Raimundas Malašauskas. Photo Finish
2011.XI.25 - 2012.I.15
CAC Vilnius
… The project is made up from at least six elements - a book, several curated days, a radio program, a chair, a hologram exhibition and Vilnius Sling (or The Old Cobbler of Vilnius), a new cocktail authored by Jody Monteith.
The recipe for Vilnius Sling was devised through several synesthetic translations - its name first appeared in a book by Jason Doge, letters then turned into colors, colors transformed into flavors and flavors gradually merged into an exclusive drink to be savored for the first time on the opening night.
And then there’s the hologram. In 1982, Peter Ustinov’s theater play Photo Finish was staged in Vilnius with several actors simultaneously playing one character (Sam) at different stages of his life. A group of actors from that 1982 production (Antanas Šurna, Arūnas Storpirštis, Gerardas Žalėnas, Elvyra Žebertavičiūtė, Kristina Andrejauskaitė) were invited to the hologramic space recently orchestrated by Raimundas Malašauskas with various shapes and visions and several works by Fia Backström, Gintaras Didžiapetris, Elena Narbutaitė and Rosalind Nashashibi.
The holograms will sit on a custom-made chair co-produced by Gediminas G. Akstinas, Liudvikas Buklys, Antanas Gerlikas and Jurgis Paškevičius.
In the morning of the opening day, around 9 am, the group of actors will take part in an improvised conversation-turning-into-a-play together with Audrey Cottin, Marius Cechanavičius, Gerda Paliušytė and Inesa Pavlovskaitė. This will be aired on the National Radio’s Klasika broadcast. Tune into 105.1 FM if in Vilnius.
During the exhibition several days will come with a score attached to them. In case you want to be around when this happens, drop a line to raimay@gmail.com and register. The days will be curated by Rūta Junevičiūtė and Monika Lipšic.
A catalogue of examples and 50 different alphabets will be printed before the show is over.
