About the Event
Oleksandr Halishchuk
I miss Ukraine
On November 5, “Chvert”, a festival of DIY art and Ukraine’s underground scene was held at the Gunpowder Tower in Lviv. The project was initiated and co-authored by a multimedia artist, queer-anarchist and activist Oleksandr Halishchuk from Melitopol (a town in Southern Ukraine) who is currently living in Poland and was unable to attend the festival in person.
Workshops of Culture in Lublin and Labirynt Gallery invite you to the multimedia exhibition showcasing the video materials Halishchuk received from the event’s organisers and coordinators –“Undercover.residence”, “SRZ-4”, “Teletransfer” and “Coschey Lab”.
The materials capture and document all festival events, featuring circuit bending workshops, that is the act of creatively using short circuits to create fresh sounds with low-voltage electronic devices such as toys or small synthesizers), thrash printing, the barber and piercing shop “nomer.47” supported by Raiskii_raiii (Paradise Heaven), performances, noise and experimental music concerts, indie DJ sets and alternative music, artworks, and grassroots initiatives.
Waldemar Tatarczuk, the director of Labirynt Gallery, who attended the “Chvert” festival on 5 November, will speak with the artist at the opening reception on 2 December.
