Fragrance of Lithuanian cuisine by Laime Kiskune
1-7 May 11:00 – 19:00
Laime Kiskune: “In collaboration with the food culture explorer and chef Jonas Palekas I as perfumer of Kvapu namai created a fragrance, that seeks to convey the identity of Lithuanian cuisine – a hint of humid soil and fresh air that’s saturated with the spring aroma of newly sprouting nature, which very precisely invokes a taste of a simple Lithuanian dish – white cheese and fresh blackcurrants jam on black bread.”
During the opening of the Venice Bienale International Architecture Exhibition this fragrance pervaded the Baltic pavilion, when Jonas Palekas presented his experimental food process laboratory to artists and audience.

Touch Laboratory "Weight"
Aistė Jančiūtė and the Theatre of Senses
4 and 5 May 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00
Laboratory “Weight” is an experiment-installation-performance dedicated to the sense of touch. We invite to experience the concept of the weight from the physical, artistic, psychological and philosophical perspectives.
The body as the three-dimensional object is being perceived through the touch or the dynamic of pressure. The experience of weight is the main tool to perceive physical reality. The return of attention to the body is facilitated by weight and grants the creative space to experience the (no)limits of oneself and surroundings. Gravity affects us continuously, however the conscious experience of it extends the perception of one’s own limits and surroundings.
