In addition to the fourteen artists who have already started their creative interpretations for the project “Modernism for the Future 365/360” implemented by the programme “Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022”, two more were selected for international residencies: Shay Zilberman, a master of graphic collage from Tel Aviv (Israel), and Rokas Mikšiūnas, a promoter of architectural and cultural heritage and creator of the LEGO models from Kaunas.
Shay Zilberman will create interpretations of the modernist architecture in Kaunas, while Rokas Mikšiūnas will do the same in Tel Aviv. The artists will start working already in early summer.
Other artists from various disciplines will interpret the modernist architecture in 8 local and 7 international residencies in Kaunas, Lviv (Ukraine), Kortrijk (Belgium) and Brno (Czechia), and from now also in Tel Aviv.
The result of the work of these artists creating in 17 artistic residencies will be presented to the public in 2022 in Kaunas, at the opening events of the European Capital of Culture.
The project “Modernism for the Future 365/360” is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme.
