Exhibitions

The history of art in Odesa in the 20th century is a story of constant evolution, the search for national identity, composed of moments of triumph and trial, culminating in war, but also with hope for reconstruction and continuation of the creative heritage.

The exhibition is a collection of intriguing nocturnal photography and a story of crossing boundaries, of the senses, and the world of animals (and people). Can the night-time encounter between humans and animals lead to a symbiotic understanding? How to reflect on wild nature in a posthumanist world?

Can found, useless objects or garbage washed ashore by the sea become works of art? Bogusław Bachorczyk employs such materials in his recent works. He arranges them in new, surprising combinations, merging natural and artificial elements.

The exhibition is an expression of protest against the Russian attack on Ukraine, as well as proof of the resolute attitude of artists from around the world who speak out against the on-going armed conflict.
