The Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), Vilnius is excited to launch the X Baltic Triennial of International Art presented in the national programme of ‘Vilnius - European Capital of Culture 2009′. Opening on Friday 25 September 2009 the X Baltic Triennial is the pinnacle contemporary art event of the Vilnius Culture Capital and the Contemporary Art Centre’s exhibition calendar. ‘Urban Stories’, which is lead by Ann Demeester (Director, de Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam) and Kestutis Kuizinas (Director of the CAC) is comprised of two principal exhibitions: ‘Black Swans, True Tales and Private Truths’ and ‘Vilnius COOP: gaps, fictions, and practices’ the latter curated by Vera Lauf and Ula Tornau. ‘Black Swans’ the X Baltic Triennial’s major exhibition is principally located at the CAC. Meanwhile, ‘Vilnius COOP’ is sited in former public social insurance offices located on Vilnius’ main avenue. Continuing a 15 year tradition that has established the Baltic Triennial as one of the most influential contemporary art events staged in post-communist Europe ‘Urban Stories’ will be a dynamic multi-platform event of exhibitions, performances, screenings, lectures, and publications; and includes a high proportion of newly commissioned and site-specific work. Both projects have extensive public programmes that commence on opening day and run until the conclusion of the Triennial in November.
