Opening of the exhibition "Route 66"

The idea behind the exhibition Route 66 is quite simple. The whips of experiences are the baggage that accompanies me on my life journey. So I show those whips as a metaphor for my inner energy, pushing me forward.

Aleksas Andriuškevičius

Route 66, Aleksas Andriuškevičius latest exhibition, draws this process inward, channeling personal history into momentum. The title gestures toward movement, continuity, and a sense of place that is as much psychological as it is physical. Andriuškevičius isn’t retracing steps but mapping out the ways experience accumulates, pushes, and sometimes pulls an artist forward. His work suggests that translation is never just about form; it’s about the forces that act upon it, the weight of past actions, and the unpredictable shifts that keep an artistic practice alive.

Aleksas Andriuškevičius has never been one for empty spectacle. While his association with Post Ars links him to some of the most radical gestures in Lithuanian contemporary art, his practice has always been more about the friction between material, action, and meaning than about provocation for its own sake. Emerging from the experimental and performative currents of the late 1980s, he has spent decades shifting between mediums, breaking down artistic conventions, and testing the limits of form. His work has often been defined by a process of translation—transforming music into drawing, action into sculpture, and material into metaphor—forcing one medium to speak in the language of another.

The exhibition is part of the creative program of the Lithuanian Artists’ Association, dedicated to organisation‘s 90th Anniversary.
The exhibition financed by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and Lithuanian Artists‘ Association.
