Artistic collaborations between Ukraine and Poland. Meeting with Waldemar Tatarchuk

This Saturday, Valdemar Tatarchuk, curator, performer, and director of the Galeria Labirynt (Lublin, Poland), with whom we have been collaborating on projects for several years, will be visiting the Artsvit Gallery. We invite you to join the conversation!

The meeting will focus on cooperation with Ukrainian artists and cultural institutions, both before and after the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation. Waldemar will talk about the activities of the Galeria Labirint and share his experience of working with Artsvit. He will also discuss interesting international initiatives, in particular the project ‘The Sky Is Open’ initiated by Waldemar Tatarchuk and the Galeria Labirint, which presents Ukrainian art created during the war, and the Lublin Station residency, organised in collaboration with the Artsvit Gallery.

We will tell you more about the Lublin Station residency later, but for now, you can check out The Sky Is Open project.

WHEN: 5 August, 6 p.m.
WHERE: Artsvit Gallery, Dnipro, 21a Krutohirnyy Uzviz. Entrance through the central door from Krutohirnyy Uzviz.

Admission is free

Waldemar Tatarchuk was born in 1964 in Siemiatycze, Poland. He is a performer and curator. In 1999, he founded the Performance Art Centre, which operated for 10 years in Lublin, where he was involved in the presentation, promotion and research of this medium, as well as organising international performance art festivals. Tatarchuk actively participates in art events abroad — in Europe, Asia and North America — and conducts master classes in performance art, drawing on his own experience as an artist and curator. In 2010, he became the director of Galeria Labirynt, working with many Polish and international artists, especially from Ukraine. He was the co-organiser of the Ukrainian pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale.

Waldemar Tatarchuk returns to Dnipro for the closing of his exhibition and will conduct a tour!

This will be the last day of the exhibition — a kind of finale and, at the same time, an opportunity to see the project and hear about it directly from its author. During the tour, the artist will guide visitors through the exhibition and talk about the ideas behind it, as well as his collaboration with Ukrainian artists, which has become an important part of this project.
