The world's biggest art festival has added the open-air exhibition of Ukrainian art, titled the Piazza Ucraina, to its line-up.
It will be situated in the Giardini, where many national pavilions, including the U.S. one, are located. Artist and architect Dana Kosmina has created the space for the pavilion, which will be host to a “constantly changing” set of artworks, according to the curators. An artist list for the show has not yet been revealed.
“Ukrainian users of popular social networks gather around these artworks virtually, exchange thoughts, and create new narratives,” the curators continued. “Together, these sequences of artworks create a sort of agora, a meeting point, a piazza.”
