How Heat Slides Across Surfaces

Everything fades. I remember the little jumping reflection of a sunbeam—“sun bunny”, as we call it*. In a room where you wouldn’t find a single ray of scorching sun, just the clear morning light. The bunny, meanwhile, pretending to be a circle, slowly crawls through the walls, hides behind the wardrobe, appears at the other end of it, before finally diving into the table clock and settling there. Like a ghost. How Heat Slides Across Surfaces presents Lithuanian artists actively participating in the field of contemporary art. Through sculpture, painting, textiles and printmaking, these artists explore themes of light, ritual, landscape, collectivity, isolation and social issues. The different lines and volumes of the objects on display subtly remind each other of themselves—as sharp-edged bodies, soluble and temporary forms of each other. *Saulės zuikutis (Lithuanian for ‘sun bunny’): common way of calling a little circular sunbeam reflected from a mirror.
