DRAF Studio – Augustas Serapinas and his project "Dusting the Grounds"

Updated 2016-06-27

DRAF invites Lithuanian artist Augustas Serapinas for the third residency in DRAF Studio. Serapinas researched the history of the building, built in the 1870s as a furniture factory, carefully examining the current space for traces of former identities. The scars and marks on the floor of DRAF Studio, possibly the result of heavy machinery once occupying the loft, work as a map of a fictional past, a landscape that becomes populated with treated wood leftover from past projects by the Foundation. The project is enlivened by musical references from the Industrial Era, motivational songs that were believed to increase productivity and morale. Public Event: Thurs 30 Jun, 6–9pm

On 30 Jun, DRAF celebrates the end of Serapinas’ residency as the installation is opened to the public for a special evening with the artist.

Augustas Serapinas (b.1990, Vilnius) is an artist whose practice focuses on reimagining and restaging physical and social spaces through a variety of interventions, variations, and constructions. Serapinas studied at the Vilnius Academy of Arts (2009-2013) in Lithuania, spending his final year at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark. Additionally, he completed the Rupert Educational Program in Vilnius (2013-2014). Interested in the relational and non-material practices of the early 1990s, Serapinas works with spatiality as a means of exploring the encounter and inter-personal social relations. His practice reveals and reinvents both public and private spaces, to consider individual subjectivity and collective identity.

DRAF Studio is supported by Arts Council England and DRAF Galleries Circle.

Thanks to Lithuanian Cultural Institute and Emalin.
