Artudio is pleased to present Textile Scripts, an art exhibition bringing together four Lithuanian artists whose practices expand the field of contemporary textile art: Laima Oržekauskienė-Ore, Monika Žaltauskaitė Grašienė-Žaltė, Lina Jonikė, and Gerda Liudvinavičiūtė.
The exhibition approaches textile as a sensual language—one with its own grammar, rhythm, and breath—capable of shaping narratives through cloth. Here, textile is not only a medium, but a mode of thinking and relating through acts of making. Materials themselves emerge as nonhuman agents, activating situations that we inhabit, move through, and become entangled within.
Working across diverse techniques, the artists reveal the inherently polyphonic nature of textile. Their works carry deep strata of Lithuanian cultural memory, mythic imagination, and enduring relationships with the natural world, while also engaging with the textures of everyday life and embodied experience.
Curated by Odeta Žukauskienė, the exhibition unfolds through four textile micro-narratives—dialogic, spatial, and gestural. Together, these works open speculative and sensory frameworks for understanding the tactile relations that bind us, traversing the physical and the spiritual, the human and the more-than-human.
The Exhibition is made possible with the support of the Lithuanian Council for Culture,.
