On February
21, at 7PM, as part of the Armed and Dangerous project, the lecture Kateryna
Yakovlenko will talk about the video experiments of Ukrainian artists and
analyze some of the works. There will be a screening.
In the
early 1990s, Ukrainian artists got their hands on video cameras, and they began
to experiment with the genre. The Ukrainian artists were fascinated by the idea
of working on the edge of visual art and cinema. In the early years of the
decade, works were created that appealed to visual culture, the aesthetics of
television and world cinema, as well as issues of documentation, truth and
lies. One of the most striking examples of that time was Vasyl Tsagolov, who
conceptualised his work as Solid Television.
Kateryna
Yakovlenko is a member of the PinchukArtCentre Research Platform, a publicist,
co-author of the PARCOMMUNE book. She contributes to the publications LB.ua and
