NET MAKING. The National Pavilion of Ukraine at the 60th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia
Katya Buchatska, Oleksandr Burlaka2024, Katalog
The catalogue of the National Pavilion of Ukraine at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia offers extended information and reflections on the Net Making project, as well as the featured individual works, with contributions from artists, curators, and invited thinkers.
The National Pavilion of Ukraine, curated by Viktoria Bavykina and Max Gorbatskyi, presents the group exhibition Net Making, which draws from the practice of collective weaving of camouflage nets as a metaphor for joint horizontal actions. It features works by Katya Buchatska, Oleksandr Burlaka, Andrii Dostliev and Lia Dostlieva, Daniil Revkovskyi and Andrii Rachynskyi as well as the communities with whom the artists have worked together. The Ukrainian Pavilion project will address the topic of otherness through personal experiences of war, emigration, and assimilation in new societies, and the transformation of language under the pressure of violence. Burlaka, who created the architectural structure of the presentation and Buchatska, who has been working several years with neurodiverse artists for this project had both been short-term fellows of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program in 2022 and 2023.
The catalogue includes installation shots and various visual materials that not only capture the final form of the Net Making project at the Arsenale in Venice but also document the development of the exhibition and the four individual projects that constitute it.
The publication was made possible with the support of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program with special funds from the German Foreign Federal Office.
The international distributors of the catalogue are Idea Books and Antenne Books.
