Once, “potpourri<\/em>” referred to a fermented stew\u2014a mix of meat, beans, and vegetables, even called a \u201crotten pot.\u201d Later, the term became associated with a mix of aromatic herbs, spices, and petals, and eventually came to mean a curated collection of various selected items\u2014a kind of aesthetic sensitivity-based selection. <\/p>\n\n Let it be a keyword through which we look at works once \u201cfermented\u201d in the studio\u2014warm, moist, feeding creative hunger. Over time, they have been dried, preserved, taken off the heat, and moved beyond the studio\u2014into exhibition spaces and eventually hidden away in archives. <\/p>\n\n But most of them survive this removal from their original kitchen. And through that, they become something else\u2014vessels carrying scents, memories, or newly emerging images in encounters with others. They persist in time\u2014preserved through drying, yet decaying like something that once bloomed, nourished, and was fragile. <\/p>\n\n How can stories created in different times be cooked into a new stew\u2014and served in the decadent pot of an exhibition, containing both decay and life, and the thread that connects the two?<\/p>\n\n About the Artist:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Vytenis Burokas (b. 1990) is an artist and curator based between Vilnius and Lauryni\u0161k\u0117s.
