# *CHANEL Commission: Lina Lapelytė. We Make Years Out of Hours*

Solo exhibition · May 1, 2026 – Jan 10, 2027 · on view · Historic Hall

A performance installation in the Historic Hall, where performers and visitors move 400,000 wooden cubes while singers fill the space.

Twelve performers and visitors stack and rebuild the spruce and pine 10-centimeter cubes into piles, walls and hills, to a soundtrack and songs whose words come from 15 poets, among them Khalil Gibran, Etel Adnan and Ocean Vuong. It is the second CHANEL Commission.

Lapelytė, born in Kaunas in 1984, co-created the Golden Lion–winning opera Sun & Sea. The cubes go on to a public artwork in Eisenhüttenstadt in 2027.
