A group of seven artists, invited by curators \u201cSID YOUNG\u201d and Saul\u0117 Noreikait\u0117, were actively searching for archival documents throughout the year, aiming to uncover the existence and to reveal the story of \u201cThe Saturn Youth Group\u201d. An exhibition presenting the material of this research will be opened at \u201eAtletika\u201c gallery (Vitebsko 21, Vilnius) on July 29, 2020. A tour and discussion led by the artists will take place on the following day \u2013 July 30 at 7 pm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Saturn Youth Group\u201d, a Lithuanian radical anarchist group active in-between 1910\u20131920, was making plans for inhabiting Saturn and establishing a utopian commune on this planet. The number of members of this organisation is unknown, neither their identities. During the First World War group members were located all over Europe, however, even though they were far away from each other, one goal united them \u2013 to establish their ground in Saturn and to find ways to move there.<\/p>\n

The prophetic organisation has vanished into the abyss with just a few documents left available for researchers. Scattered diaries, photographs, posters and maquettes, created by enigmatic members of the group, tell us a story of rethinking colonisation on a planetary scale, searching for new ways of coexistence and alternative ecologies. Imagining a happier life on Saturn, the group criticised the problems of their times \u2013 expansive and nationalistic politics of the world\u2019s leading states, accelerating economy and the lack of empathy in society. Big dreamers that \u201cThe Saturn Youth Group\u201d were, have disappeared, having left little trace, but it is up for us to address their legacy today.<\/p>\n

The speculative archive and its interpretations are to be presented at \u201cAtletika\u201d as the result of a collaboration made possible by artist collective \u201cSID YOUNG\u201d (Katerina Sidorova and Debbie Young) and artist Saul\u0117 Noreikait\u0117. The exhibiting artists are \u201cconcerned with verbal and non-verbal language between persons, materials and things\u201d (Julia Carolin Kothe), \u201cquestioning what does it mean to have a body in the 21st century and how one takes care of it and makes use out of the physical means of our existence\u201d (Saul\u0117 Noreikait\u0117), playing with \u201cboth literal and figurative layers, with each layer drawing away the previous relative or part\u201d (Debbie Young), exploring the \u201cfragility of human existence by reflecting the primal human rituals and mythologies\u201d (Katerina Sidorova), interested in \u201cinterested in human and non-human animal relations and nature representation systems\u201d (Indr\u0117 Li\u0161kauskait\u0117), focusing on \u201cdifferent people in different constellations \u2013 on space and material\u201d (Sara Bj\u00f6rg) and creating \u201cunpredictable environments and absurd situations\u201d (Andrej Polukord). Viewers are to be given an opportunity to distinguish the factual from the fictional by themselves. The audience will be invited to think together with the artists on how can we collectively repurpose the utopian ideas of \u201cThe Saturn Youth Group\u201d and utilise them to create a healthier community right now and not in the distant future, on a planet far far away.<\/p>\n
