Today in the evening I returned home full of impressions, but quite tired. So I fell asleep on a sofa immediately. In an hour a phone woke me up telling that picnic was over and Jenga would be brought to me soon. It had been so that after fruit’n'vegetable picnic at the river Spree, I went to the opening of a new exposition in “Talka” gallery. I wanted to communicate with my people as well as to create new relations with Latvians who own the gallery. Funtastically, they still had works of “MoyToy” from “Pictopia” festival. I didn’t hesitate to purchase Lithuanian urbanistic “Graso” keychain. I WOOD LOVE. (This was the introduction about Pictopia festival)
Two weeks ago “Pictopia” festival started in Berlin. That’s the first world-wide large-scope presentation of art and design of simplified and abstract characters. At first, there was a party at the “Weekend club“. Unfortunately, I didn’t meet any participants from Lithuania there. The next evening there was an official opening celebration in “the House of World Cultures“. Unfortunately, I didn’t meet any Lithuanians there too. But I filmed everything and talked to some other interesting optimistic people. Later the expositions of the festival were shown in 30 different galleries and public spaces of Berlin for a few days. The main exposition in “the House of World Cultures” will be working till the 3rd of May. If you come to Berlin, you should certainly visit that.
But if you don’t have Berlin in the plans for this month, I offer you to check a virtual travel through the opening celebration and a few galleries:
It was very pleasant to have Lithuanians participating in this international festival. High five to Gediminas Šiaulys, Nathan Jurevičius, and initiatives of urban arts “MoyToy“.
