Lin May Saeed at Sapieha Palace: Exploring Contemporary Art in Vilnius Through Nicolas Krupp Gallery
Discovering the Late Artist's Work in Vilnius
Visitors tracking international contemporary art exhibitions will find a notable presentation dedicated to the late German-Iraqi artist Lin May Saeed (1973–2023) at Sapieha Palace in Vilnius, Lithuania. Running from 3 October to 15 December 2025, the solo show highlights Saeed’s profound artistic investigations into the relationships between humans and animals. Known for working with distinctive materials such as Styrofoam, steel gates, wall reliefs, and drawings, the Berlin-based creator wove together Eastern and Western cultural motifs to examine themes of autonomy and subjugation. Further details on the venue can be found directly through the Sapieha Palace announcement.
A Legacy of International Exhibitions
Saeed's body of work has travelled extensively across major global institutions. Having studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and co-founded Berlin's Project Space Center, her practice gained widespread recognition prior to her passing in 2023. Major solo presentations include exhibitions at the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin and the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, alongside significant posthumous tributes in 2024 at GAMeC in Bergamo and the Biennale Gherdina in Ortisei. Her intricate sculptures and mixed-media installations have also featured in prominent group showcases at venues such as Manifesta 15 in Barcelona, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien in Vienna.
