The Alternative Education Program offers 8–10 participants the chance to develop project ideas and make connections with professionals in the field through regular lectures and workshops. It provides the invaluable opportunity for collaborative education, forging new international networks. This degreeless, non-academic program is proudly career-oriented and supplemented by its transdisciplinary approach. Rupert’s third educational series began in October 2014 and will last until end of May 2015.
We also house a free Residency program suited to mid-career professionals working in creative capacities from bases all over the world. We welcome artists, curators, writers, thinkers, those developing social enterprises: any and all manner of projects, though our priority remains contemporary art. Residents are given a ready-made means of interacting with and assessing the thriving Lithuanian arts scene, culture and society as well as being provided with space to pause concerns and develop personal projects.
Finally, our Exhibition program explores various themes and media in works of internationally renowned artists in ways that compliment the Educational program. Exhibitions take place in and outside of the Rupert building. Gediminas G. Akstinas displayed work responding to line and language in the CAC Reading Room in central Vilnius. Further afield, a host of new Lithuanian artists were featured in Fast Flux held at Studio-X NYC in 2013 as a culmination of the Alternative Education program (III). More recently The Jerusalem of Europe, a site-specific piece of Dora Garcia, was developed for Rupert’s exhibition space, the first display of Garcia’s work in Lithuania. Additionally, Lia Perjovschi presented Knowledge Museum Kit in tandem with Dan Perjovschi’s display of Time Specific in a continuation of the pair’s longstanding practice creating points of connection between their processes and present encounters. Our last exhibition Ashes of Roses and the Smell of Birch presented work of Tamara Henderson and Bridget Currie.
