What it is a hidden place? What kind of activities can be explored in hidden places and how can the space affect the activities inside of it? Is it possible to share secret places without revealing their hiddenness?
On Saturday, 29th of August in Nýló – Breiðholt, Vilnius-based artist Augustas Serpinas and curator Juste Jonutyte from Rupert – Vilnius, would like to invite you to join them for a walk along the hidden places of the Living Art Museum and share some stories along the way.
Due to the nature of the event there can be limited number of guests so we encourage people to sign up for the performance via nylo@gamla.nylo.is
