Žilvinas Kempinas Tube was one of the first pieces that we managed to see at the Biennale. When I say 'managed' this was us somehow managing to blag ourselves into the preview of the Lithuanian opening. It was one of the works throughout the entire Biennale which we all kept talking about, and while I did not forget about it in my initial posting of my Venice musings - I simply wanted to wait until I got my photograph developed.
Please look out for this artist, as his work is so aesthetically and physically interesting and powerful, if you see his name at a gallery near you - make sure you visit...
