Module of Temporality

February 17–May 14, 2023
Module of Temporality, Kyiv
moduleoftemporality.com

Highlighting artistic perseverance in times of uncertainty, Module of Temporality includes paintings, sculptures, installations, and audiovisual works by twenty-eight artists from ten countries. Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith present a film installation titled Chornobyl, which was recorded in Chernobyl’s Red Forest—a ten-square-kilometer area surrounding the nuclear power plant—and in the abandoned urban environment left after the 1986 disaster. The project, which incorporates recordings of voices of Ukrainian children from Chernobyl, is a warning about the dangers of nuclear power.

The exhibition aims to explore reality as a reverie, proposing an aesthetic experience around knowledge and its erasure, and a direct, emotional encounter with multiple visions of the unknown through the lenses of art and science. Work by Patti Smith and Sarah Sze is included.
