22-24 July from 7 pm
CAC Sculpture yard

‘The Maze and The Lighthouse’ is a three day programme to introduce the forthcoming edition of the Baltic Triennial taking place in 2021. Set outdoors in the Sculpture Yard of the Contemporary art centre Vilnius (CAC), it will focus on the Baltics and the surrounding region, and emphasise arts’ inscription in a wide social landscape, mirroring current frictions between a multiplicity of end points and new beginnings.

The event will radiate from a monolith-screen, refracting ongoing research and operating as a malleable panorama of our current flickering, non-linear condition. Designed as a soft platform, it will present an open compilation of positions and imaginaries via conversation, moving image, performance, readings and music. The series of actions will engage with a paradoxical time of fragmented integration where conflicting ecologic, economic and political agencies are enacted. Accordingly, ‘The Maze and The Lighthouse’ will experiment with multiple passages, reflecting various views while teasing out potentialities of the forthcoming.

Participants: Caline with C (Lithuania)/The Social Lover (Netherlands), Uli Golub (Ukraine), Roman Himey-Yarema Malashchuk (Ukraine), Milda Januševičiūtė/Ignė Narbutaitė (Lithuania), Sasha Litvintseva (Russia/United Kingdom)/Beny Wagner (Germany/United States), Ania Nowak (Poland), Jaakko Pallasvuo (Finland), Agnieszka Polska (Poland), Anni Puolakka (Finland), Jura Shust (Belarus), Miša Skalskis (Lithuania), Anastasia Sosunova (Lithuania), Viktor Timofeev (Latvia/USA), Tomas Venclova (Lithuania)
