Raimundas Maslausksas
Raimundas Maslausksas previously curated two pavilions together into one new country in a sporting arena and received special accolades for it in Venice "Oo" Lithuanian and Cyprus Pavilions (Venice Biennale, 2013). In another ongoing project, he curates artists under hypnosis for the last 15 years (Guggenheim NY 2017, Documenta 2013) and other spaces, "Repetition Island" (Centre Pompidou, Paris, 2010). Maslausksas and Freakley have worked together before in the UK on a series of social practice works, writings, sound pieces, Liverpool Oratory crypt, tunnels and Tate (Liverpool Biennial 2016).
Rai's unique approaches to curating and writing are fantastically experimental with language, collective intelligence and roaming systems.
