On the 18th of September, «The Gathering Place» will host an event in cooperation with Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Hamburg and Berlin, which will take place at Kunsthaus Hamburg. In the frame of this event, Alona Karavai, a curator of Asortymentna Kimnata Gallery () in Ivano-Frankivsk, and Nikita Kadan, an artist from Kyiv, will present insights into current artistic creation in Ukraine during the war.

Alongside a selection of graphics, installations, and video art by various Ukrainian artists brought to the event, they will create a space for encounters and exchanges about the role of art in times of war and the change of artistic practice and perception.

Russia's brutal attack on Ukraine is directed not only against the people in the country but also aims to eradicate Ukrainian culture and language. The unimaginable became reality again, the "never again" could not resist the Russian aggression.

Moderation: Dr. Stefanie Wodrig - Political Scientist, Member of the board of the Heinrich Böll Foundation Hamburg.

We are thrilled to invite you to the upcoming event of «The Gathering Place», which will take place at Lichtmess Kino. We will be screening a silent film called «Fata Morgana» (1931), accompanied by a live music performance by Mykola Lebed. In this way, we want to revive and reimagine the classics of Ukrainian cinematography through modern music.

«Fata Morgana» was directed by the Soviet-Ukrainian film director Borys Tiahno in 1931. The film is rooted in the Avant-garde movement, which was characterized by experimental and innovative approaches to storytelling, visuals, and narrative structures. «Fata Morgana» is based on a novel by Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi, a prominent Ukrainian writer. The story is set against the backdrop of a peasant workers' strike that takes place at the beginning of the 20th century, exploring themes of social injustice and the resilience of peasants.

The film will be shown alongside the musical accompaniment by Mykola Lebed () – composer, multi-instrumentalist, and artist who works at the intersection of acoustic and electronic music. Mainly known as a saxophone player from the Ukrainian free improvisation and psychedelic music scenes, Mykola is far from being limited to just one instrument. His solo works range from minimalistic piano pieces and solo sax improvs, moving through ambient and leftfield electronics to the intense «all-together» heights, which you can usually reach during his live performances.

Free admission.

«The Gathering Place» is a place for learning, so we want to offer a unique opportunity to the artists who fled the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine and now find themselves in Hamburg. To enhance their skills in portfolio creation, we will host a workshop with a Hamburg-based artist and graphic designer Franziska Opel. During this session, Franziska will generously share tips and tricks to craft a professional portfolio, covering essential aspects of a layout, content, and many more.

Franziska Opel´s artistic practice regards signs and language as visual elements, woven into multimedia installations in such a way that what is initially described shifts and detaches itself from its original reading. Her works range between image and sculpture while layering cultural symbols and texts to evoke a web of associations and uncertainty. Opel delves into material properties and opens up different levels of meaning. Her focus is often on topics such as attraction and protection, closeness and distance, risk, and comfort.

The event will begin with a guided tour of the SPEAKING BACK exhibition, led by one of its curators, Katja Schroeder ().

This Thursday we gather at Kunsthaus Hamburg to meet with Ksenia Hnylytska (b.1984, Kyiv), one of the key figures in Ukrainian contemporary art. Ksenia lives and works between Kyiv and Munich. She is known as an interdisciplinary artist who experiments in a multitude of fields, including painting, drawing, ceramics, video, and more. During the event, we will look closely into a curated selection of Ksenia’s video works that cover an extensive period of the development of the Ukrainian contemporary art scene and Ksenia’s role in this.

In 2020 Ksenia was shortlisted for PinchukArtСentre Prize. Some of the selected projects are "Stratigraphy", Vozdvizhenka 32, Kyiv (2016), "Degree of dependence", Awangarda, Wroclaw, Poland (2016), "Let the two seas meet", Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie, Warsaw (2015), "Colour test", the Small Gallery at the Art Arsenal, Kyiv (2013), Gyumri Biennial (as part of the R.E.P. group), Gyumri, Armenia (2008).

In addition to her remarkable solo artistic practice, Ksenia has an extensive background in collaborative projects. She played a pivotal role as a co-founder and member of «R.E.P» collective, whose impact on the contemporary art of Ukraine is difficult to underestimate. The collective exists almost for 20 years and was established as a reaction to the “Orange Revolution” in Ukraine. From the beginning, the group has been focused on questions of coexistence and self-organization. They formed grassroots institutions, cooperation platforms, and forums for sharing ideas. With these initiatives, the collective explores important social issues. During the artist talk, we will have an opportunity to have a look at some of the collectives’ video documentation.

See you soon!

The program will be held in English. Free admission

Let us introduce the Óstov Collective, an art collective formed in Leipzig, Germany a few weeks after the russian military aggression against Ukraine began. The collective consists of Elza Gubanova, Leon Seidel, Anna Perepechai, and Emilia Sladek. Their artistic practice focuses on conceptual space-specific installation art. The collective works in an interdisciplinary and participatory-oriented way, often inviting external artistic positions to be part of their projects. Besides, the collective has also curated group exhibitions and organized cultural events, urging to create long-lasting relationships between artists and cultural workers in Germany and Ukraine in this way. The collective's primary goal is to encourage an open society and solidarity, as well as to inspire and contribute to social change. If you are interested in the collective art practices, we will be waiting for you at our next event on the 13th of May in Kunsthaus Hamburg!

Photos in order: Sound installation “ZLAM”/“Sit down tragedy: about horizontal connections in Ukrainian society”. A talk with Oleksandr Naselenko/ installation “Óstov table”/ exhibition “Sensing places / placing senses”.

Hello everyone! I'm Lesia, part of the team at Kunsthaus Hamburg and the driving force behind «The Gathering Place» project. As a refugee from Ukraine myself, I feel the importance of this project in helping fellow art enthusiasts navigate through these uncertain times. Having had the opportunity to enter Hamburg University of Fine Arts after the full-scale war broke out, I know firsthand how education can empower and provide a sense of stability. «The Gathering Place» aims to be a hub for connection, learning, and cultural enrichment, fostering a sense of Ukrainian community in Hamburg. Let's come together and make this a space where we can share experiences, exchange knowledge, and support each other.

Привіт всім! Мене звати Леся. Я є частиною команди Kunsthaus Hamburg, а також рушійною силою проєкту «Місце Збору». Як біженка з України, я розумію, наскільки такий проєкт може бути корисним для пошуку свого місця в скрутні часи. Отримавши можливість вступити в Університет мистецтв в Гамбурзі, я відчула на собі, як навчання може додати сил та відчуття стабільності. «Місце Збору» має на меті стати платформою для єднання, розвитку й творчості, плекаючи відчуття української спільноти в Гамбурзі. Нумо зберемося та створимо місце для обміну досвідом і знанням, а також підтримки одне одного.

Kunsthaus Hamburg, a home for «The Gathering Place», is a center for contemporary art. Located in the heart of Hamburg, the center occupies a former market hall that has been transformed into an exhibition space. The center's exhibition program is diverse, with a focus on supporting the up-and-coming generation of artists.
