AR-resident Liubov Romaniuk’s exhibition at Myymälä2

 

We are proud to share that our Artists at Risk (AR) Safe Haven Helsinki resident Liubov Romaniuk is presenting her exhibition The End and the Beginning at Myymälä2 gallery from the 8th to the 16th of February. We welcome you to join us for the opening on 7.2. at 17:00!

 

In the exhibition, Romaniuk (1999, Ukraine) reflects on questions about the current state of the world in a moment when, according to her, ‘our world stands on the edge of collapse and almost everything we hold dear—nature, relationships, and life itself—hangs by a thread’. Her patterned and elaborated drawings encourage us to see the world as a lost paradise and imagine what may lie in the future. Romaniuk sees that the end is coming but simultaneously believes that a new beginning will follow. She wonders what the world will look like, and asks ‘will it be something unexpected and beautiful?’.

 

Romaniuk’s exhibition explores almost elegiacally the fragility of our present and the possibilities of the future shaped by our choices. It doesn’t seek to dictate how we should think but invites us to reflect and timely ask “Are we ready to lose this extraordinary world?”, Myymälä2 writes.  

 

When? 8.-16.2.2025, opening: 7.2. 17:00

Where? Myymälä2, Helsinki
