Raimundas MALASAUSKAS (Lithuania), CHANG Fang-Wei (Taiwan)

Raimundas MALASAUSKAS works as a curator and writer. His curatorial work explores as much as new artistic practices as forms of exhibition making. He has presented art exhibitions through séances—his Hypnotic Show and variety performances, such as in his Clifford Irving Show. His writing combines his interest in contemporary art, music, culture, food, history, rumors, time travel, among other subjects.
Malašauskas worked as one of the agents of dOCUMENTA(13), and curated oO, the pavilions of Lithuania and Cyprus in 55th Venice Biennale. Previous to this, he was curator of the Satellite exhibition series at the Jeu de Paume Museum in Paris in 2010-2011; a curator at Artists Space, New York in 2007 to 2009; and, visiting curator at California College of the Arts, San Francisco in 2007 to 2008. From 1995 to 2006, Malašauskas worked at the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, where he curated numerous exhibitions, including the IX Baltic Triennial, Black Market Worlds (2005). There, he also co-produced the first two seasons of the weekly television show CAC TV, an experimental merger of commercial television and contemporary art, which ran under the slogan: Every program is a pilot, every program is the final episode. Among Malašauskas’ independently curated exhibitions are: Sculpture of the Space Age, David Roberts Art Foundation, London (2009); Into the Belly of a Dove, Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2010); and, Repetition Island, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2010). He is also co-author of the libretto Cellar Door, an opera by Loris Gréaud produced by the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2007). Paper Exhibition, a book of Malašauskas' selected writings, was published by Sternberg Press.
