Published in 2005 by CAC, Vilnius, Lithuania

The Black Box contains the charred remains of the explosive IX Baltic Triennial of International Art, also known as “BMW” for Black Market Worlds, an exhibition curated by Sofia Hernandez Chong Cuy, Raimundas Malasauskas, and Alexis Vaillant. With over 40 participants in and around the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), Vilnius and a schizophrenic, alter-ego version at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, The Black Box does not document, but captures activities spun-off from BMW. From texts on subjects from transparency to zombies, from photographs of ghosts to tapped private conversations and space for the readers own thoughts, The Black Box provides a shadow world with its own logic and its own chaos. Editors: the exhibition curators, with assistance from Catherine Hemelryk and Simon Rees. Designed by Povilas Utovka.
