Gintaras Didžiapetris by Adam Carr
Deliberately eschewing a few key methods of dissemination synonymous with the communication of contemporary art and the promotion of an artist’s career — the artist insists on no biography and has a pessimism for interviews —, after glancing at Gintaras Didžiapetris’s oeuvre, one realizes that the artist’s work takes a similar path; it shares a similar air of resistance, while remaining almost silent, camouflaged even.
Strikingly apparent from a first view or take of Didžiapetris’s work is the strange quality it imbues, rendering it somewhat difficult to pinpoint the generation from which he has emerged. Due to the specific apparatus that the artist uses — namely archaic equipment — and the work’s angle on the legacy of conceptual art, its particular aesthetic and at times its subject matter, which appears to be allied in many ways with Lithuania, the work could paradoxically be positioned in the past and equally the present day.
