Urtė Janus (b. Vilnius) is an artist based in London. She holds an MA in Art & Ecology from Goldsmiths, University of London, and currently works at the Goldsmiths Centre for Art and Ecology. Her interdisciplinary, research-based practice takes form in durational installations, community workshops and embodied dream methodologies, aiming to foreground the agency of matter. Her current research focuses on bodies of water in Eastern Europe, examining the legacies of Soviet-era large-scale land transformation projects and their implications for present and possible futures in the region.
Her recent work has been presented at Radvila Palace Art Museum, Vilnius; Anthony Gormley's High House, Norfolk; National Gallery of Art, Vilnius; Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius; and Alexander McQueen Sarabande Foundation, London. She also curates Project Octagon, an outdoor art initiative at Nunhead Cemetery, London.
