Curating before, during (and after) war: Ukrainian case.
Lecture by Lizaveta German
Paulusplatz 5, Seminarraum 2. Stock
1030 Wien2022 October 20 / 14:00Curating today can be many things, as proved by a good deal of literature on the subject.
In her professional practice, Kyiv-based, temporary Vienna-relocated Lizaveta German has tested many of those “manies”. Curating is an adventure, Lizaveta believes. Especially if you dare to choose a free-lancer’s path in Ukraine. In her statement, Lizaveta will speak about her most recent experience of producing new exhibitions, including the Ukrainian pavilion at the 59th International Exhibition–La Biennale di Venezia, and of different ways to support Ukrainian artists in times of war. Curating comes from latin curare, which means to care. It seems like a good time to restore the true meaning of this word.
