"From the Roots"
Volodymyr Semkiv
15.03.2023 – 21.05.2023
Can a tree dictate to an artist what and how to do? The exhibition "From the Roots" by Volodymyr Semkiv demonstrates this to some extent. The artist follows the tree and its shape and features in order to reveal them and add them to the theme of the work. It is the rough, as if unfinished preparatory gesture that becomes a feature of technical performance, and the chainsaw is almost the only tool of the artist.
"Almost all the works here were created in 2022–2023. Whether consciously or unconsciously, they are about this time:
A time of loss, and therefore, of hope,
A time of weariness, and therefore, of strength,
A time of trials, and therefore, of faith,
A time of fear and, therefore, of courage,
A time of extra effort and, therefore, of victory.
It's impossible to do it differently because of such a time..." - says the sculptor

Before and after the signal, from one missile strike to the next - there are only gaps in time, only temporary silence, until the war finally ends.

Lemberg Style
Volodymyr Kostyrko
06.12.2022 – 26.03.2023
The exhibition project is an embodiment of the installation concept and a reflection of Lviv's hybridity, says the project's author, Volodymyr Kostyrko.
"Lemberg Style" - it is a total installation on the theme of Lviv and its place in the history of modern Europe, where the picture recedes into the background, the space is filled with stories, objects and begins to be an active interlocutor. Four halls are filled with a mixture of modern art, history and objects of the past that reveal the theme of Lviv style.
