und frühe Kunstaktionen in der DDR

The exhibition is dedicated to the producer gallery Clara Mosch, which existed from 1977 to 1982 in Karl-Marx-Stadt (today Chemnitz), as well as the artist group of the same name that developed from it.

CLARA MOSCH and Early Art Actions in the GDR combines original works of art and editions together with photographs and videos from the Ralf-Rainer Wasse Archive of the Lindenau Museum Altenburg collection. It is the first institutional “solo exhibition” in Berlin, which deals with the work of Clara Mosch.

01.03.2023 . 7:30 pm
AMINA AHMED & MAYA HISTOROVA

Registration: post@kvost.de

The curators of the exhibition Ukraine. Work-in-Progress, Amina Ahmed and Maya Hristova are going to have a conversation devoted to the process, the fragile and long work of the artist in the field of war, the impossibility of completing a statement — a condition familiar to most actors of the Ukrainian cultural scene. Ahmed, who has been conducting long-term interviews with the selected artists for the upcoming book, is going to offer insights on their artistic practice. Hristova is going to share the story of RGULAR as a support initiative and how what is happening currently in Ukraine fits into the larger context of Eastern European photography.

KVOST ARTIST TALK . VICTORIA PIDUST

13.12.2022 . 7:30 pm
VICTORIA PIDUST & VITALII SHUPLIAK

Registration  post@kvost.de

Victoria Pidusts panoramic work Untitled to war I is currently on view at KVOST, as part of the project Screen[far]shots.

Untitled to war I was created on the basis of a photo diary from a trip to Kyiv in spring of 2022. The images appear abstract at first glance, but behind each of them is a reflection of the horrors of war – the destroyed building of a shopping mall. Using photogrammetry and artificial intelligence, Victoria Pidusts final 2D images deliberately play with the shortcomings and flaws of digital scans, raising the question of veracity and Russian manipulation of information, including modern propaganda and the use of deep fake. During the talk, Pidust will show her previous work and discuss her work process.

The talk is part of the project Screen[far]shots, curated by Vitalii Shupliak.
