The exhibition at MOCAK (the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cracow) presents the most important trends and figures in contemporary Lithuanian art. Its leitmotif is paradox in art, which defies logical arguments. In art, it is often used as a device to challenge the beliefs and expectations of the audience. The aim is to provoke the audience to take a fresh look at situations that they take for granted. The exhibition has been organised in collaboration with the Lithuanian National Museum of Art in Vilnius and is based both on the collections of this institution and private collections. It includes installations, videos, sculptures and other objects – and shows only some of Lithuanian art of the last 30 years. The exhibition is part of the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Vilnius.

The exhibition is open from 27.10.2023 to 10.03.2024.
