“Activist”  is now open! We have welcomed so many of you to the gallery last week. Concerned with the impact of the war on nations, Tkachenko, as a photographer and visual artist, seeks to leverage his role to effect change. By undertaking activist projects and publicly voicing his concerns, he believes that artists can contribute more to societal issues.

Recently, he has expanded his body of work into the realm of video. We are excited to present five video works in this solo exhibition: “Fireworks”, “Peace to World”, “Screen”, “Room” and “Russia.” Moreover, in a collaboration with artist Katya Kabalina, there’s “Unstable Borders.” Hope to see you all in the gallery space soon! Lastly, we would like to share with you the highlights of the opening!

About 2F Screening Room @ UP Gallery
A new initiative commenced in 2024 through collaboration with LG, designed to accentuate the significance of moving images, videos, and film works. Over the course of the entire year, within an exclusive and intimate space located on the 2nd floor of the gallery, five distinct solo exhibitions featuring artists’ works will coincide with 1st-floor exhibitions focused on photography. The gallery aspires to broaden both temporal and spatial dimensions, providing our audiences with the opportunity to deeply engage with artistic practices that demand extended contemplation and more intimate settings.
*We extend our appreciation to LG for their sponsorship, enabling the impeccable presentation of works through The LG OLED evo 8K 88inch Prestige Series television.
