Many thanks to the artist Olia Fedorova for her lecture Young Ukrainian Art within the Studio Program at BAI | Berlin Artist Residency, Art School & Arts Incubator.
“It will be a talk about who are the young artists in Ukraine, which topics are they interested in, what questions they try to arise and which problems they face on the first steps of their career. I will show some works from the artists of my generation that I think can illustrate what is happening in the Ukrainian young art scene today.” (Text by courtesy of Olia Fedorova)
Olia Fedorova was born in 1994. She graduated at Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts of Kharkiv (Ukraine), where she lives and works.
“Her research is based on the language phenomenon, gathered in its fragility. By means of a plurality of expressive means, numbers, graphic signs and symbols, the artist investigates the mechanisms of supply and reading of contents, their interpretation and retransmission and, at last, the role played by each person, group, or an entire community in the communication processes.” (Text by courtesy of Yuliya Say)
Solo exhibitions of Olia were held in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa. Finalist of the contest for young Ukrainian artists MUKHI 2017 (Kyiv, Ukraine, 2017); winner of the contemporary visual art contest of Nathan Altman (Vinnytsya, Ukraine, 2017); finalist of the Ukrainian Biennale of Young Art (Kharikiv, 2019). Took part in residencies and group exhibitions in Ukraine, Poland, United Kingdom, Austria, Germany and USA.
Currently Olia Fedorova is a resident of the BAI Residency Program at the BERLIN ART INSTITUTE as part of the EXTER program funded by the UKRAINIAN INSTITUTE. Her upcoming show “Nothing Will Come of Nothing ” at Circolo (Turin, Italy) curated by Yuliya Say starts on October 08, 2019.
