Documentation of the first “Articulations” event

On 23 March, Rupert and “Autarkia” presented a new event cycle “Articulations”.

The first edition of “Articulations” intertwined audiovisual stories from Rupert’s resident artists about their practices and conversations, followed by a special menu item from “Delta mityba”.

This event featured

Filmmaker and designer EMILIA TAPPREST (Finland/Netherlands):

In 2022, Emilia presented her dance project “Scent of Time” on the topics of exile, changing worldviews and the right to self-determination. The premiere was held in Bologna and was accompanied by a special exhibition and a public programme. In her works, she explores how designed systems, infrastructures and connections affect us in “affective’’, preconscious ways.

Artist duo MARISSA LEE BENEDICT and DAVID RUETER (USA/Netherlands):

Marissa and David recently presented their audiovisual work “a conversation between machines about Mallarmé (regarding the state of the gallery lights)”. Together they create site-adapted videos, sculptures, and drawings that intercept objects and processes, extending beyond one’s peripheral vision.

Poetry and performance maker BARNETT COHEN (USA):

Barnett came to Lithuania from New York’s The Center for Performance Research, where he introduced his performative text-based movement performance “noposition nolocation”. His anti-disciplinary practice proposes a kaleidoscopic queer surrealism.
