About 

Gabrielė Černiavskaja (b.1995) is an architect, exhibition designer, curator, and researcher based in Vilnius. Former curator of Experiments’ Platform at Architektūros Fondas (2022–2023), co-creator of the experimental architecture archive Popierius, alumna of Rupert’s Alternative Education Programme, and currently lecturer at Vilnius Tech.

Working between exhibition architecture, artistic research, curating, and spatial practice, I investigate how spaces organise behaviour, perception, and relationships between bodies. My work often focuses on instability, dysfunction, disorientation, and soft control systems, approaching architecture less as a fixed structure and more as a responsive condition shaped through use, tension, and adaptation. Through exhibitions, installations, sound, scenographic interventions, and research-based projects, I treat exhibition-making as both a spatial method and a form of research — testing how environments absorb and redistribute states such as fatigue, intimacy, vulnerability, collectivity, or unease. My practice frequently operates through temporary structures, infrastructural materials, archival forms, light, sound, and suspended objects, exploring architecture as a psychophysical and political apparatus capable of regulating movement, producing atmospheres, and altering bodily orientation through subtle material and spatial shifts.

Projects and collaborations have been presented at the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC) Vilnius, MO Museum, National Gallery of Art, Kaunas Artists’ House, Editorial, Atletika, SODAS 2123, and other institutional and independent contexts.
