Lina Lapelytė (United Kingdom/Lithuania)
Lina Lapelytė
is an artist living and working in London, UK and Vilnius, Lithuania. She holds a BA in classical violin, a BA in sound arts and an MA in sculpture from the Royal College of Art in London. Her performance-based practice is rooted in music and flirts with pop culture, gender stereotypes, aging and nostalgia.
During her residency at the U–jazdowski Lina Lapelytė will be working on a performance entitled Sun and Sea (by Lina Lapelytė, Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė and Vaiva Grainytė) and its new extended version that will be presented at the Lithuanian pavilion at the Venice Art Biennial in 2019.
