Il Numogramma Decimale

H.P. Lovercraft, Arthur Conan Doyle, millenarismo cibernetico, accelerazionismo, Deleuze & Guattari, stregoneria e tradizioni occultiste. Come sono riusciti i membri della Cybernetic Culture Research Unit a unire questi elementi nella formulazione di un «Labirinto decimale», simile alla qabbaláh, volto alla decodificazione di eventi del passato e accadimenti culturali che si auto-realizzano grazie a un fenomeno di “intensificazione temporale”?

Lina Lapelytė, What happens with a dead fish?
2021, installation / performance, 30min

In her artistic practice, Lina Lapelytė investigates how the pop aesthetic of music could be a vehicle for amplifying a message. In her latest work – winner of the latest Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale together with Vaiva Grainyte and Rugile Barzdžiukaite – she has created a hyper-realistic, multi-voice beach musical about global warming. For the opening of the first public open-air swimming pool in Brussels, Lina Lapelytė creates new musical performance work for local choir singers about being a fish, going down, the fragility and eternity. Brussels has no public outdoor swimming pools. Although the debate has been going on for years, last summer, with thousands of families unable to travel, access to places of leisure became even more important. For instance, who has access to the coast? What attempts are being made for privatisation and the reiteration of logics of systemic discrimination? For summer 2021, Pool is Cool and Decoratelier, with the support of the festival, make the dream of many come true by building an open-air swimming pool next to the bridge Pierre Marchant, which is set to stay open all summer. The work of Lina Lapelytė appears as a live musical for its opening days and as a sonic installation around the pool, becoming a hybrid space of bathers and spectators, with some narratives existing beneath the water’s surface.

"Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. But sharing isn’t immoral – it’s a moral imperative” (Aaron Swartz)

di Lina Lapelytė
  • Lina Lapelytė's (b.1984, works in Vilnius and London) performance-based practice is rooted in music and flirts with pop culture, gender stereotypes, and nostalgia. Her works engage trained and untrained performers often in an act of singing through a wide range of genres such as mainstream music and opera. The singing takes the form of a collective and affective event that questions vulnerability and silencing. Her collaborative work with Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė and Vaiva Grainytė, opera ​Have a Good Day!​ holds several awards and it's been touring extensively. Their durational performance work​ ​Sun and Sea (Marina)​ ​represented Lithuania at the Venice Art Biennale (2019) and received the Golden Lion award for the best national participation. The recent work​ Currents​ ​(2020) conceived together with Mantas Petraitis (Implant Architecture) is a large-scale site-specific installation and performance (​Instructions for the Woodcutters​) presented at the 2nd. Riga Bienalle - RIBOCA2. Study of Slope (2021- ongoing) is currently on view at the Tai Kwun arts center in Honk Kong and is an ongoing performative work that challenges the authoritative understanding of tonality and musicality in the Western musical tradition. Lina Lapelyte’s works were shown at the Teatro Argentina, Rome (2021); Brooklin Academy of Music, NY (2021); Tai Kwun, HK (2021), Riga Biennial - RIBOCA2 (2020), Venice Art Biennale (2019), Cartier Foundation gallery, Paris (2019); Kunsthalle Praha (2019); ​Waiting for another coming​ - CCA Ujazdowski, Warsaw (2018); ​Give up the ghost​! - Baltic Triennial, Tallinn (2018); ​Undersong​ - KIM?, Riga (2018); ​Pirouette​ - Rupert (solo show, 2017); ​Magma​, National Gallery of Art, Vilnius (2017); Moderna Museet, Malmo (2017); Listening, Hayward touring show, Great Britain (2015); Block Universe, London (2015); Park Nights, Serpentine, London (2014); Baltic CCA, Newcastle (2014); DRAF (RIA), London (2014).
