Anton Lapov (Anton Makarevych) is a media artist, computer musician and curator from Ukraine. He has been curating and participating in events in the field of experimental electronic music and media-art in Ukraine and abroad for more than a decade. Lapov's artistic practice combines methodologies of humanities and critical theory with computational aesthetics ideas. At the moment Lapov works on interactive movement-sensing audio environments with the premises that such an artistic medium can stimulate political articulation and production of new non-linguistic knowledge. Beside artistic practice Lapov also investigates and archives contemporary East-Ukrainian artist practices. In 2015-2022 he was a researcher in the Open Archive of Ukrainian Media-Art. Lapov holds a MFA degree in Art (with concentration in Digital Technology) from Arizona State University and a master degree in Prehistory and Archaeology from National University "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy"

Project info

During his residency at MQ, Anton Lapov will present the artist talk "East-Ukrainian Complex." In this talk, he will focus on key aspects of his artistic and curatorial practice, rooted in his early involvement with the art scene of the pre-war Donbas.
Lapov will reflect on both completed projects and ongoing works, situating them within a broader narrative about the marginalized art and music scenes in Luhansk and Donetsk—from the early 1990s to the present day.
Particular emphasis will be placed on non-institutional forms of artistic self-organization, as well as on strategies of care and resilience developed within the Donbas art community, which has been grappling with the realities of war for over a decade.
