Editorial presents ‘Depositories’, a solo exhibition by Gabrielė Adomaitytė, opening on 5 February. The exhibition marks the tenth anniversary of the independent Vilnius art space.
In her solo exhibition ‘Depositories’, created specifically for Editorial, Adomaitytė presents a new body of work comprising paintings, drawings, and a sculptural object. These works map the evolving infrastructures of memory and data containment—not only as physical systems, but as symbolic environments in which information is collected, regulated, and distributed.
In the exhibition context, the term ‘depositories’ extends beyond the bureaucratic or logistical, pointing toward psychological, emotional, and epistemological registers. What does it mean to deposit knowledge? Who authorizes its preservation, and under what conditions might it be retrieved—or withheld?
The archaeology of knowledge spaces constructed in the exhibition does not propose a single narrative, but instead assembles a constellation of charged interiors—intellectual, emotional, institutional. These are not only vaults of information, but also spaces of refusal, slowness, and care. The works integrate a subtle relation to the medical system. At a moment when knowledge is increasingly abstracted, monetized, and accelerated, ‘Depositories’ invites the viewer to pause—to sit with the politics of access and the possibility of withdrawal, and to imagine alternative modes of knowing and documentation.
Gabrielė Adomaitytė (b. 1994, Kaunas, Lithuania) lives and works in Milan and Vilnius. She holds a BA in Sculpture from Vilnius Academy of Arts (2017) and was an artist-in-residence at De Ateliers, Amsterdam (2017–2019). Adomaitytė’s practice situates painting within the conditions of the digital, translating documentary systems across painting, sculpture, video, and writing.
