On 10 November 2026, the cultural space Theodora Extra in Barcelona hosted the opening of the exhibition “Lost & Found”, the final event of the first FONT Residence programme—an independent international arts residency and cultural platform based in Catalonia, Spain. This was reported by the European Business Association, a project partner.
According to the press release, the exhibition brought together works by two artists from Ukraine who took part in the residency—Andrii Sydorenko and Wodeman (Oleh Derevianko)—as well as artists from Spain: Joan Hurtado Canano, Joaquim Mas Rius and Fernando Suárez Escobar. In total, the show presented around 20 works.
The title “Lost & Found” reflects the natural process of human experience—constant losses and discoveries of ideas, meanings, people and opportunities. This continual movement between loss and revelation formed the conceptual basis of the exhibition. As noted in the description, the display presented new works by the artists created as part of the residency programme, and became a space for dialogue between the Ukrainian and Spanish arts communities, for finding common ground and rethinking identity and European values.
Over the course of a month, the Ukrainian artists worked at Pou de la Vinya—an authentic Catalan estate located within the Garraf Natural Park. The artists’ works will remain on display at the Pou de la Vinya estate.
The project was curated by Tamara Li, an international curator and expert in contemporary Ukrainian art.
Andrii Sydorenko is an artist from Kharkiv who, since the 2010s, has combined artistic and scientific practice. In 2014, he took part in organising the project “Premonition: Ukrainian Art Now” at the Saatchi Gallery in London and “Long Path To Freedom” at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Chicago. His works have been exhibited at the Wilson Center (USA), the Saatchi Gallery (UK), the Künstlerhaus (Austria), the Oscar Niemeyer Museum (Brazil), the Wilson Center (USA), and the Ukrainian Museum (New York, USA). In 2018, Andrii Sydorenko became a co-founder of the art group “Pankoptykum”. After 2022, he co-curated several exhibition projects: “Concentration of Will” (2023), “Formula of Resilience” (2024) and “Cloud Storage” (2026), presented at the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, the M17 Contemporary Art Centre and the Institute for Problems of Contemporary Art. In 2025, he curated Avant-Garde Kyiv Fest, held across seven venues.
Wodeman (Oleh Derevianko) is a conceptual artist who lives and works in Kyiv. His artistic practice spans oil painting, pastel, digital media and visual poetry. He has exhibited in galleries in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, and has taken part in several exhibition projects in Ukraine. In September 2026, at Kyiv’s legendary GOGOLFEST, Wodeman presented his conceptual manifesto project “At First There Was Entanglement” (In the Beginning Was Entanglement), combining installation, painting and a conceptual text on modal realism in art.
The residency and the final exhibition were organised on the initiative of Anna Derevianko, Executive Director of the European Business Association, CEO and co-founder of Global Business for Ukraine.
