Read curatorial context and practical visitor information for Lapsarian 3.0 at Kunsthal Extra City in Antwerp
In this solo exhibition, artist and researcher Goda Palekaitė explores the 'lapsarian'—the fall of humanity—as a threshold for transformation rather than an end. The show features a new site-specific commission alongside works from the past five years that weave together mysticism, feminism, and speculative knowledge through installations, video, and AI-generated elements.
Lapsarian 3.0 presents a layered universe where the fall of mankind serves as a starting point for re-imagining our collective past, present, and future. At the core of the exhibition is a new work created specifically for Kunsthal Extra City, which draws on the Roman catacombs as a metaphor for communities emerging in times of crisis. Through a mix of filmed material, AI-generated components, and sculptural installations, Palekaitė constructs a speculative visual environment that challenges fixed historical narratives. Beyond this new installation, the exhibition brings together a constellation of works created over the past five years. These pieces focus on themes of anarchism, feminist historiography, and marginalized histories, offering alternative ways of knowing and imagining. The exhibition emphasizes a dialogue between ancient allegories and modern concerns about technology, ecology, and social power, inviting visitors to view moments of rupture as spaces for new communal beginnings.
