Artists for Ukraine

Artists from Ukraine (coordinator: Nikita Kadan), Belarus (coordinator: Marina Naprushkina) and Russia will project works onto the main façade of the MQ and the façade of the Leopold Museum. The artists, among them Hito Steyerl, are using their work to oppose the occupation of Ukraine. Over the coming days, this show of solidarity will be expanded to include further pieces. The installation is updated daily and can be viewed from 18:00 to 23:00.

Artists:

Antanina Slabodchykava, Nikita Kadan, Mykola Ridnyi, Kateryna Lisovenko, Hito Steyerl, Marina Naprushkina, Ulyana Nevzorova, Yuri Leiderman, Oleksiy Radynski, Vlada Ralko, Yaroslav Futymsky, Anna Jermolaewa, Kristina Savutsina, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Uladzimir Hramovich & Lesia Pcholka, Aliaxey Talstou, Sergey Shabohin & Christoph Ogiermann, Dariia Kuzmych, Oleg Soulimenko, Julia Zastava, Yuri Albert, Olia Sosnovskaya, Aleksander Komarov, Mykyta Lyskov

Some of the participating artists have already been Artists-in-Residence at MuseumsQuartier or have featured in exhibitions, such as Nikita Kadan at mumok in 2019, giving them a direct link with Vienna. The concept envisages showing 10 to 12 contributions in a range of genres in a loop. Artists are left to decide the format, with a maximum length for each projection of around 2 minutes. The artistic intervention is planned as a dynamic installation and contributions will change frequently in reaction to current developments.
