However, these structures are not formally recognized by Ukrainian law and are thus vulnerable to devastating renovations. The purpose of the \u201cMarket\u201d project is to draw attention to these buildings as newly discovered monuments. This site-specific project draws explicit attention to its location, Zhytniy Market, which was constructed in 1980 in the so-called Soviet International style.<\/p>\n Participants of the Exhibition Include:\u00a0Dana Kosmina, Nikita Kadan, Volodymyr Kuznetsov, Ksenia Hnylytska, Oleksandr Burlaka, Oleksiy Bykov, David Chichkan (Ukraine), Sergey Shabokhin (Belarus).\u00a0Curated by Hanna Tsyba.

Before being dispersed by the French authorities, the \u201cJungles\u201d had become a shelter for nearly ten thousand people, almost as if it were a separate city. Surviving in tents and self-made houses, its inhabitants settled into \u201cneighborhoods\u201d in accordance with the country of their origin \u2013 Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. Most had survived war, violence, the loss of their families, and dangerous journies.

She is a major figure in the field of body art and \u201ccarnal art,\u201d as she once defined it in her 1989 manifesto. ORLAN uses her own body as the medium and subject for her artistic practice. She creates sculptures, photographs, performances, videos and videogames, augmented reality, using scientific and medical techniques such as surgery and biogenetics. Always mixed with humor, parody or even the grotesque, her provocative artworks are often shocking because of how she shakes up pre-conceived codes and ideas.<\/p>\n During the closing of\u00a0The Kyiv International \u2013 Kyiv Biennial 2017<\/em>\u00a0ORLAN will present the performance \u201cPetition against Death\u201d in two parts: a street action (with 30 local participants) and a live act in the concert hall of the\u00a0<\/strong>Institute of Scientific, Technical and Economic Information, \u201cUFO.\u201d<\/p>\n Admission is free.<\/strong><\/p>\n Organized by<\/strong>\u00a0Visual Culture Research Center (Kyiv, Ukraine).<\/p>\n Institutional Partners:<\/strong>\u00a0Avtonomi Akadimia (Athens, Greece), BURSA Gallery (Kyiv, Ukraine), Columbia Global Centers | Paris (France), DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program (Berlin, Germany), De Balie (Amsterdam, the Netherlands), Depo (Istanbul, Turkey), Depot (Vienna, Austria), documenta 14 (Athens\/Kassel, Greece\/Germany), European Alternatives (Paris, France), Forum Transregionale Studien (Berlin, Germany), Hromadske TV (Kyiv, Ukraine), Institute for Human Sciences (Vienna, Austria), Medusa Books (Kyiv, Ukraine), National Oleksandr Dovzhenko Center (Kyiv, Ukraine), Political Critique (Warsaw, Poland), Shedhalle (Zurich, Switzerland), Studio 14 (Athens, Greece), Transeuropa Festival 2017 (Madrid, Spain), tranzit.cz (Prague, Czech Republic).<\/p>\n Partners:<\/strong>\u00a0British Council \/ Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, ERSTE Foundation, European Cultural Foundation, International Renaissance Foundation, Robert Bosch Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" November 22 \u2013 26, Wednesday \u2013 Sunday\u00a0 Wednesday, November 22, at 19:00\u00a0a screening and discussion of the film\u00a0The New Internationale: Below and Above the Nation\u00a0will take place at the\u00a0Institute of Scientific, Technical and Economic Information\u00a0(\u201cUFO\u201d, 180 Antonovycha St., … Continue reading \n\n
