"Over 120 pieces of works from Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Germany, Belgium
and Yugoslavia
were presented for evaluation. Selected for the exhibition were 55 artists with
62 pieces. In selecting participants, the board sought to reveal variety of
techniques and to satisfy the desire to enrich the exhibition by pieces from
foreign collections. The main selection criteria were, of course, the quality
and aesthetic power of the works. Most of the works selected did reflect the
nerve and spirit of present time through universal forms of expression. The
exhibition features diverse works, among them are pieces for decorating walls:
traditional tapestries, works made by binding, felting and individual artists’
techniques; three dimensional objects and conceptual works. The most abundant
was the latter group of experimental art of unconventional materials made by
innovative techniques, with less attention paid for precision. Such pieces,
however, distinguish themselves through vivid sculptural form, refined plastic
decisions or material aesthetics.”
