2ß6 x 26cm. Paperback, 249pp. From the publicity release: "Dainius Liskevicius's 'Museum' is presented in the Lithuanian Pavilion at the 56th International Art Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia by Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts. The pavilion is organised by curator and commissioner Dr. Vytautas Michelkevicius, 2nd commissioner Rasa Antanaviciute, producer Daina Pupkeviciute and the Pavilion team. 'Museum', which originated in 2012 as a black cube intervention in the Lithuanian National Gallery of Art in Vilnius, has arrived in Venice as an artist-created institution which can tell and do what ordinary museums cannot. The artist's ways of storytelling and rhetoric simulate the phenomenon of a museum itself, with its rules and methods. In this way, a discursive space with overlapping subjective and objective interpretations of time is created. As the Lithuanian national pavilion, 'Museum' seemingly alludes to the idea of the curator Okwui Enwezor that a national pavilion is 'the most anachronistic exhibition model'. At the same time, it offers a relevant model of conduct for today's world, full of national and geopolitical conflicts. The multi-layered collection that has been put together by the artist works as an elliptical time loop. It simultaneously takes us back to the recent past, questions the present, and projects our anxieties onto a future that is full of cultural and geopolitical tensions. 'Museum' is essentially a one-off piece of artistic research, but it is not only relevant in exploring the depths of the Soviet totalitarian regime. It is also a possible model for dealing with present-day hegemonic powers, and their impact on the public discourse and the freedom of the artist. In his vision of Lithuanian art history, revamped with subtle irony, the artist offers an unexpected version of the archaeology of objects. Here, every object has both a personal and a collective history that conveys the signs of the times, and allows us to travel in time. Within the space of 'Museum', Liskevicius's own life story intertwines with those of dissident revolutionaries and idealised cultural figures (such as Jean-Paul Sartre), further erasing the thin line between subjective and objective forms of storytelling." Very good condition. …
