Duke Vildaugas<\/p>\n

17 September 2010, 6pm. The opening of the sculpture “Duke Vildaugas” will take place at the U\u017eupis Art Incubator (UMI), U\u017eupio g. 2. The author is Art\u016bras Maksimilianas. The sculpture was made by
\nmade of concrete and iron and will be displayed on the eaves of the facade of the UMI, above the Galera Gallery.<\/p>\n

The author of the idea “Duke Vildaugas” is a well-known citizen of our city,
\nStasys Urnie\u017eius. In the history of the GDL, the little-known Duke Vildaugas said
\nS. Urnie\u017eius attributes it to the descendants of Duke Gediminas.
\nMore about this can be found on the Internet -http:\/\/server.uzupiozinios.lt\/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=50&Itemid=69 ,
\nOr just ask S. Urnie\u017eius, who is known as the Duke, about it when you meet him in Vilnius, Pilies Street.
\nSince the idea of “Duke Vildaugas” is best represented by the author himself, it is impossible to avoid depicting him in the sculpture. It should be stressed that the representation of Urnie is only a way of expressing the idea of “Duke Vildaugas” and not a monument to him himself.
\nThis sculptural idea inevitably intertwines two characters: Duke Vildaugas, who lived “in those times”, and his representative, Stasys Urnie\u017eius, from the present-day Pilies Street.
\nThe symbols and attributes used in the sculpture also come from both characters and are united by the single idea of “Duke Vildaugas”.<\/p>\n

In everyday life, it is common to see S. Urnie\u017eius with the indistinguishable and instantly recognisable
\nhat, pipe, book, beer bottle and the well-known piece he performs, “America”.
\nDuke Vildaugas, heard mainly from the stories of S. Urnie\u017eis, is vaguely understood by us, and it is known that he is descended from the Gediminas and that his coat of arms should depict a wolf.
\nNevertheless, the author of the sculpture is convinced that the idea of “Duke Vildaugas” is worth implementing in U\u017eupis, near the “Galera”, a much-visited place in our city, where Stasys Urnie\u017eius often likes to visit.<\/p>\n

The sculpture “Duke Vildaugas” is part of the ongoing project “City Stories”.
\nThe City Stories project was conceived in 2007 and launched in 2008.
\nThe idea of the project “City Histories”:
\nThe aim of the project is to reflect the key moments and prominent characters in the history of Vilnius City. These could be true stories and “unreal” events that happened in Vilnius, famous and fictional characters, without necessarily emphasising their portrait quality. Artists have the right to create their own story, which does not necessarily correspond to real events in the past
\nSignificant historical events in the history of the State of Lithuania and the city of Vilnius are conveyed in each artist’s work through his or her individual approach to the chosen moment in history, connecting with the spirit of our time.
\nThis project is an alternative art phenomenon.
