I revise my yellow for the second solstice to turn it into green is a performance by Rūta Junevičiūtė.
In this performance the artist will revisit a sculpture created five years ago for a solo exhibition—a visual embodiment of a self-censoring thought-form, hesitant, opaque, and shaped by the poetics of miscommunication inherited from a legacy of authoritarian mistrust. Originally shown at the National Gallery of Art (formerly the Revolution Museum), the sculpture was later relocated to Valakampiai, opening up new dialogues about site-specificity, public space, maintenance, and the artist’s own vulnerability. During this ceremony, the artist reads a letter to the sculpture, unfolding layers of emotion, memory, and unresolved tensions, while a dancer—described as a teen spirit accomplice—interacts with the form through movement, testing and translating its complexity.
The movement research for this work is carried out by Drovilė Krutulytė and Barbora Groblytė.
The performance will take place at the site of a sculpture she originally created for her solo exhibition Aesopica at the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius, Lithuania and which has been moved to river Neris beach ever since as a public sculpture.
