About changing the familiar landscape and people's connection with the land — join the discussion of the next artist talk

We invite you to the opening of the exhibition project Pharmacy of the Heavens — a collaborative work by Dnipro-based artists, painter Volodymyr Gabuda and sound artist Oleksandr Suprun. The opening will take place on June 5 at 6:30 PM. Combining painting, poetry, and a spatial audio installation, the exhibition will run until August 8, 2026.

Pharmacy of the Heavens continues a long-term artistic project that Volodymyr Gabuda has been developing over the past several years. This new cycle emerges as the next chapter following the exhibition Mutations, presented in 2025 at the Dnipro Art Museum. As the artist notes, the project evolves gradually — through separate fragments, like a book written in process. While Mutations focused on trauma as a protective reaction and on unconscious mechanisms of resistance, Pharmacy of the Heavens turns to a condition in which the traumatic transformations of reality have already become part of everyday life, requiring conscious “healing” actions.

At the end of April, Artsvit Gallery’s collection curator Viktoriia Nikitina took part in a networking event for participants of the Museum Futures programme, within which we are developing a website dedicated to the gallery’s collection.

During the meeting, participants presented their institutions and projects, shared the challenges that arise when working with artistic and historical collections, and discussed possibilities for future partnerships and collaboration. A separate part of the event focused on group work around current issues of preserving, researching, and representing visual art collections.
