Tate St Ives to Present Major Exhibition of Emilija Škarnulytė in December 2025
Tate St Ives will present a major exhibition of the work of Lithuanian-born artist Emilija Škarnulytė opening on December 6, 2025. The exhibition runs through April 12, 2026, and includes films such as Æqualia from 2023 and Telstar from 2025, alongside glass sculptures and lightboxes. Škarnulytė creates immersive installations that explore deep time, power structures and environmental harm from the perspective of a future archaeologist. The show is curated by Anne Barlow, Director of Tate St Ives, with Dara McElligott.
The Signal
This presentation at Tate St Ives signals the museum's commitment to artists whose work bridges documentary and speculative realms to address climate and technological legacies. Škarnulytė's residency in St Ives and focus on Cornish ancient sites alongside modern infrastructure like the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station illustrate how institutions are integrating local contexts with global narratives. Collectors and curators may note the growing institutional interest in her films, which are held in collections including the Centre Pompidou and MoMA.
