Comment: Essentially the previous reviewers' comments still apply. Firstly the layout of the article, the tone and language is some distance off the usual article for a writer. Have a look at say Jurgis Kunčinas to see what the format should be like. Secondly the issue of notability is not solved by adding lots of new references, it's about a few really good ones, and shaping the article text to demonstrate the notability. See the essay WP:THREE for an explanation. The criteria is WP:AUTHOR and the subject needs to meet this, via a few but good quality sources. Finally since the subject is a WP:BLP there needs to be inline citations to match the statements, such as the paragraph starting "His works employ..." ChrysGalley (talk) 20:06, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
Raimundas Malašauskas (1973 Vilnius) is a Lithuanian curator and writer.
His works employ a modus operandi revolving around collective improvisation, chance, indeterminacy, and imagination. His creations allude to perpetual becoming – allowing the possibility of new kinds of perception, sensitivity, agency, organisation, and knowledge to be experienced.
Malašauskas’ works have been internationally acclaimed and celebrated. oO, Pavilions of Lithuania and Cyprus, 55th Venice Biennale, received the Special Mention Award and was noted for its boundary-defying spirit:
“If you decide to play the game, the pavilion becomes a long-term puzzle: The exhibition will only make sense gradually, over the next few months or even years, as you talk to others who experienced it, joining the dots of its aleatory, quasi-fictional existence.”[1]
“Malašauskas playfully moves between the multiple figures of the curator, the author, the dramaturg, the storyteller as well as the artist, ceaselessly undoing the possibility of assigning himself a role, a function, or a place.”[2]
"In Oo, Malašauskas could be compared to a dream- er who cannot keep control over the events occurring in his dream; as if Oo was an organism, alive and self-organised, giving the artists as much space and freedom to act as possible."[3]
In response to Paper Exhibition, Malašauskas' first book of selected writings, John Menick wrote:
“Like one of those extinct 19th-century mad wanderers, Malašauskas’ work is driven by an intellectual wanderlust, crossing through enough ideas to keep me alive for decades. The trip is always moving, always surprising, and – above all – always a joy.”[4]
