Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine
(curators METASITU in the context of the second Сеанс Міського Сканування festival)
In the Promprylad factory (Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine) that was just about to declare bankruptcy I found a stage not used for many years. I improvised a setting from found objects (inside and outside of the factory, in the streets of Ivano-Frankivsk), hoping to make it alive one more time...to tell the story about this factory as it is now, opposing everyday life in Ukraine...(some of the elements in the stage installation are: Ukrainian flag, video "workers movement" that is reflecting in the mirror, wire circle associating barikades in KIev, small radio playing favorite station slightly off tune, chess board next to the flag, ladder and womens shoes on the newspapers - interpretation is then left to the imagination of the viewer)...The whole room was neglected and used as a storage for broken furniture, as a parallel around the room I placed the workers answers to a questio–n - what do you wish for?
Blank posters/space for collaboration, containing a question: what is progress? Anybody in the street can write an answer, or do any kind of intervention related to the question… Collaborative mural in the forgotten space were workers use to gather for their daily meal breaks. Also beneath Ivano-Frankivsk string quartet (city philharmonics) playing their repertoire for the workers at the opening...

A MONUMENT TO SOMETHING THAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN
Natural scenery through enlargement is brought down to particular relationship of mass, colors, lines and shapes.
Confronting panels carry events, stories and atmosphere of abstract scenery of distant spaces, distant worlds and are the representation
of the essence which is without anybody’s direct interference, that can become a plausible ground for completely new conclusions.

ALL MEN ARE EQUAL - ALL MEN, THAT IS TO SAY, WHO POSSESSES UMBRELLAS
Title ia a quote from Howards End by E.M. Forster: Chapter 6....This piece is another absurd combination in order to provoke. It is about inequality, hard work, freedom and about the struggle of the artist to express here self as truthful as possible.

FINDING A CITY
I have found the city - on the streets, run down facades, scribbled walls, torn underground passages, electric boxes with posters on them. Uneven cracks, freely combined remains of different layers of paint, children’s messages on the walls. All that reminded me of free form, emitting a sense of freshness and unpretentiousness. Thus I found, in a city organized within the known frame, a dimension that links it with nature. A dimension which is not given in advance through laws and planning, but a dimension where I can feel free to make my own conclusions and where all these abstract images associate with the worlds that I have lived and can live. This installation is a place where the remains of an urban culture are revived and thus the exhibited space becomes the essence of the things that can be found scattered about, being unable to emit their substantial properties and going unnoticed.
