Interviu „The Good Neighbour“ menininkė Urtė Janus dalijasi savo kūrybiniu keliu ir apmąsto nuolatinį medžiagiškumo, laiko bei sudėtingo meno ir aplinkos santykio tyrinėjimą. Ji kalbasi su mumis rinkdama kaulus, akmenis ir plastiko gabalėlius Temzės pakrantėje ir eksperimentuodama si rūgštimi savo studijoje Londone.

Urtė Janus is a London-based Lithuanian artist, whose multidisciplinary approach stems from a photography degree, gradually evolving into video art, sculpture, and set design. Her latest work, “All the Seas Long Gone,” displayed at the National Gallery of Art as part of the JCDecaux Prize exhibition until December 3, 2023 reflects her journey in finding diverse forms of artistic expression.

Janus recently completed a year-long residency at the Alexander McQueen Sarabande Foundation before pursuing an Art and Ecology MA at Goldsmiths. There she continues her experimental approach, blending theoretical insights with sensory perception. Janus’ introspective and interdisciplinary approach prompts discussions on the ephemeral nature of art, disrupting traditional perceptions of artistic longevity and engaging with broader ecological and existential dialogues.
