Eglė Budvytytė

Eglė Budvytytė (°1981, LT) is an artist working at the intersection between visual and performing arts. She approaches movement and gesture as technologies for a possible subversion of normativity, gender and social roles and for dominant narratives governing public spaces. Her practice, spanning across songs, poetry, videos and performances, explores the persuasive power of collectivity, vulnerability and permeable relationships between bodies, audiences and the environments.

Eglė Budvytytė’s work has been shown at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Le Plateau, Frac Île-de-France in Paris, the Nam June Paik Art Center in Yongin, KR, Vleeshal in Middelburg, NL, the Renaissance Society in Chicago, Canal Projects, New York, the Lofoten International Art Festival, the Block Universe festival in London, Art Dubai commissions, the 19th Biennale of Sydney, De Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam, CAC in Vilnius, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. She was a resident at Le Pavillon, Palais de Tokyo (Paris, FR, 2012), and at Wiels Contemporary Art Centre (Brussels, BE, 2013). In 2026, Eglė Budvytytė represents Lithuania at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia
