On February 4, 2026, at 7 p.m., the group exhibition ‘Risen Dust’ will open at Atletika Gallery (Vitebsko St. 21, Vilnius). It features works by Anna Chostegian, Saulė Noreikaitė, Monika Pakerytė, Neda Rimaitė, Aistė Marija Stankevičiūtė, and Jurga Šarapova. The exhibition is curated by Nunilo Rumbutis, Marijonas Verbel, and Viltė Barbora Vilūnaitė.
The exhibition draws the gaze to workers becoming entangled in the institutional webs. As collections of gathered works and experiences are unfolded, dust is caringly swept aflight from institutional and personal archives. Hints of passing time and forgotten dreams rise into the air, awakening investigative curiosity. Dust becomes evidence — a witness to distraction and oblivion — dancing in the light of concealed corners. Currents and draughts intertwine while carrying stories and lived experiences. Within narratives of everyday labour, grains of togetherness, shared language, and inspiration settle. This time, subtle fragilities take centre stage. What we merely skim with our eyes becomes an unavoidable hint. Emerging from mysterious boxes in varied material forms, the artworks gently scrape away the ridges of cracked and exhausted surfaces, lightly erasing traces of an imagined uprising. These blurred testimonies, carrying specks of dust deeper into the crevices of institutions, reveal internal processes. While observing the decay unfolding beneath a film of dust, a careful contemplation of timelessness emerges, revealing the grooves left by empty pursuits and meaningless tasks.
