Around 200 various projects and events will spread around Vilnius during the night from 19th to 20th of June, lasting from 6 pm to 2 am. The Embassy of the Czech Republic has a pleasure to invite you to the unveiling of the sculpture „Hanging man“ by David Černý on 19 June 2015 at 18,00, facade of hotel “Novotel”, Gedimino av. 16, Vilnius.
In 1997, a well-known Czech artist - David Černý - created a sculpture „Hanging man“ – a 220 cm sculpture of a human hanging from the roof on one hand. The main intention of the artist was to convey a certain emotional state: to show a human lost in the modern world and feeling hopeless. Does the hope still exist and he can still come back on top of the roof? „The hanging man“ was first showed in Prague, and after that has visited Chicago, Michigan, South Korea, Germany and this year it will question the human existence during the „Culture night“. The sculpture will be unveiled by David Černý himself. Don‘t miss this chance, because the sculpture will only stay in Vilnius until 6 July.
