Abstract

In Lithuania, the era of a contemporary artist’s book began with the restoration of Independence. The year 1993 saw the opening of “The Book”, the first international show of artist’s books (Vilnius Contemporary Art Centre; cur. Kęstutis Vasiliūnas) which was followed by various presentations of book art in many other international art fairs abroad. Since 1997 Vasiliūnas has been curating the triennials dedicated to artist’s book (including “Diary: Eight Days”, “Love”, “The Rabbit and the House” and “23 Sins”). The 8th triennial “Memento Mori” (2018) took place in Vilnius Martynas Mažvydas Public Library, later the exposition was brought to the USA, Italy and Germany.
