“BECOME THE OWNER OF MEDITATION”
Exhibition “BECOME THE OWNER OF MEDITATION”
Exhibition artist: Tomas Lagūnavičius
When? 2026.01.12–2026.01.30
This art exhibition invites visitors into a slow, personal experience in which viewing becomes an inner act. The paintings function not only as visual objects but also as impulses for reflection, encouraging each viewer to establish an individual relationship with the artwork. The exhibition explores the intersections of art, performativity, and spiritual practices, raising questions about the boundaries of ownership in contemporary culture: is it possible to “own” not only a material artwork, but also a state of being, a sensation, or an inner experience that emerges in the moment of viewing?
The project is grounded in a post-structuralist philosophical tradition in which meanings are not fixed—they unfold through the viewer’s experience and interpretation. Here, not only the visual impression is important, but also the relationship between the artwork and the observer. The artist’s concept expands the notion of the art object, shifting it from a material form into the realm of experience, where the artwork exists only insofar as it is perceived, lived through, and given meaning.
The exhibition functions as a silent performance in which the viewer is not a passive observer, but a conscious participant in the experience. Ownership is understood here not as acquisition, but as an inner connection and a deliberate choice to give attention. In this way, a dialogue is created about the value of art, personal relationship, and the transformation of ownership in contemporary culture.
