Business Overview
Ai Sugiura held her first solo exhibition in Lithuania, "Some Ways to Know Spring has Sprung." The venue was Si: said Gallery (Klaipeda/Lithuania), which has pioneered modern art exhibitions in Klaipeda, and this was the first Asian exhibition. I created an installation using photographs, sculptures, and other forms of expression of trivial moments and stories in daily life that I encountered during my stay in Lithuania. He also worked at the Nida Art Colony and held a three-dimensional art workshop with local children during his stay.
