November 8th 15:00-18:00 Gabrielė Dužinskytė’s Baltic Sea Monopoly game session (more information below).
The group exhibition of the 5th season of the Architektūros fondas Experiments’ Platform “Reflecting Abundance: Acts of Unfolding the Space” invites to witness the outcomes of 8-month-long process of developing experiments, during which four platform participants, accompanied by their mentors, embarked on a journey of slow observation, looking for sensitive methods to expand the boundaries of perception of ever accelerating and expanding urban layers.
Leaning on the new materialism and post-growth theories, the project curators invited participants to try and grasp the very essence of things in the whirlpool of endless production and welcome a different perception of sufficiency. What is abundance in the contemporary world? How much is enough? Architectural practice is closely related to materiality, but how can we act with what is already there while flexibly embracing the constant flux in the built environment?
The exhibition presents experimental projects of four platform participants and accompanying archival process material:
Laura Norkūnaitė “Urban Velocities”, mentor Vano Ksnelashvili
Gabrielė Dužinskytė “Economies of Wasteland”, mentor Paula Veidenbauma
Guoda Šulskytė “Windcatcher for Exhausted Winds”, mentor Indrė Umbrasaitė
Erik Vojevodin “Public Bath”, mentor Tuomas Toivonen
On November 8th, 15:00 we invite you to join the game session of “Monopoly of the Baltic Sea” created by exhibition participant Gabrielė Dužinskytė. It is a board game that presents a critical look at the extractive processes taking place in the Baltic Sea, and invites to get into different roles – from developers to sea algae – to reconsider the values of this body of water and the impact of inert economic processes on its future.
