We invite you on a retrospective journey through nine decades of the twentieth century, following the traces of Lithuanian artists far beyond the borders of their homeland.
On 25th August exhibition Op Art Reflections was opened at the MO museum. In the exhibition for the first time in Lithuania, the influence of optical art on the work of Lithuanian artists in the 1970s and 1980s will be presented. One of the artworks in exhibited there is “Op Art Composition” (1969) by Vladislovas Žilius which was loaned by the the Lithuanian Art Centre TARTLE.
On 14th July exhibition Sheets and Splashes. Leisure in 20th and 21st century Lithuanian art was opened at the National Gallery of Art. In the exhibition these matters were revisited as the curators looked through almost thirty public and private collections in search of images of leisure in the artefacts of Lithuania’s modern visual culture: painting, graphic art, sculpture, photography, applied art, contemporary art, advertising, feature and documentary films, and amateur art. Seven artworks for the exhibition were loaned by the the Lithuanian Art Centre TARTLE.
Currently we are changing the exhibition and will be open for visitors starting from June.
In its fourth exhibition, the Lithuanian Art Centre Tartle showcases part of its collection representing the tendencies in artistic life in Soviet-occupied Lithuania, and features of the work by artists who fled to the West.
This exhibition at the Vytautas Kasiulis Museum of Art presents, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the artistic legacy of the sisters Irena and Joanna Karpińska. Vilnius played a particularly important role in their lives: Irena and Joanna began studying at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Stephen Báthory University in 1928 and 1929, respectively, and it was there that their artistic outlooks, approaches, and individual styles matured. They never forgot Vilnius, and throughout their lives they shared memories of the city and the people they had met there. A work by Joanna Karpinska was lent for the exhibition by TARTLE.
Every weekend in February, a special event called SU-MENĖK will take place, involving 31 museums and galleries across the city.
On December 29th between 11 a.m. and 19 p.m. we are opening TARTLE doors to visitors free-of-charge.
