This screening has been organized to coincide with Olexander Gnilitsky's and Lesja Zajac's six week residency in Los Angeles. It attempts to enhance understanding and appreciation of contemporary life and art in Ukraine by putting Gnilitsky's and Zajac's video work in context with other Ukrainian artists (Vika Begalska, Gleb Katchuk + Olga Kashimbeckova, Yuriy Kruchak, R.E.P Group). The screening also includes two artists from Moldova (Veaceslav Druta and Stefan Rusu), a country that shares a Soviet past and is experiencing similar cultural, political, and social transition. As well, to offer a comparative perspective from the position of outsiders, two U.S. artists (Tim Hyde and Adam Frelin) who shot work in Ukraine and Belarus are also included. video descriptions
