Darius Mik¨ys¿ emblematic project has been to extend his invitation
for an exhibition to the parents of other participating artists,
thus creating an absurd situation of meetings. He sometimes also
produces copies of other artworks in those exhibitions in which
he participates. For Manifesta 8 he is making a cover version of
Bouchra Ouizguen¿s dance-and-music project, which is featured
as part of the same show. Beside creating a new artwork, he is also
assisting his fellow artist in the realisation of her piece. The four
protagonists in Ouizguen¿s Madame Plaza are replaced by Darius
Mik¨ys, Gintaras Makarevi ius, Benas ¦arka and Rytis Salad¸ius.
