BC, Vilnius, 13.08.2013.Print version

Next year the monument to legendary John Lennon of the Beatles should be built in Vilnius, even if he had never visited Lithuania.


The authors inspired by the culture of the Beatles hope to inject the country with the spirit of this culture in such a way. It seems that the monuments can be built in any place, to any person and without any reason.


"Even if Lennon had never visited Lithuania, he had some relations with the country from the perspective of the Fluxus Movement. On the other hand, this is some kind of the symbol marking the epoch. Who Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev was? He was the political figure in the Alla Borisovna Pugacheva's epoch. A lot of political figures were the people of John Lennon's epoch. In such a way, he deserved his monument in Lithuania," said sculptor Saulius Pilinkus, write VAKARO ZINIOS/LETA.
