Dorota Gawęda (PL/CH) and Eglė Kulbokaitė (LT/CH) both graduated from the Royal College of Art in London. They work in multiples across performance, painting, sculpture, fragrance, video and installation - where language breaks down and one genre morphs into many. Transfusing different bodies of knowledge across space and time, they nurture a research-based practice that weaves together seemingly disparate fields; ecology and technology, science and magic, nonhuman intelligence and shared speculation. Currently the artists are looking into the trope of the double through popular culture, art, folklore, and technology, aiming to untangle the threads of contemporary identity, probing the boundaries of selfhood in a world where the real and the virtual are increasingly intertwined and confused.
They have exhibited internationally, notably: the Renaissance Society, Chicago; Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris; Centre Georges-Pompidou, Paris; Vilnius Biennial; Kunsthalle Mainz; Kunstverein Hamburg; Istituto Svizzero, Palermo/Milan; Swiss Institute, New York; Julia Stoschek Collection, Düsseldorf; Kunsthalle Fribourg; Lafayette Anticipations, Paris; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Athens Biennale; Kunsthalle Basel; ICA, London; Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw among others.
They are the founders of the YOUNG GIRL READING GROUP (2013–2021), recipients of the Allegro Artist Prize 2022, CERN Collide Residency 2022, and laureates of the Swiss Performance Art Award 2021. Currently in residency at the Cité des Arts in Paris they are working on a forthcoming solo exhibition at MACA, Beijing to open autumn 2025.
Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė are part of Norbergfestival 2025's bleed: program.
