Lina Lapelytė
Lina Lapelytė (Kaunas, 1984) bases her performance practice on music and flirts with pop culture, gender stereotypes and nostalgia. Her works involve both trained and untrained performers, often through singing across a wide range of genres such as pop music and opera. The singing takes the form of a collective and affective event that questions vulnerability and silencing.
In 2019 her collaborative performance work Sun & Sea (Marina) received the Golden Lion award at the Venice Art Biennale. Recent and upcoming exhibitions include Cartier Foundation, Paris; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; RIBOCA2 - Riga Biennale; Tai Kwun, Hong Kong; Glasgow International; Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Brussels; Kaunas Biennale, Lithuania; Pompeii Commitment and Castello di Rivoli, Italy.
