Adomas Narkevičius to curate 2025 Kaunas Biennial with satellite exhibitions in France and Italy

Adomas Narkevičius will serve as curator for the fifteenth Kaunas Biennial, scheduled from 12 September to 23 November 2025. Titled Life After Life, the exhibition aims to address shifts in the international order and contemporary art ideas while creating space for artists' visions. Narkevičius, currently curator at London's Cell Project Space and previously at Vilnius's Rupert Centre for Art, Residencies and Education until 2019, describes the biennial as embracing a "semi-peripheral" regional perspective with an irreverent, experimental, and self-reflexive ethos. The event will feature satellite exhibitions in collaboration with the 2024 Lyon Biennale, CHRONIQUES – the Biennale des Imaginaires Numériques in France, and the 2025–26 Biennale Gherdëina in Italy.
