"This sculpture is made for those who emigrate, who are waiting their chance and willing to return. And I want to believe that it is not emigration, but only migration. Heart symbolizes love, waiting and longing. Heart is like a puzzle without all the details. Details of which this heart is made are recorded by my friends and acquaintances, their names, who like to live in Lithuania. Missing part is the people who emigrated."
Martynas Gaubas (2012)
As part of the EU funded European Public Art Centre (EPAC), a European-wide collaboration between organisations across Europe exhibiting public artworks, C-LAB, UK partner and curator, is delighted to present the Lithuanian artist Martynus Gaubas' artwork - The Emigration.
