State: a group exhibition by contemporary sculpture artists at the Panemune castle park

The exhibition “State” introduced by the gallery (AV17) presents ten well-known sculptors from Lithuania and their most recent artworks. The list of featured artists includes Gediminas Akstinas, Danas Aleksa, Jonas Aničas, Nerijus Erminas, Tauras Kensminas, Petras Mazūras, Rimantas Milkintas, Rafal Piesliak, Mykolas Sauka, and Marija Šnipaitė. These artists represent different generations; several of them are recent graduates of Vilnius Academy of Arts, while others are well-known artists already established in the Lithuanian art scene. All of them are united by their conceptual work pursuing new forms of expression in sculpture. The exhibition of contemporary sculpture presented in the territory of cultural heritage not only allows to get acquainted with the diversity of the sculptural object, but also creates an unexpected connection with the place which cherishes history. It also provides an opportunity to look at the manor and its territory from a different point of view.
