AR-Resident Ievgeniia Kupchan

Ievgeniia Kupchan

Multidisciplinary artist, independent curator.

(b. 1992, Luhansk, Ukraine)

Since 2021, Ievgeniia Kupchan has been developing in Ukraine the method of post-performance introduced by French curator Marie de Brugerolle. She holds a BA from Taras Shevchenko Luhansk National University and an MA in Psychology from V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. Her practice was shaped by Marina Huts’ Contemporary Art course, Natalia Lisova’s Land Art School, and by directing and presenting the performance *Tie* for Lilia Pustovit’s retrospective collection inspired by Pavlo Makov during Ukrainian Fashion Week SS 25/26.

Working through the post-performance method, she combines photography, land art, performance, collage, interviews, essays, objects, and installations. She also works as an independent curator, developing collective and solo projects that extend her artistic practice.

Her work explores the body as a space of experience, choice, and identity, creating situations where audience interaction becomes an essential part of the artwork.

She has participated in Ukrainian and international exhibitions and residencies, including *NoCore: NewColab* (Finland, 2026), ART IN LOV Residency (Finland, 2025–26), the European International Book Art Biennale EIBAB *Artists’ Books: Memories of the Future* (Ukraine, 2025), ISSP Latvia Residency (2025), and the Third All-Ukrainian Levkas Biennale (Ukraine, 2024).
