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.

Denise Batchelor, EXPERIMENT 120 for Border Crossing
Amondo Kino, Warsaw, Poland (and at Medyka border and in Przemyś)
02 March —
30 May 2022
BORDER CROSSING CHILDREN’S FILM FESTIVAL sets out to hold screenings for children/families at the official refugee reception centers both at the Polish/Ukrainian border and throughout the country as we face an expanding refugee crisis. Launched by Bianca Lucas and Weronika Jurkiewicz on March 2nd, 2022, the festival is a response to Russia’s official, full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In its first phase, the initiative sets out to hold screenings for children/families at the official reception center at the Medyka border, at a reception center in the transit town of Przemyś, and at Amondo Kino in Warsaw, where many refugee families will eventually make their way.
Experiment 120 is an itinerant programme of experimental films for young audiences initiated by artist and curator Marie-Pierre Bonniol in the spring of 2020. Exploring 120 years of experimental films, Experiment 120 offers perspectives of different types of film expressions in historical programmes, which also include animated films, video art, documentations on artworks and films made by children. New Zealand's Denise Batchelor has three short films included in the programme: Just breathe, Chrysaora Colorata, and Owl Breathing.
