The Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius is proud to present an exhibition 
by Martin Ebner and Kitty Kraus, living and working in Berlin. Both 
artists, although exercising a peculiar and different artistic 
vocabulary throughout their practice, were invited to create an 
unfolding dialogue throughout the process of the exhibition. Martin 
Ebner, working primarily within the spheres of film and publishing, 
whereas Kitty Kraus is known for her sensibility to space, which 
manifests through her objects, light and glass installations. Together 
they set to explore not only the premises of CAC here in Vilnius, but 
also the social and cultural milieu surrounding it. The result might 
have been unexpected for both as common themes among the artists, such 
as direction, speed and transparency have surfaced.

In the North Hall, Kitty Kraus has installed a telescope directed at the 
Polar Star through a hole in the exterior wall, accompanied by a park 
bench with a small and bright spot of light falling on it, inviting the 
visitor to sit down. In the meanwhile, Ebner’s tall transparent metal 
roofs recast into architecture, like shadows of houses carrying 
monochrome images up in the air. The horizon of the walls of the 
exhibition hall is covered with colour paintings, depicting simple forms 
found in the urban: traces of objects and language. While the filmic 
moment of gradual and constant change of light and shadow is accentuated 
by a projected light door appearing slowly in space and disappearing again.

In the Atrium, the collaborative installation of a spinning water 
sprinkler jetting out a disk of 360 degrees geometrically cuts through 
the space, simultaneously destroying sight and making glass and water 
visible, unpredictable yet precise as a clock, and in its own distinct 
sound.

Thus, divulging a distant relation and pinpointing the self along an 
elaborate constellation of coordinates, the North Hall becomes an 
observation deck of the imaginary. The establishment of a fixed position 
functions as an apparatus to chart a bearing, referring to the movement 
of the earth and the individual, revealing the complex and fickle 
everyday relations among people and objects, encouraging to rethink what 
seems as clear without saying and what remains unnoticed while the star 
itself remains invisible.

*Martin Ebner* is an artist working in Berlin. His work for the past 
decade has focused film and video, while working with installation, 
sculpture and images. He is also a publisher and editor of /Starship

*Kitty Kraus* works in Berlin. Primarily working in sculpture, Kraus’ 
nuanced approach to object making, while having a familiarity to 
Minimalism, reflects a sense of transformation, fragility, and decay, 
that connects it to society's current need for urgency. Her work has 
been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions, at 
institutions including: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; 
Kunsthalle Zürich; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; MIT List Visual Arts Center, 
Cambridge, MA; Kunstmuseum Luzern, Lucerne; Hamburger Kusthalle, 
Hamburg; Marres – Centre for Contemporary Culture, Maastricht; The David 
Roberts Art Foundation, London; Sculpture Center, New York; New Museum 
of Contemporary Art, New York.
