textile'11: REWIND – PLAY – FORWARD22 09 2011 – 04 12 2011 |
This Sunday citizens of Kaunas, who found themselves near Mykolas Žilinskas Art Gallery, were highly surprised. Huge poster depicting the man who jumps through the wall was being applied on the facade of the gallery. This picture is the visual style of eight Kaunas Biennial (starting this September 22), created by the group „Mamaika“ (idea – Darius Petreikis)
The location of the poster is not accidental. Mykolas Žilinskas Art Gallery is one of the main locations, where Kaunas Biennial will hold its events.
