Igor & Svetlana Kopystiansky
16 November – 29 February
A retrospective put together by the American conceptual artists Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky specifically for the museum space includes the artwork created by each of the them individually prior to the emigration to the West where their collaborative stage gained impetus. The event features still photography, works on paper, canvas, objects and video.
The artwork by Ukrainian- and Russian-born Svetlana and Igor Kopystiansky has been featured by the international biennials and museum events of consequence and is part of the collections by the leading museums. Several pieces by the artists are showcased at the Radvila Palace Museum of Art as well, as part of the Protest Art: The Rebels of the Soviet Era, the only permanent exhibition of non-conformist Soviet-period art currently on display at the art institutions across Northern and Central Europe.
