Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association (LTMKS) is an artist-run-organisation which has more than 60 members. It was established in 1998 and it continues the activities of “Metastudija” (artist-run-initiatve) which started in 1994 as an oposition to the gigantic Lithuanian Artists’ Association which had a lot of impact on Lithuanian art scene, however it was not flexible and inherited values from soviet art system. LTMKS is the biggest artist-run-organisation in Lithuania. Among its members are the most prominent Lithuanian contemporary artists working with various kinds of media: photography, video art, installations, performances, etc.
Since the beginning the LTMKS was a virtual organisation without any space. However starting from April, 2010 it moved to abandoned house in the very centre of Vilnius. It occupies the 3rd floor of the building, bearing a name “Fluxus ministry”. Around 20 artists are having studios and making open studio days. Moreover LTMKS is organising exhibitions, video screenings and other art events in the same building.
