The Maze and The Lighthouse
22-24 July from 7 pm
CAC Sculpture yard (Vilnius, Vokiečių str. 2)
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.
