M. K. Čiurlionis' Crown | Culture Night

Visitors of "Culture Night" are invited to discover a unique space, born from the collaboration between Vilnius Academy of Arts (VDA) and the festival. This sculptural meeting installation is a contemporary interpretation, inspired by M. K. Čiurlionis' painting "The Fairy Tale of Kings". The rhythm of vertical wooden modules, the changing play of light and shadows, and the sacred composition transfer the mystical atmosphere of the painting into the urban space, creating a distinctive visual "pulse". The object consists of two semi-circular walls, forming an intimate space partially separated from the city bustle. It is a place not only for visual experience but also for lively dialogue – an opportunity to pause, sit down, and experience nocturnal Vilnius at a slower pace. The installation acts as a sculptural landmark, inviting passers-by to become part of the narrative and identify with the city's cultural identity. The project was prepared by third-year students of the VDA Design Department: Leonas Šėferis, Elinga Mockutė, Radasta Urbanavičiūtė, Greta Polučanskaitė, and Mantas Baužys. Project supervisor – lecturer Inesa Malafei. This work is an attempt to provide Vilnius' public spaces with new cultural content, fostering community and a deeper connection with artistic heritage.
