SUMMARY:Andrius Arutiunian and Saodat Ismailova's Exhibition "Recurse ❍"
DESCRIPTION:KKKC presents the exhibition "Recurse ❍" by internationally acclaimed art
 ists Andrius Arutiunian and Saodat Ismailova. For the first time in Klaipė
 da\, these artists – kindred spirits in creativity – explore interwoven
  themes. The exhibition runs from October 10 to December 31. It invites vis
 itors to immerse themselves in the mythology of the worlds created by Aruti
 unian and Ismailova\, related to themes such as Eastern cosmology\, includi
 ng Zoroastrianism\, folk knowledge\, alternative dimensions of time\, esote
 ricism\, life in the face of death\, the forces of nature\, and the transfo
 rmative effects of resource extraction on Earth.In the exhibition "Recurse 
 ❍"\, the circle is used in two ways – both as a recurring motif and as 
 a cipher. With the acceleration of planetary life cycles\, different histor
 ical trajectories collide and overlap\, highlighting the nonlinear dynamics
  of cultural memory. The exhibition features sound and moving image install
 ations that aim to capture elements existing on the brink of extinction. Th
 ese works reveal devastated fictitious and ancient landscapes\, shaped by t
 he ideologies that created them\, telling tales of unequal distributions of
  life.At the same time\, they reveal how life can persist after the conditi
 ons enabling it have disappeared and how death quietly lurks deep beneath t
 he world of the living. In the worlds created by Arutiunian and Ismailova\,
  contemporary life and modern belief systems merge with ancestral knowledge
  and ancient rituals\, resulting in undefined chronologies. In Ismailova's 
 film "Melted Into the Sun"\, the voice-over tells us: "Every new cycle seem
 s shorter than the previous one. Eternity has become temporary\, and tempor
 ality is our legacy." Andrius Arutiunian is an artist and composer of Armen
 ian-Lithuanian descent\, working with hybrid listening forms\, folk knowled
 ge\, and contemporary variations of cosmology. In his research\, he experim
 ents with deep time perception\, non-Western epistemologies\, and alternati
 ve methods of world order creation.You can download images of the artist’
