August 10, 2007 | | Zilvinas Kempinas |
Lithuania-born artist Zilvinas Kempinas creates site-specific installations that re-contextualize materials such as video tape to transform physical space into utter illusion. The physical and optical impact on the viewer is caused by precise geometry of structure and light. Illusions of speed and vibration are echoed through the space to accentuate the architecture and provide a new way of experiencing a usually familiar and non-descript space. The artist has been living and working in New York since the completion of his MFA at Hunter College (2002). Kempinas has experienced rapid growth since his entire 2006 exhibition at the Spencer Brownstone Gallery was purchased for the Margulies Collection in Miami. After several successful international exhibitions, the artist has been offered two upcoming major museum exhibitions with the Contemporary Art Center in Vilnius, Lithuania, in June and Kunsthalle in Vienna in 2008. The artist will also participate in the Atelier Calder in Sache, France, from January to June 2008.
