Residents

Beatričė Mockevičiūtė is a younger generation artist with an acutely sensitive eye for the world around her. Working with everyday and industrial materials, she redirects their ordinary purpose — turning them into subtle instruments of observation. Her practice is bound to the possibility of sensing what is usually transparent and ephemeral in daily life: apartment blocks visited by reflections of sunlight, or the canvas covers of freight trucks billowing in the wind — meticulously made by human hands, yet simultaneously autonomous and unpredictable. The gaze is her primary instrument, one that allows her to recognise and name such overlooked characters of everyday existence. She holds an MFA from the Vilnius Academy of Arts and received the Young Artist’s Award at ArtVilnius ’16.
