Kaunas Biennial is delighted to announce that the international exhibition “MagiC Carpets Landed” will take place in Kaunas (Lithuania) on 5 November 2021 – 23 January 2022. The “Magic Carpets Landed” exhibition will be one of the most prominent visual art events opening the programme of “Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022”.
The exhibition, presenting the results of the four-year “Creative Europe” platform “MagiC Carpets”, is curated by Benedetta Carpi de Resmini, professor, art critic, curator and art director of Latitudo Art Projects, based in Rome, Italy.
The “MagiC Carpets Landed” exhibition, presented at the Kaunas Picture Gallery, Kaunas Railway Station and various public spaces in the city, will feature a selection of artworks created by international artists together with the local communities across Europe. The “MagiC Carpets Landed” exhibition will be accompanied by a custom-made augmented reality guide containing the story written by the Lithuanian playwright Justas Tertelis. Stemming from the curator’s idea, the story, set in the 17th century, follows the adventures of two central characters Eglė and Doron, travelling through 15 European countries (partners of the “MagiC Carpets” platform) and offers a new vision of Erab (Europe).
