and incorporated wooden elements, blur the boundaries between inside and outside. They open a dialogue between material (transfer) and repetition, imitation and contradiction. Shiny surfaces are reminiscent of leather upholstery or human skin, solid surfaces become fluid, and soft ones cure and harden or reproduce themselves. Repetitions & Rituals invites us to explore the subtle boundary between the past and the present and gives us a new sensibility for physicality and memory by revealing cultural layers and examining them from a subjective perspective.
