On 24 June, the National Art Museum of Ukraine hosted the opening of the first part of the Polish–Ukrainian exhibition project Different Places. It is a two-part story about art – created “before” and that which is born “during”. About art that emerges in different places – in Poland and Ukraine, at different times, in the context of war.
On 27 June at 4 p.m., there will be a curatorial tour of the exhibition with Waldemar Tatarchuk. You will be able to learn more about the concept of the exhibition and see works of contemporary art created before the start of the full-scale war from a new perspective – from the point of view of the present. The tour will also discuss the creation of the video installation One Minute and the project The Sky is Open, which are presented in the exhibition.
Waldemar Tatarchuk is a well-known Polish artist and curator, director of the Labyrinth Gallery in Lublin.
