Martynas Gailiušas | BOOM SHAKALAKA
The exhibition title is an onomatopoeic reference to an event – a basketball slam dunk – around which multiple threads of meaning are woven. In exploring them, artist Martynas Gailiušas employs an (auto)ethnographic approach, drawing on the anthropology of political imagery and cultural analysis to examine basketball as a phenomenon with a long and complex history within both Lithuanian and global contexts.
