"Green" at M.K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art
On June 22nd exhibition GREEN was opened at M.K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art. The color of the exhibition unites Lithuanian art, history, crafts, as well as nature and science. A diversity of variations of the colour green are put on view – from nostalgia, enjoyment and hedonism to fear and anxiety. This exhibition includes the work of Stasys Eidrigevičius - "Robertėlis kaime" from the TARTLE collection.
The works, gathered from the collections of seven museums, artists' studios and other institutions, reveal the most varied variations of the colour green: from nostalgia, enjoyment, hedonism to fear, anxiety, nightmares. The exhibition in four rooms presents different panoramas of "green" – "Beautiful Lithuania", "Disasters", "Visions and Dreams" and "Relaxation". The "Corridor of Science" brings together research by naturalists, scientists and contemporary artists. Visitors will find out why plants are grown from the cell, how grubs fight like lapdogs for a space on a leaf, which minerals are suitable for the production of pigments and glazes, what the meaning of ’to get overgrown with moss’ is, why we see green leaves if they are painted black, how, working with plants and microorganisms, plant surfaces are created in the laboratory.
