UNFOLDING LANDSCAPES – Landscape and Poetics in Contemporary Ukrainian
30.10 - 20.11.2022
Art Kunst(Zeug)Haus, Switzerland
In UNFOLDING LANDSCAPES, we celebrate several generations of artists exploring the topology and psycho-geography of their unique country. The exhibition consists of selected at works by contemporary Ukrainian-born artists from the younger and older current living generations. 42 artists or artist groups, working across painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, video and new media are presented with selected art work. Thematically three themes run as read treads trough these artists’ production, and therefore also can be identified in UNFOLDING LANDSCAPES: 1) Station to station – journeys through Ukrainian culture; 2) Topology, abstractions and observations of a changing landscape, and 3) Vanishing landscapes – studies of the ancient and modern landscapes of Ukraine.
