About Issue 8, ESCAPE:
'Guest edited by philosopher, writer and curator Edvardas Šumila, ESCAPE delves into various artistic and discursive histories and awaken our esoteric curiosity. While moving toward a critical take on spirtuality, it attempts to personalise the seemingly institutionalised. Staring at the black sun that belonged to one of Stravinsky's, never to be found again, we will imagine scores that were perhaps only dreamed and never composed.He never heard his poems played; we mean M. K. Čiurlionis.'
