Event overview
Organised by the Department of Art
Raimundas Malašauskas, born in Vilnius, Lithuania, “curates in the world, writes occasionally”, has a distinctively reflexive approach to writing and curating drawing from hypnosis and poetry and other diverse modes of language and communication. From 1995 to 2006, he worked at the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, where he produced the first two seasons of the weekly television show CAC TV, an experimental merger of commercial television and contemporary art that ran under the slogan “Every program is a pilot, every program is the final episode.” He curated ‘Black Market Worlds’, the IX Baltic Triennial, at CAC Vilnius in 2005. From 2007 to 2008, he was a visiting curator at California College of the Arts, San Francisco, and a curator-at-large of Artists Space, New York. In 2007, he co-wrote the libretto of Cellar Door, an opera by Loris Gréaud produced in Paris. Malašauskas curated the exhibitions ‘Sculpture of the Space Age’, David Roberts Art Foundation, London (2009); ‘Into the Belly of a Dove’ Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City (2010); and ‘Repetition Island’, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2010). His most recent curatorial projects include: ‘Oo’ the Lithuanian and Cyprus Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale, Italy (winner of a special mention amongst the National Participation); Time curator of the 9th Mercosul Biennial 'Weather Permitting', Porto Alegre, Brazil; 'Hypnotic Show' presented at dOCUMENTA 2013; ‘Tomorrow night I walked to a dark black star’, Universidad Di Tella, Buenos Aires (2014); 'In My Previous Life I Wanted To Be a Tablet', Instituto de Vision, Bogota (2015); ‘Paper Exhibition’ a book of Malašauskas' selected writings, was recently published by Sternberg Press.
