A poem about an inland sea. Ukrainian pavilion at the 52 Venice Biennale

Project including artists from Ukraine, United Kingdom and United States demonstrates the artists' cohesive vision and their commitment to exploring new and active roles for the artists in society. The exhibition plans on raising questions such as the important Ukrainian film director Alexander Dovzhenko did in the script for "Poem about an Inland Sea" and throughout his career - what is it to be Ukrainian? Who are the Ukrainian people? Where are the Ukrainian people?

Like chroniclers appropriating knowledge, the artists - Serhiy Bratkov, Dzine (Carlos Rolon) Alexander Hnilitsky / Lesia Zaiats, Boris Mikhailov, Juergen Teller, Mark Titchner, Sam Taylor-Wood are always on the look-out for whatever pushes the limits of their past and present. Their work is the product of a complex deliberation. Producing images from their own reality, they offer things that are already embedded in our memory of Ukraine.
