Theory Objects Vilnius Academy of Arts 19 April 2019, 1300–1600

Theory Objects is an exhibition, discussion and celebration of ‘theory objects’ enacting philosophies and publishing strategies of postconceptualism, memetics and FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software).

Theory Objects launches a range of self-replicating manifestations (events, actions and things) designed to be copied, modified and shared, including: a manifesto for the grass snake, a movement for ‘fullysleeping’, a comparison machine for conspicuous waste, a DIY hydrofoil wing, mutant plastic fish, the feminist bob, the death of choice, chonk abuse and the ultimate hangover cure.

A project led by Joshua Trees in collaboration with VDA students (MA Visual Communication Design and BA Graphic Design): Noatė Atkočiūnas, Kotryna Abromaityte, Ona Vėliūtė, Monika Šumauskaitė, Austė Dzikaraitė, Lina Vaiškūnaitė, Aurelija Slapšytė, Domas Cibas, Juta Kibildytė.

Performance Society is a compilation of critical and performance writing on Performance.

Experience has moved to the centre of cultural, economic and political action. Technology, its catalyst. Fantasies, Feelings and Fun, its currency. Postdigital selves enact the Aesthetics of Existence. Art as Life. Work as Play. Sign as Reality. Welcome to Performance Society.

Artists and designers revisit notions of performativity and myth-making in relation to contemporary society and current affairs, drawing new parallels between theatre, performance art and graphic design.
