On Wednesday, 21 August, the OVEN PAVILION at the Sodas 2123 cultural complex invites everyone to experience artist Kipras Dubauskas’ performative dinner, Gravity Meets the Oven Pavilion: A Wild Food Tasting Feast.
Kipras Dubauskas (b. 1988) is a Vilnius-based artist with a background in Installation Studies from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent (Belgium) and Sculpture from the Vilnius Academy of Arts. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Art at the Vilnius Academy. Dubauskas has showcased his work in solo exhibitions such as Emergency Break at FIU, Bologna (Italy, 2022), Daynighting at CAC, Vilnius (2020), and 36 Rooms at POST Gallery, Kaunas (Lithuania, 2019). He is also the founder of the analogue cinema laboratory Spongé and the artist-run restaurant Delta Mityba. Since 2007, Dubauskas has integrated culinary practices into his art, organizing over 20 events in public spaces, exhibitions, music festivals, and private gatherings. He is interested in naturally growing and wild edible products, medicinal plants, and alternative recipes, all contextualized by seasonality and local specifics.
The event is free of charge and open to all visitors.
Oven Pavilion, Cultural Complex SODAS 2123, Vitebsko Str. 21, Vilnius
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.
