About the Journal
LANDING is an international platform that facilitates critical and creative artistic inquiry, with a special focus on research methods and an ethos of research.
Emerging from Vilnius in the Baltic region, we embrace the fringes and the outposts, while focusing on the edges where artistic and research practices meet. We acknowledge how access to both sea and forest, as well as caves and mountains, impact our research. Rivers and extending horizons, both historical and future-bound, mark us as those dwelling on the edge of the last glacier. Limited by our own seeing, but capable of relating to other realities; perpetually in the process of LANDING.
Current Issue
Parodyk virtuvę is a Lithuanian phrase which is used to say: “Show me the kitchen!” It is used when somebody wants to know the secrets of a particularly tasty dish or hack, as an invitation to look behind the curtain, without reference to specific skills or discipline. It is a gesture to reveal what is going on before a dish—a delicious blend of art and research—is served. Showing is a relational act. It implies interaction, questioning, trust, and generosity.
In Show Me the Kitchen, we are staying with artists in their own milieu, detailing a plurality of knowledges they carry. Artmaking transforms into art-doing. Whispering, conspiring, resonating, rocking, rotating, attracting, looping, co-conditioning, and defying gravity are ways in which our authors navigate their respective kitchens.
They are pleased to meet you: do come inside!
LANDING’s Editors Miklós (Miki) Ambrózy, Sophie L. O. Durand worked closely with contributing authors to develop their texts using a mode of peer connected reviewing as outlined in the editorial text 'Kitchen Notes'. This issue’s design as a versatile artist book was developed through dialogue with the publishing initiative Arklys (bachelor students in the Vilnius Art Academy’s Graphic Arts Department). Parodyk virtuvę connects different generations of artists, diverse methods of research, healthy practices of disagreement, and a creative resolution as a limited handmade edition.
