Curator

Adomas Narkevičius is a Lithuanian curator and art historian currently working as curator at Cell Project Space, London. Before this, he served as curator at Rupert Centre for Art, Residencies and Education, running the Alternative Education Programme and co-curating the Public and Residencies programmes. Narkevičius received his Masters from UCL, London and his MA dissertation ‘Defiant Bodies: Untimely Art in the Baltics Under Soviet Rule’ was awarded the Oxford Art Journal Prize.

In his curatorial practice, Narkevičius is interested in nonlinear aspects of history as well as the body, sexuality, and the limits of representation. His research focuses on the notion of the ‘untimely artwork’ to reconsider the ‘belatedness’ of post-war art in the Baltics and beyond. Past curated projects are solo and two-person presentations by Coumba Samba; Josefin Arnell and Max Göran; Ksenia Pedan; Niklas Taleb; Agnė Jokšė and Anastasia Sosunova, the group exhibition We Don't Do This. Intimacy, Norms and Fantasies in Baltic Art at MO Museum, Vilnius (2024), The Prompt at Gianni Manhattan, Vienna (2022); Authority Incorporeal at Rupert, as well as involvement in the Baltic Triennial 14 (2021).

Adomas Narkevičius visited Vienna on a group research trip in March 2024.
