2016 – 2017

The city is often seen as the antithesis of nature: we go “searching” fornature in the countryside, woods or mountains. Citynature: Vilnius and Beyond offers a radically different approach. It perceives the city as an ecosystem, in which Homo sapiens, despite being the dominant element, is not the author. According to the creators of the exhibition,while dwelling in the city, we still live in nature, and we have to deal with its laws in the most unexpected ways.
This exhibition combines art and science: it presents five new contemporary works of art, created by artists in collaboration with scientists;and six scientific studies, accompanied by creative visual presentations, which were developed by scientists in collaboration with the exhibition curators
