Description:This exhibition provides a selection of recent film and video works by emerging contemporary artists from Lithuania and is presented as part of a programme of events celebrating European enlargement. Using both documentary and fiction, the works explore the routines, preoccupations and habits of Lithuania's younger generation - those most profoundly affected and influenced by the country’s independence, gained in 1990. The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe left a lot of empty plinths as the regime’s figureheads were toppled from power. Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania and a few kilometres south of the official centre of Europe, was at the heart of one of the most violent transitions from Communist rule in 1991. So it was appropriate that its young generation should want to replace the busts of Lenin and Marx with someone whose views were more commensurate with their own. Somewhat bewilderingly, a bust of the singer Frank Zappa was commissioned from a sculptor previously known for his busts of Lenin and installed on top of a steel column in the centre of the city. Lithuanian empathy with western musical margins had precedent in The Grateful Dead sponsoring the country’s basketball team in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. On beating the Russians to win a bronze medal, the team wore t-shirts given to them by the band.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
