On May 11–29, the queer gallery “išgirsti” is happy to invite you to the first solo exhibition of Ieva Kotryna Ski “Intangible Connections”.
“In the corner of my eye I see you across the room, I turn my head away and feel the melting wax, burning feeling turns into the hard shell, I scrape it away. For a moment I can’t feel glass in my hand, phone does not recognize my fingerprint and I am late to take a picture, in the hasty movement it turns out blurry.”*
Ieva Kotryna Ski is an artist working between Vilnius and Paris. Ieva Kotryna holds an MA in art, research and technology from École Universitaire de Recherche ArTeC. While exploring the materiality of the digital image and its ability to convey certain emotions, her works often question our relationship to the ever-changing environment. In her practice the artist often merges different scales, varying between personal and global that also translates in the way she uses different image capturing technologies. Ieva Kotryna has shown her work at Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Cité des Arts in Paris, Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, Editorial project space, as well as the National Drama Theatre in Vilnius. In 2021, her work “Sinkhole” won the audience award at the exhibition “JCDecaux Award: Spaces”.
The exhibition runs from May 11 to 25, open on Thursdays at 4–7 PM (or by appointment via info@isgirsti.lt). Venue: išgirsti, Darbininkų g. 8–1 (apartment building, one flight up from the entrance), Vilnius. More information: www.isgirsti.lt/erdve.
Curator: Augustas Čičelis.
