A new book on the work of Danish - Ukrainian architect, artist, photographer and curator, Sergei Sviatchenko.Recognition can come in many ways and can certainly take you by surprise.This is what happened when Sergei Sviatchenko, after many years of practicing as a visual artist, discovered the blogging culture in the two-thousands, and used it for his art photo project 'Close Up And Private', CLOSEUPANDPRIVATE.com.Creating images of men's clothing in the way he usually works, with his collage principles, brought him towards a large audience of people of different ages, all united by an interest in details, quality, and heritage or what he calls "visual language of style".Nominations for "The Best Dressed Man", "the winner of the World Blazer Competition", countless interviews and editorials followed, but the most important thing is that the project (or the site) "has become the regular go-to site for many men on a what-to-wear mission each morning".Book design by Sergei Sviatchenko and Per Freundlich Andersen.4 different cover images - these will be randomly allocated for orders.
Arguably one of the most influential innovators of modern collage. Sergei Sviatchenko's work leaves viewers in a state of satisfied confusion. The Ukrainian-Danish artist's intent and message might not be immediately clear or understandable, but his images still resonate with their viewers--like dreams. In the world of contemporary art, Sviatchenko is a provocateur. He draws on and harnesses all of the cultural tides he has experienced in 40 years of image-making. Sviatchenko's oeuvre spans the known and the unimaginable. It cuts through the boundaries of traditional and contemporary visuals to merge pop culture with politics, personal memory with collective histories, and architecture and s...

Ukraine is at a historic crossroads, with the nations complex cultural identity at stake. Curator Alisa Lozhkina provides an authoritative overview of the countrys art, artists and movements from the dawn of Modernism to the Soviet period, to post-Soviet times and Russias invasion of Ukraine in 2022. She discusses Ukrainian art and artists within historical and political contexts as well as showing how they have contributed to, and interacted with, Ukrainian culture and identity as the nation transformed from provincial status on the periphery of the Russian Empire, to a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, through to independence and the challenges of its most recent history. Arranged broadly chronologically and fully illustrated throughout, The Art of Ukraine offers a powerful opportunity to explore the rich and complex Ukrainian artistic tradition.
The upheavals of glasnost and perestroika followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union remarkably transformed the art scene in Kyiv, launching Ukrainian contemporary art as a global phenomenon. The previously calm waters of the culturally provincial capital of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic became radically stirred with new and daring art made publicly visible for the first time since the avant-garde period of the early twentieth century. As artists were freed from the dictates of the fading Communist ideology and the constraints of late socialist realism, an explosion of styles emerged, creating an effect of baroque excess. This exhibition catalogue traces and documents the diverse artistic manifestations of these transitional and exhilarating years in Kyiv while providing some historical artworks for context. Published in partnership with the Zimmerli Museum.
