On 26 and 27 July, a new community event space, the OVEN PAVILION, will be opened in the SODAS 2123 🥨🔥
The OVEN PAVILION is an interactive architectural sculpture, serving as a public space for community gatherings, education, events, and other activities.
This work is a collaboration between interdisciplinary artist Kamilė Krasauskaitė and architects Ona Lozuraitytė and Petras Išora. The structure harmoniously combines the ideas of the three creators, functionality, and the surrounding environment – integrating the oven, the architects’ pavilion around it, and the space it occupies. This project, part of the Vilnius City Municipality’s Create Vilnius (Kuriu Vilnių) programme, reflects the needs of the local communities, creating a new focal point in the city that activates and enhances public space.
The inauguration of the OVEN PAVILION will feature a diverse programme of public events curated by Krasauskaitė, extending throughout the summer and autumn. It is envisioned that the Oven Pavilion will become a unique landmark in Vilnius, bridging food culture, interdisciplinary art, and community interests. It will also offer an alternative for meaningful outdoor recreational activities and serve as a cosy hub for events and gatherings initiated by communities and cultural enthusiasts.
🥨 On 26 July, starting from 6pm, artist Andrej Polukord will assist in launching the pavilion and bake the first loaf of bread.
🥨The programme will then proceed with a performative dinner by Café Müller (Tauras Stalnionis) and Živilė Mantrimaitė, followed by a musical programme at the Estafetė bar in the SODAS 2123 complex.
🥨On 27 July, at 4pm, after the ignition of the first fire, artist Robertas Narkus will invite visitors to a performative picnic.
From 6pm YAUYA sauna sessions. Guests need to bring a towel, bathing suit and slippers. Firewood contribution – 5€.
🥨 The entire inauguration programme of the OVEN PAVILION will be complemented by sounds streamed by Radio Vilnius.
➡️ All events are free of charge and open to all visitors.
