See a curator’s harrowing journey from war-torn Kyiv to Venice to install the art for Ukraine’s national pavilion:
On February 24, the day Russia attacked Ukraine, Maria Lanko, a co-owner of the Naked Room Gallery in Kyiv, woke up to the sounds of explosions. It was a shock, but not a surprise for Lanko and her community.
Lanko, a co-curator of the pavilion, understood that, whatever happened, “I could just take them to Venice, and anyway we will be present there even if it was a symbolic presence,” she said at the Talking Galleries New York conference last week. “At least there will be a part of the work that’s the core of it.”Her journey took three weeks, during which unimaginable things happened back home. “February 24 is the end of history,” she said. “The end of the end of history.
Lanko’s car window broke along the way and it was impossible to fix it. “The road was very complicated, more or less jammed all the time. The accommodation was almost impossible to find,” she said. “I was sleeping in very, very cold houses, with random people.” Courtesy: Maria Lanko.
