Giedre Mickuniate
Giedrė Mickūnaitė is an art historian and theorist and is associate professor at the Department of Art History and Theory of the Vilnius Academy of Arts. Her research inquires into the relation of textual, pictorial, and mental imagery with special emphasis on situations that change the course of image circulation. Currently, she works on a project under the working title “Maniera Graeca in Europe’s Catholic East” dedicated to the reception of Byzantine and pseudo-Byzantine artworks in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
As a teacher Mickūnaitė has a twofold goal: to investigate and test in artistic and research practice the work of memory as a tool for and principle of cultural legacy; and to explore the transitory potential of research methodologies within and across theories as well as verbal and visual languages.
Mickūnaitė publishes regularly in Lithuanian and international scholarly press and also acts as exhibition curator. Her recent publications include:
