Event Curator, “Another Year, Wishes” featuring Evaldas Jansas, at Joys, Toronto, on view January 1, 2024.
One of the earliest Lithuanian video works was Evaldas Jansas’ “Linkejimai/Wishes,” which was filmed in 1998 on the days leading up to New Year’s Eve. In ‘Linkejimai’ Jansas asks passersby in various locales, on the street; in bars; and at the contemporary art centre, what they wish for themselves and for others. Jansas invites strangers to articulate their values, fantasies, anxieties and epistemologies. Since 2018, I’ve organized annual screenings of this work on New Years Eve and New Years Day in partnership with various contemporary art institutions.
