On June 3 at 6 p.m., a meeting with Gabriele Černiavskaja will take place at the “Estafetė” café-bar in the SODAS 2123 cultural complex. During the event, the exhibition architect will present her creative practice and invite attendees to a discussion about exhibition architecture as an (in)separable part of the exhibition experience.
Gabrielė Černiavskaja is an architect and exhibition architect whose practice explores space, human perception, and the relationship between exhibitions, the body, and materiality. Working across the fields of architecture, exhibition design, and contemporary art, she develops spatial interventions that function not only as structures for presenting artworks, but also as active elements shaping the viewer’s experience.
What does it mean to think of an exhibition as a body? How does materiality operate within exhibitions, and what kinds of relationships does it establish between artworks, space, and the viewer? Is architecture always necessary in exhibition-making, and if there is no exhibition architect, does the exhibition space itself become architecture?
During the talk, Gabrielė Černiavskaja will discuss her working methods, exhibition-making processes, and the ways architectural decisions influence the atmosphere, rhythm, and spatial relationships within exhibitions.
The event will take the form of an open conversation on space, construction, corporeality, and the subtle ways architecture shapes our experience of exhibitions, even when it remains almost invisible.
→ The event is free of charge and will be held in English.
The event is part of the Emerging Curators Platform (ECP), an educational and mentorship programme for emerging curators aimed at strengthening practical curatorial skills and fostering collaboration within the field of contemporary art. This year’s edition of the platform is curated by artist and curator Ona Juciūtė.
SODAS 2123 activities are funded by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and the Vilnius City Municipality.
