The Lithuanian Pavilion Without Walls is co-organized by Performa, the Lithuanian Culture Institute, and Consulate General of the Republic of Lithuania in New York, with generous support from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania, among others. It is also generously supported by Lithuania Foundation. Together, the partners will commission and present new works by contemporary Lithuanian artists Lina Lapelytė and Pakui Hardware, as well as Performa Projects by Raimundas Malašauskas, Robert Narkus, and Augustas Serapinas.
Initiated in 2013, the Pavilion Without Walls program reflects Performa’s commitment to presenting the social, political, and artistic landscapes of different countries through live performance. Over the last decade, this curatorial platform has brought voices from Australia, Estonia, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, Finland, and Taiwan to New York audiences. Each Pavilion is developed over a two-year research period in close collaboration with cultural institutions, curators, artists, and educators from the featured country to create a dynamic and deeply contextual program.

Robertas Narkus’s project expands his ongoing exploration of virtual worlds, the performed self, and the multiplicity of identities shaped by social media and urban life in New York. Building on earlier works such as Prospect Revenge (2018-ongoing), which navigated the intersections of publicity, spectacle, and community. Narkus’s performance unfolds as a sprawling, scripted scenario.
Presented in cooperation with Rupert Center for Art in Vilnius.
Presented as part of the Lithuanian Pavilion Without Walls for the Performa 2025 Biennial and organized in collaboration with the Lithuanian Culture Institute.
