On Friday, June 26, at 5:00 p.m., Artist Talk with KKKC resident Beáta Kolbašovská—an artist from Slovakia who holds a master’s degree in new media—will take place at the Exhibition Hall of the Klaipėda Culture Communication Center (KCCC) (Didžioji Vandens St. 2).
In her artist talk, she will present some of her previous projects and talk about the current project she is working on here in Klaipeda. During her residency, she is exploring the city of Klaipėda in depth, and during the event she will convey what she has seen and felt through the visual arts. Her videos are currently on display at KCCC in the Fachverk hall.
Through site-specific installations, live visuals, multimedia performances, and video mapping, she creates audiovisual experiences carefully calibrated to resonate with each location’s unique atmosphere.
As co-founder of visual collective Nano VJs and Platform of Open Media Art (POMA), she fosters experimental artistic production through collaboration with artists, musicians, performers, and researchers.
Her artistic approach centers on ecology, public space, slowness, perception, and sensitivity. Ephemeral moments are essential to her practice, she uses them to create meaningful interactions where audiences slow down and engage deeply with their surroundings. Each installation is a conversation with place, present conditions through observation and resonance.
„Timelessness is not about escaping time; it is about being fully present within it. I invite audiences to experience atmospheric slowness – to notice what they typically overlook, to feel connected to both the environment and one another. Through this practice, ecological awareness becomes not an abstract concern, but a lived, shared experience“, – says Beáta Kolbašovská.
“Eternity does not mean that we escape time. In eternity, we are fully in the present. I invite you to experience atmospheric slowness: to see what we usually overlook, to feel a connection with one another and with our surroundings. In this way, we rethink ecology not in abstract terms, but as a shared, living experience.” (Beáta Kolbašovská)
