Esma Paçal Turam – "Günlerden Bir Gün" // "One Day…"
12.04.2012 – 20.05.2012
Another new day,
As always it seems, the start is the same.
I look out the window. The sky is overcast and raining,
As if someone is crying, somewhere, and calling out to hear.
I like the rain…but this thought saddens me. (more…)

“Third of The Story I Never Tell”
18.05 – 15. 06.2012
"Most of my works has a story contained in them. I like to work with narrative. I like to see the reality through different tales, to exercise my mind and to place stories where none may exist.
My brain cannot find reasons for things that happen from time to time, so it invents imaginary causes and effects." Cristina David
The exhibition remains open until June 15 and can be visited from Wednesday to Friday, 2-7 pm, or Saturday, 2-6 pm; contact person: Marian Ivan / 0721261242

Poland is said to be more than 90% Catholic. Christianity was forcefully introduced centuries ago to have successfully erased almost all the traces of paganism, witchcraft or shamanic traditions. Basically no line of heritage survived. Children at school learn Greek, Roman, German or Nordic mythology. (more…)

Anish Kapoor, Solo Exhibition
19 May 2012 – 30 September 2012
The PinchukArtCentre (Kyiv, Ukraine) presents the first comprehensive solo exhibition by Anish Kapoor in Eastern Europe. The show includes a selection of the artist’s most iconic works together with a new monumental steel work created specially for the PinchukArtCentre.
Anish Kapoor is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Born in Bombay, he has lived and worked in London since the early 70's. Kapoor sees his work as being engaged with deep-rooted metaphysical polarities; presence and absence, being and non-being, place and non-place and the solid and the intangible. His fascination with darkness and light is apparent throughout his work; the translucent quality of the resin works, the absorbent nature of the pigment, the radiant glow of alabaster and the fluid (more…)

Oleksandr Kadnikov
The Rake
16.05 – 06.06.12
Kadnikov's method is original in a way that it is an installation frozen in photography. Instead of capturing a ready plot from the surrounding, the author constructs it himself, sculpts if from objects and symbols familiar to all the successors of Post-Soviet context. Relations between silent characters are poignant enough to arouse strong associations in the spectator, and, consequently, not without irony, to come to right conclusions. All this baggage of post-totalitarian heritage is called to provide an opportunity to rethink the problem of mutual past once again and to remember "The Rake" that is not worth stepping on. (more…)
