Algirdas and Remigijus Gataveckas' exhibition "Code: I am"

Exhibitions

Kupiškis Museum kindly invites you to the opening of the exhibition "Code: I Am" at the museum 🖼

In the exhibition, Algirdas and Remigijus Gataveckai explore the relationship of the individual with the institution – a structure that organizes everyday life, establishes norms of behavior and defines a person’s place in the system. The institution here operates through mechanisms of coercion, order, supervision, protection and control. Coercion also includes interventions carried out in the name of care, education, treatment or security.

The authors' personal experience becomes a starting point for examining the impact of these mechanisms on a person. One of the main codes of the exhibition is the five-point tattoo, which originated in prison culture and is widespread in the environment of children's homes. The middle dot marks the individual within four walls. This structure is repeated in the works and in the exhibition space, involving the viewer as well.
