Judy Millar in 5th Kyiv Biennial: Against the Logic of War
Ukraine, Austria, Poland, Belgium and Germany
17 October —
17 December 2023
The fifth edition of the Kyiv Biennial takes place across Europe at locations in Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Uzhhorod, Berlin, Warsaw, Lublin, Antwerp, and in Vienna. In view of the Russian attack on Ukraine, a comprehensive biennial project in Kyiv long seemed deeply uncertain, if not impossible. But, with a cascade of openings—starting in Kyiv in October 2023, finishing in Berlin in 2024—the fifth Kyiv Biennial does takes place this year.
The project aims to reintegrate the Ukrainian artistic community, divided by war and scattered across Europe, and to enable its actors to work together with international colleagues and partners on the cultural, social and environmental challenges Ukraine is currently facing and to place them in a global context. In this year's historical exhibition, Aotearoa artist Judy Millar exhibits her 2017 painting Hollow Bones, courtesy of Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary.

Ilke Gers, ENTROUVERTE by 019
LLS Paleis, Antwerp, Belgium
10 September —
22 October 2023
What happens if you leave the front door ajar — half closed, or half open? From 10 September 2023 onwards, Ghent-based art collective 019 shifts the edges and dimensions of LLS Paleis’s art space. As a response to John Körmeling’s intervention, 019 constructs a new entrance. Part of the exhibition space temporarily turns into a front yard. As such, what is in- and outside, public and private, art space and sidewalk, is critically questioned by a simple gesture. 019 curates a program in the in-between, with artists adding subtle interventions to test the possibilities and limits of such a vaguely defined, semi-public space—a space obeying different rules, welcoming other visitors, and generating both solicited and unsolicited artistic additions.
With contributions by amongst others: Stijn ter Braak, Lizzy Ellbrück, Ilke Gers, Mathew Kneebone, Tony Matelli, Jan Minne, Mark Redele, Stéphanie Saadé, Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Lois Weinberger.
