The closing of the exhibition-installation “Giuseppe Zevola: Ex Libris” will take place on 8 August at 4.30 p.m. in Franciszek Smuglewicz Hall of Vilnius University Library (Universiteto str. 3).
During the event, you will have the opportunity to see the performance of “ORCHESTRA FUTURA” conducted by percussion master Dalius Naujokaitis.
Giuseppe Zevola (b. 1952), the artist of the exhibition, lives and works in Naples. He is a philosopher, poet, creator of performances, musical performer, and public reader. The exhibition “Ex Libris”, which was open to visitors from 19 June, is an installation by Zevola created specifically for the old reading room of Vilnius University Library.
The exhibition “Ex Libris” is the second personal artist’s exhibition in Vilnius. Objects created by the artist are original, multi-layered collages of images placed on various surfaces: paper, foil, fabric, and book models. Cultural, religious, and social layers of images overlap in Zevola’s artistic pieces, thus creating new visual layers of meanings that enhance the aesthetic and emotional impact of his works. The mirrored surfaces of the prints catch reflections, and the surfaces of the collages change with the changing position of the viewer, thus expanding the boundaries of the visuality of the exhibits. Giuseppe Zevola’s works create a dialogue with the old books and engravings of Vilnius University Library, immersing the viewer in the multi–layered world of old books.
