Presence migrates

Online workshop with John Hopkins
The expression of presence is an essential characteristic of the self-organized body-system. Presence is the announcement of be-ing and viability and requires first an inflow and then an outflow of energies from the body system through the conversion of energies from one form to another. This conversion process alters the entire fabric of local existence. Migration of the embodied and energized organism changes everything around it. What do you change around you? What is changed by those around you?
Shared presence is a dialogue of transformation and change. It is the crux of be-ing.

Migrating Migration?
Checking a Globalized Conception

Workshop with Matze Schmidt & Dominik Eggermann
Migration is a complex of real people’s movements, theoretical approaches and economical as well as political factors. Currently it seems to be an augmented term which connotes ‘everything and nothing’. Is it flowing data, is it the jet-set nomades, is it the action at the european borders? The topic Migration is migrating itself, so to speak! But what is clear that it is a process of actual happenings, theory and ideology. In a 2x90 min. workshop all participants are invited to find out ways how to build a working index of migrating as a matter of fact. The result could be a 2d-map to explore the scientific parts of the ~whole subject.

Traces. Photo installation, 1999 - 2008.

The Traces cycle, which began evolving in 1999, places its focus on territories inhabited by people. The exploration and transformation of urban spaces is connected to the organization, migration, communication, and self-awareness of communities and individuals. “Traces” seeks to mark the outer limits of personal experiences in the present situation.

The work is not a representative city panorama but rather a hyper textual telling about the space where people live. The story does not have the central axis and focuses on the possibility to experience the same space over and over again.

Gytis Skudžinskas - Born in 1975 in Lithuania, works and lives in Palanga/ Klaipeda. In 1999 - 2003 he studied at Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts, Klaipeda Department of Visual design, in 2005 he was awarded the MA of visual arts. Since 1999 he has taken part in group exhibitions and since 2001 he has been supervising different visual art projects in Western Lithuania. In 2006 he became a member of Lithuanian Photography Union. In 1995-2005 he took part in the art action group SaliKApalikau (aka Ensemble SP).

In his works the author uses different forms of expression - photography, drawing and installation. In the recent times he chooses photography more often - the way of constructing the view which allows not only to create a piece of art but also a multilayer presentation with the shade of authentic documentary.
