Meno Parkas Gallery is pleased to present Route 66, a solo exhibition by Aleksas Andriuškevičius. This exhibition invites viewers to engage with a deeply personal yet universal meditation on movement, transformation, and the relentless flow of experience.

Reflecting on his lifelong journey as an artist, Andriuškevičius describes the exhibition as a metaphor for inner energy - a force that propels him forward through the ever-accumulating weight of experience. "The whips of experiences are the baggage that accompanies me on my life journey. So I show those whips as a metaphor for my inner energy, pushing me forward," says the artist.

Route 66 draws this process inward, channeling personal history into momentum. The title gestures toward movement, continuity, and a sense of place that is as much psychological as it is physical. Andriuškevičius isn’t retracing steps but mapping out the ways experience accumulates, pushes, and sometimes pulls an artist forward. His work suggests that translation is never just about form; it is shaped by the forces acting upon it, the weight of past actions, and the unpredictable shifts that keep an artistic practice alive.

Aleksas Andriuškevičius has never been one for empty spectacle. While his association with Post Ars (an artists' group formed in 1989) links him to some of the most radical gestures in Lithuanian contemporary art, his practice has always been more about the friction between material, action, and meaning than about provocation for its own sake. Emerging from the experimental and performative currents of the late 1980s, he has spent decades shifting between mediums, breaking down artistic conventions, and testing the limits of form. His work has often been defined by a process of translation—transforming music into drawing, action into sculpture, and material into metaphor—forcing one medium to speak in the language of another.
