As part of the Lithuanian Season in France and the Contre-Sens festival in Lyon, La BF15 is delighted to present the work of artist Stasys Eidrigevicius. Alongside drawings on paper, large white canvases suspended in space spectacularly reveal the sensitivity and freedom of his visual universe. The exhibition Lignes invites us to explore the perimeter of the sheet, the canvas and poetic, geographical and political territories.
The Lithuanian Season in France, Empowered Identities and Global Neighbourhood, is an opportunity to showcase the newly-created "Stasys Museum" in Panevežys (Lithuania) and the works of one of Lithuania's most eminent artists. His masks very often evoke the theme of animism: animals, natural motifs and even household objects combine to form a single personality. His works straddle the line between metaphor, surrealism and fantasy.
The biennial event Contre-Sens takes place in even-numbered years. Limited to a small number of shows and a single question, it takes time to reflect and encourages bushwalking, exchanges and participatory forms, offering the possibility of aesthetic, sensitive and intellectual journeys during the last two weeks of October.
The theme for 2024 is "breaking down the walls", with performances, meetings, exchanges, screenings, debates and workshops on the following themes: walls between generations, walls of silence, walls between people, walls between "normality" and singularity, etc. At a time when so many walls are being built, we need to take the time to show, to share, to deny our presence and see what's happening on the other side.
