Deleuzian/Guattarian cartographies: Art outside galleries in new Vilnius map

Abstract

The task of this paper is to draw the possible new trajectories of the narrative concerning the map of Vilnius of the generation who lived in the Vilnius after Independence (from 1991). The article tries to discern traces of the possible postmodern Vilnius. The main focus is concentrated to Guatarian idea about ecological and terapeutic social functions of art promoting art outside galleries which takes place in Vilnius map. The author concludes that taking the example of contemporary Lithuanian artist Gitenis Umbrasas (b.1961) projects of art one can see striking similarities and parallelism with Guattarian idea. As a methodological approach is used the idea of cartographies discussed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
