Between the Breaths of the Walls Doors Open Inward

Про подію

[{"insert":"Join us for the opening of Between the Breaths of the Walls Doors Open Inward, a group exhibition by eight young Ukrainian artists in which they examine what it means to exist within absurdity as a new, enforced form of reality. \n\nDiana Demianenko, Nika Shumeiko, Maria Charkina, Artem Deineka, Nicole Davydova, Anna Vekhnyk, Daryna Sviatun, and Oleg Savin each turn to the image of a room as a conceptual model of contemporary experience. The room here is not a backdrop, it is a structure that accumulates contradictions. In-between safety and danger. Between familiarity and its slow dissolution. Between the desperate need for calm and the impossibility of attaining it. \n\nWe exist in spaces that are simultaneously refuges and zones of risk. We perform rituals that have lost their original meaning, just to preserve some sense of the mundane. We handle objects whose functionality has quietly become conditional. Absurdity is not a device here, but an accurate name for an experience that does not allow alternative definitions.\n\nThe doors open inward. This forces you to take a step back before exiting the room.\n"}]
