At 4 p.m. on Friday, 5 December, the Rothko Museum will open its winter season with five new exhibitions exploring humour, presence, technology, and the shifting nature of contemporary experience. From introspective painting and dreamlike landscapes to porcelain shaped by both hand and machine, the season brings together voices from Lithuania and beyond, offering viewers a contemplative passage through the winter months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meda Norbutait\u0117 \u2013 Wedge
\n<\/strong>Lithuanian artist, curator, and educator Meda Norbutait\u0117 uses irony and grotesque to probe the social anxieties of contemporary life \u2013 our fears and expectations, jealousies and insecurities, inflated egos and self-doubt. Humour becomes both her language and her lens for exploring the dilemmas of today\u2019s masked and performative self.<\/p>\n

Art researcher Dr. Evelina Janu\u0161kait\u0117 observes:\u00a0\u201cIn an age when social media offers almost endless channels for connection and floods our vision with images, Norbutait\u0117\u2019s clowning becomes a wedge \u2013 a means to prise open the rigid frames that confine us so we can laugh at ourselves and rediscover a sense of freedom. Spanning the full range of emotion, the exhibition invites us to recognise and awaken the clown within \u2013 the self that reflects, opens up, critiques, loves, plays, errs, dares, and begins again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Solveiga Gutaut\u0117 \u2013 Genius Loci<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lithuanian painter Solveiga Gutaut\u0117 creates atmospheric spaces where shadow, silence, and quivering light become experiences in themselves. Unfolding on the threshold between day and dusk, dream and awareness, memory and today, her \u201cshadow painting\u201d is influenced by the meditative rhythms of Ryuichi Sakamoto\u2019s music and invites viewers into a slower, more intuitive mode of perception.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s curator M\u0101ris \u010ca\u010dka calls the exhibition a soft yet powerful reminder that\u00a0\u201cart does not need to be understood. It is enough to let it happen and to linger, for a while, within its quiet breath.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rokas Dovyd\u0117nas \u2013 Porcelain and the Machine
\n<\/strong>Doctor of Arts, interdisciplinary artist and curator Rokas Dovyd\u0117nas, Lithuania, traces European porcelain\u2019s evolving language across three centuries, focusing on the meeting of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary digital solutions. Drawing on historical vase forms and the inventive spirit of pioneers like Johann Friedrich B\u00f6ttger, he asks how porcelain\u2019s meaning shifts when the hand yields part of its authority to algorithmic design and robotic fabrication.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing Limoges porcelain fired at 1250\u00b0C, my works follow the blanc-de-Chine tradition of white vessels with transparent glaze. Yet their creation belongs to a new era: designed with computer modelling and produced by 3D clay printers, they embody the meeting of centuries-old material with robotic precision,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the artist says.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Diana Rudokien\u0117 \u2013 Dream Topographies
\n<\/strong>Lithuanian artist Diana Rudokien\u0117 explores the fragile boundary between the visible and the unseen, guided by an enduring fascination with memory, transformation, and the subconscious. Using translucent layers of oil and subtle tonal shifts, she creates dreamlike spaces where figures dissolve into atmosphere and light, suggesting inner landscapes shared across human experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the half-light between sleep and waking, images surface \u2013 shifting, dissolving, reappearing. Painting becomes a map of the unseen, tracing the delicate borders between dream and perception. In mapping my dream topographies, I invite viewers to recognise fragments of their own,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the artist notes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tensions and Transitions: Navigating the Boundaries of Being
\n<\/strong>Produced by Pashmin Art Consortia, Germany, the exhibition brings together Zhang Dawo, Peter Backhaus, Horst Wagner, Fant Wenger, Reinhard Hanke, Holger Dempwolff, Sonia Parchet, and Anna van den H\u00f6vel \u2013 eight artists whose works reflect the emotional and spiritual transitions of our rapidly changing world. Blending abstraction, expressionism, and a sense of the transcendent, the exhibition invites viewers to consider the shifting boundaries of personal and collective identity and to reflect on the struggles of modern existence \u2013 alienation, pursuit of meaning, and thirst for connection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exhibition Dates and Opening Night
\n<\/strong>The Rothko Museum\u2019s winter season runs from 5 December 2025 to 8 February 2026. At the same time, until 1 February 2026, visitors can still enjoy two autumn season\u2019s exhibitions \u2013 \u201cMartinsons Award 2025\u201d and \u201cMatchstick in the Sand\u201d by Milena Pir\u0161telien\u0117, Lithuania.<\/p>\n

Admission to the new exhibitions is free on opening night.<\/p>\n

The Rothko Museum\u2019s winter exhibition season was prepared in partnership with the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Ceramics and Pashmin Art Consortia, with valued support from the State Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia, Daugavpils City Council, Panev\u0117\u017eys City Municipality Cultural and Art Grant, and \u201cCaparol\u201d.<\/p>\n
