6th International Artist’s Book Triennial Vilnius 2012, 11/15

Exhibition theme: “Love”

"If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I
am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and
understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as
to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all
my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not
have love, I gain nothing." 1Cor 13,1-3.

Time and place:
