Rugsėjo 10-13 dienomis „Vilniaus galerijų savaitgalis“  vienuoliktą kartą kviečia pasivaikščioti po šiuolaikinio meno galerijas, projektų erdves bei atrasti menininkų kūrybą netikėtose vietose, tarp kurių – VILNIUS TECH dėstytojų. 2026 m. rugsėjo 10 d. (ketvirtadienį) 19 val. galerijoje „Atletika“ atidaroma Lietuvos tarpdisciplininio meno kūrėjų sąjungos (LTMKS) narių paroda „Trapūs namai“, kurioje dalyvauja VILNIUS TECH Architektūros pagrindų, teorijos ir dailės katedros dėstytojai – doc. Arūnas Gudaitis ir prof. dr. Audrius Novickas. Katedros vedėjas Novickas yra vienas iš Lietuvos Tarpdisciplininio meno kūrėjų sąjungos steigėjų, 1998-2004 metais ėjo atsakingo sekretoriaus, o 2004-2005 pirmininko pareigas, reikšmingai prisidėjo, kad sąjungos nariams Lietuvos Respublikos kultūros ministerija suteiktų meno kūrėjų statusą. Aistės Kisarauskaitės kuruojamą parodą „Trapūs namai“ inspiravo LTMKS istorija, lyg stambiais punktyrais nužymėta kraustymusi iš vienos laikinos galerijos į kitą. Šiandien namų trapumo klausimas įgauna naujų prasmių. Raketų naikinamų daugiaaukščių vaizdai ir karo grėsmė verčia iš naujo galvoti apie miestų saugumą ir okupacijų sunaikintų tėvonijų atmintį. Tačiau paroda kalba ne tik apie nerimą ir praradimą. Joje atsiveria ir kitos dabarties slinktys: iš naujo atrandamas gyvenimas sodyboje, avių auginimas ir ilgos žiemos kaime, mobilumas, sąmoningai pasirinktas nomadiškumas bei tolimos pasaulio vietos, galinčios tapti antraisiais ar net pirmaisiais namais.
