The world has changed radically, and we must adapt to it quickly.
In this exhibition, visitors will encounter questions within the artworks—questions they must answer for themselves. These reflections will help reveal whether you are truly prepared for the new era that is emerging.
Come and test yourself: are you really ready for these changes, or does it only seem that way?
The most important skill is learning how to anticipate. If you cannot foresee what lies ahead, you may find yourself in difficult situations.
Challenge yourself. And once you find your answers, you may need to decide how to move forward in order to avoid those situations.
This exhibition is intended for both adults and young people who seek to anticipate, plan their future, and make meaningful changes in their lives and careers.

Curator and author of the exhibition: artist Tomas Lagūnavičius
The 21st century may become the first period in human history when human intellect loses its economic monopoly. While previous technological revolutions replaced human muscle, the artificial intelligence revolution is transforming the very status of the human mind. This is not merely a transformation of the labor market — it is an ontological crisis.
The concept of the “useless humans” does not imply biological extinction. Rather, it refers to social, economic, and ultimately existential marginalization. A person may remain alive, yet lose their civilizational function. Such a condition was already anticipated by 19th-century philosophers, but only now is it acquiring a technological foundation.
As machines begin to create texts, medicines, laws, and even strategies, the role of the human being changes — from creator to observer. This raises a fundamental question: has value in civilization always been tied to usefulness?
If so — the era of humanity is approaching its end.
If not — a new philosophy is beginning.

“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.
