SUMMARY:Opening of Andrius Arutiunian and Saodat Ismailova's Exhibition "Recurse �
 �"
DESCRIPTION:On October 10\, Saturday\, at 18:00\, the international exhibition "Recurse
  ❍" by renowned artists Andrius Arutiunian and Saodat Ismailova opens at 
 the Klaipėda Cultural Communication Center (KKKC) Exhibition Halls\, 2 Did
 žioji Vandens St. The exhibition runs until December 31. The artists\, exh
 ibiting their works in Klaipėda for the first time\, are like-minded souls
  in their creativity\, both exploring intertwining themes.  The exhibition 
 invites visitors to immerse themselves in the mythology of worlds created b
 y Arutiunian and Ismailova\, related to themes such as Eastern cosmology\, 
 including Zoroastrianism\, folk knowledge\, alternative dimensions of time\
 , esotericism\, life in the face of death\, nature's powers\, and resource 
 extraction leading to Earth's transformations.  In the exhibition "Recurse 
 ❍"\, the circle is used in two ways – as a recurring motif and as a cip
 her. As the life cycles of planets accelerate\, different historical trajec
 tories collide and overlap\, highlighting the nonlinear dynamics of cultura
 l memory.  The exhibition features sound and moving image installations tha
 t aim to capture elements existing on the brink of extinction. In these wor
 ks\, devastated fictional and ancient landscapes emerge\, influenced by the
  ideologies of those who created them and speaking of unequal distributions
  of life. At the same time\, they reveal how life can continue after the co
 nditions that enabled it have disappeared and how death silently lurks deep
  beneath the world of the living.  In the worlds created by Arutiunian and 
 Ismailova\, contemporary life and modern belief systems blend with ancestra
 l knowledge and ancient rituals\, creating uncertain chronologies. In Ismai
 lova's film "Melted Into the Sun\," an off-screen voice tells us: "Each new
  cycle seems shorter than the previous one. Eternity has become temporary\,
  and temporality is our legacy."  Andrius Arutiunian is an artist and compo
 ser of Armenian-Lithuanian descent\, working with hybrid forms of listening
 \, folk knowledge\, and contemporary variations of cosmology. In his resear
 ch\, he experiments with the perception of deep time\, non-Western epistemo
 logies\, and alternative methods of creating order in the world.  Saodat Is
 mailova is a filmmaker and artist\, part of the first post-Soviet generatio
 n of Uzbekistan. Weaving memories\, myths\, rituals\, and dreams into the f
 abric of everyday life\, the artist explores the historically rich and mult
 ilayered culture of Central Asia\, situated amidst different realities\, fo
 g\, and aspirations.
