Prykhovani Svity exhibition, photography and video-art

The authors are renown land-art artists from Ukraine and other countries: Petro Bevza, Andriy Gurenko, Yaroslav Koziara (Poland), Myroslav Vaida, Ilona Silvashi, Yaroslav Prysiazhnyuk, Alexandro Guzzetti (Argentine), Oleksandr Nikityuk, Zhanna Kadyrova, Anatoliy Byelov, and others. Most photographs shown at the exhibition have been taken by Vadym Il’kov.

Specially for the exhibition, VJ-group "CUBE" created the video, based on the photographs of installations and music by Danyl Pertsov also written to this venue. The music composition is based on correlation of the urban and nature sounds, which highlights the distinctive flair of land-art’s temporary comeback to the city galleries.

Land-art appeared in 1970s, when the artists have changed their artistic means, beginning to work with water, stone, sand, leaves, ice or snow, sunrays, lightning... Land-art linked the artists’ desire to aesthetic exploration of the landscape and the need to move beyond the standard cultural centres — galleries and showrooms.

The exhibitions were organised by ArtPole in Vynnytsia (ArtShik gallery), Kyiv (Lavra gallery), Ternopil (Artists’ Union Gallery), Lviv (Dzyga gallery) and Ivano-Frankivsk (Ye cultural centre).
