A new opportunity for artists to talk about their work in the artist talk format

We want to launch a new project "Art Speaks" - the first meeting will take place this Saturday and we have invited the following three artists: Otchich Kristina, Asya Yakovlieva, and Volodymyr Gabuda. They will share details of their practice, talk about the works they are currently working on, and you will be able to see them live in the gallery during the event.

WHEN: Saturday, March 1, 4:00 PM
WHERE: Artsvit Gallery, Krutogornyy Uzviz 21a. Entrance through the glass sliding doors from the side of Uspenskaya Square

Free admission

Kristina Otchich-Chernyak is a Kyiv artist who works in mixed media, combining graphic and pictorial materials: paper, gouache, pencils, ceraplast and canvases that she makes herself. In her work, she addresses the themes of war, inequality, feminism, existentialism and religion, and a special place in the artist's practice is occupied by environmental subjects: protection of animal rights and the destructive consequences of human activity.

Asya Yakovleva is an artist from Luhansk, who has lived and worked in Dnipro since 2016. The artist explores social vices, the absurd cyclicality of human errors. Her works balance between playfulness and seriousness. She uses graphic media such as paper, ink, pencils, watercolors and pens. The themes of her practice encompass war, violence and social criticism, raising uncomfortable questions about the dark side of human nature.

Volodymyr Gabuda is a Dnipro artist, working with monumental painting and graphics. She writes in cycles, outlining her own neo-mythological spaces as a tangle of bizarre memories, fantasies and dreams.

The Open Call for Residency in Performative Practices

Together with the residency curator, Waldemar Tatarczuk, we propose to explore performance as an intermedial method of artistic practice — one that allows for experimental approaches to creative processes where action, time, presence, and lived experience become the material.

We welcome applications from performers, theatre practitioners, and people open to collective experimentation with backgrounds in visual arts, contemporary music, DJing, generative media, writing, drag, and other artistic disciplines.
