Events
  • 20 May - 20 June 1923, The New Art Exhibition in Vilnius, organised by Władysław Strzemiński and Vytautas Kairiūkštis, at Corso Cinema on A. Mickiewicz Avenue.

Works included painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, scenography, and printing. Cubist, Constructivist, and Suprematist compositions predominated. Its catalogue includes Kairiūkštis’ constructivist manifesto. The participants of the exhibition later become the members of the Blok group (Grupa Kubistów, Konstruktywistów i Suprematystów Blok) which holds exhibitions in Riga, Bucharest, Brussels and Warsaw.
