Žodis formãcija (lot. formatio) reiškia pavidalo suteikimą, kūrimą. Pirminė formacijos reikšmė yra susijusi su uolienų sandara, susiformavusia tam tikromis tektoninio režimo ir klimato sąlygomis per ilgą geologinio laiko intervalą. Į peizažą žvelgiant per formacijos prizmę galima ieškoti būdų, kaip vis dar atsispiriant nuo plenerinio motyvo, tolti nuo jo paviršutiniškos reprezentacijos. Kitaip tariant, kuriant / perkuriant peizažą atsispirti nuo žemės sandaros konstruktų, o galbūt ir atverti juos žiūrinčiajam.
Moreover, the artistic exploration of the interaction between humans and nature, as well as the theme of the Anthropocene, is inherent to an artistic research in Kintai. A critical look at constant change and its inevitability leads to a broad interpretation of the theme of "Landscape Formations", exploring topics ranging from ecological challenges, leading to shifts in regional climate conditions and landscape transformations, to geopolitical crises resulting in mass migrations and environmental destruction. Additionally, personal challenges in the contemporary world, such as the pursuit of identity in rapidly changing environment, feelings of insecurity, and the search for existential meaning, are to be explored.
„Peizažo formacijų“ rezidencijos programa kvietė jos dalyvius pabūti su Pamariu, permąstyti jo paviršutinišką, teritoriją ar vaizdinį, apimančią, sąvoką. Žvilgsnis į peizažą veikia kaleidoskopo principu, jo daugialypiškumui atsiskleidžiant per individualias, skirtingus jo pjūvius, tiriančias, prizmes. Ši paroda – tai dvi savaites trukusios rezidencijos procesų bei apmąstymų apie tai kas yra peizažas, bei koks apčiuopiamas pavidalas gali būti jam suteikiamas, rezultatai. Peizažas čia pasireiškia įvairiai, kaip tarpdisciplininė tyrimo sąvoka, darbo metodas, o taip pat ir atminties bei laiko sąvokos tyrimas.
Visiting the exhibitions at Kintai Arts Gallery: Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM. (Outside of working hours, visits can be arranged by calling in advance: +37061238585), Kuršių St. 30, Kintai.

The term formation (Latin: formatio) signifies the act of shaping or creating. Its primary connotation pertains to the geological processes through which rocks are structured under specific tectonic and climatic conditions over prolonged periods. Viewing the landscape through the lens of formation allows for an exploration of the plein-air motif as a foundational concept while transcending its superficial representation. In essence, it involves beginning with the earth’s structural constructs when depicting a landscape and, perhaps, revealing those constructs to the viewer.
Moreover, the artistic exploration of the interaction between humans and nature, as well as the theme of the Anthropocene, is inherent to an artistic research in Kintai. A critical look at constant change and its inevitability leads to a broad interpretation of the theme of „Landscape Formations”, exploring topics ranging from ecological challenges, leading to shifts in regional climate conditions and landscape transformations, to geopolitical crises resulting in mass migrations and environmental destruction. Additionally, personal challenges in the contemporary world, such as the pursuit of identity in rapidly changing environment, feelings of insecurity, and the search for existential meaning, are to be explored.
The “Landscape Formations” residency program invited its participants to “sit” with the Pamarys region, to look at it deeper than merely as a territory or an image. The gaze upon the landscape operates like a kaleidoscope, revealing its multiplicity through personal prisms that explore its various facets. This exhibition presents the results of the two-week residency process and reflections on what a landscape is and what tangible form can be given to it. The landscape here manifests in various ways, as an interdisciplinary research concept, a working method, and also as an exploration of memory and the concept of time.
The exhibition can be visited on Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10am – 6pm, Kuršių g. 30, Kintai. For a visit outside the opening hours, please contact us to book a visit on +37061238585.
