The exhibition entitled “Genotyp Wolności” (“Freedom Genotype”) consists of 33 pieces executed in the artist’s original technique he calls plontanizm (from Ukrainian for “weave”): an object’s physical properties are retained, but it is shown as if behind a spider’s web.
Marchuk has held individual exhibitions at prestigious galleries around the world, including Paris, Sydney, Toronto, Moscow and New York.
The exhibition, organised by the Friends of Ukraine Association, marks the first anniversary of an agreement to end fighting in Kiev’s Maidan central square.
The exhibition, scheduled to last till 8 March, will open on Monday, 23 February.
Ministers of culture of Poland and Ukraine, Małgorzata Omilanowska and Viacheslav Kyrylenko, and Ukrainian ambassador, Andriy Deshchytsa will attend the opening. (an)
