Lauryna Liepaite (Autumn_bride) "Theatre Dolls"
Pastels / at club "Mulen ružas" (V.M.Putino str.5)
Ten dolls from the life stage in pastel. The very idea reflects people leading different life-styles and having different characters, who, wearing the clothes of puppet-play and on the strings, fully depend on the puppet master. For me it bears my own and particular meaning: puppets are individual characters residing in each of us, and each time, suffering or overcoming any special challenges, we keep burying one doll from this life-stage."

 


Justas Vėbra "Jie" (They)
Graphics / "Lietuvos aidas gallery" (Žemaitijos str.11)
Justas Vėbra is pursuing his MA degree in Graphics at Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts. "In my creative work, the following themes are important to me: existentialist humanity topics, the issue of moral relativity, and contemporary revaluation of values in each and every step. I also find interesting the doubt generating meanings and livening people."



Tomas Urbelionis (ZNZ)
Sculpture / at Festivalio club (Ašmenos str.10)
Student of photography, who embarked on sculpture art a year ago. "Modelling these human sculptures, I make use of a variety of household waste I found at home as well as screws, TV-set, cables, broken speakers and old papers. I have engaged in sculpture because of the lack of models I could take pictures of in any way I prefer."

 


Khaterin (Kriterijus) "The pure morning"
Photography / at Festivalio club (Ašmenos str.10)
London resident of Lithuanian descent who has spent nearly all of her life abroad. Khaterina takes pictures since she was 16 years and lately has started to paint. "During my travels in Europe, I discovered special places inducing extraordinary moods. I am trying to grasp invisible spirit of the Universe, and the surreal world surrounding us. I do love to take pictures of people, eerie places, to employ weird colours…"



Marijonas Savickis
"The horizon of dream"
Painting / at Festivalio club (Ašmenos str.10)
Exhibition of art works coming from a vocalist of SAPROPHYTES band. He will unveil the unseen spiritual worlds of the debut groups album "Marionette", which have been one of the biggest gothic scene surprises last year...

 



Mindaugas Steponavičius
(Mėnulis) "Breathing Frost"
Photography / at club "Mulen ružas" (V.M.Putino str.5)
Mindaugas dedicates his leisure time to painting and photography mainly, also studies the history of arts and philosophy. "In my pictures I try to deliver what we feel - anxiety, melancholy, romantics... Expressive nature sites and architecture inspires me giving an esoteric feeling. And cold breaths from these pictures, becoming the source of devotion, or, sometimes, imprisoning in its worlds, full of darkness and melancholy."

/on the second night of the festival, during the concert
This is a debut fashion collection of a young designer Me.W, student of Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts. The collection stresses mysterious, elegant and original lines of the clothes. Marie is charming and feminine, boldly showing skin-tight body lines matched with military accessories. The colour range of the collection reminds of the stormy sea landscape: black velvet skies, dark blue waves, the glister of wet rocks
