"GRAND PAS. Called by the arts 2024" solo exhibition by Vaiva Abromaitytė

On the 24th of September at 6 pm the exhibition "GRAND PAS. Called by the arts 2024" by UAI resident photographer Vaiva Abromaityte will open its doors at the Užupis Art Incubator Gallery (Užupis st. 2A).

The artist presents a series of photographs and objects to capture the delicate art of ballet suspending the moment of the dance allowing the viewer to see and feel the exhilarating rush the illusion of music frozen in motion and the physical exertion of dancers.

The works in the exhibition reflect the everyday life of the students of the Ballet Department of the National Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis School of Arts. Vaiva Abromaitytė who works in a variety of artistic media seeks to develop a holistic expression of the body and movement in her "flesh and matter" photographs. In them it is as if you are reading the French philosopher Deleuze's sayings about "the fold" and the complexity of man nature and the universe. The artist emphasises a distinctive visual language where the play between the void the body and the material light and shadow is of exceptional aesthetic importance.

The exhibition is dedicated to the upcoming 100th anniversary of the Lithuanian Ballet and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the National Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis school of arts (NČMM).
