The outdoor exhibition series “Small Scale Architecture II”
In 2023, the National Gallery of Art (NDG) continues the outdoor exhibition series “Small Scale Architecture”, which started a year ago. The exhibition is dedicated to reflecting on the current state of architecture and the issues of artistic expression in architecture. Its aim is to encourage both architects and the public to take a closer look at architecture not only from a practical or utilitarian point of view but also to examine its internal dynamics and goals, allowing for freedom in experimentation and bold interpretation of context.
This year, the invited authors for the “Small Scalle Architecture II” outdoor exhibition series are architect Darius Čiuta and the architectural studio “Office De Architectura” (Jautra Bernotaitė, Andrius Ropolas, and Paulius Vaitiekūnas). Based on the creative ideas proposed by the architects, two artistic installations/interventions are exhibited next to NDG, one of the most expressive Soviet-era modernist buildings in Lithuania.
The curators of the outdoor exhibition: architect Mindaugas Reklaitis and art historian Giedrius Gulbinas.
