EUK | a selling exhibition for Ukraine
On 29 March from 5 pm EUK, an exhibition curated by BLINDARTE opens in the BLINDARTE Milano space in via Palermo 11.
The exhibition aims to be a further moral support, through culture, to Ukraine in this difficult moment and to encourage and to add an economic contribution through the purchase of works of art.
The title EUK, union between the acronyms of European Union and Ukraine, and the chromatic similarity between the 2 flags want to offer reason for reflection on the possibility of helping a European country, which for about a month has been suffering a devastating military invasion, and the current relationship between the same country and the supranational European Union to which the former has applied to become member. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the works will be donated to support the emergency in Ukraine.
Among the works on display: those of the artists who have been collaborating with BLINDARTE for years such as Davide Cantoni, Ukranian Flag 2022 (on the invite) one of 5 small works made especially for the exhibition (acrylic paint on paper burned with sunlight), Adam Cvijanovic, Simon Keenleyside, and artists particularly sensitive to the theme such as Emilio Cavallini, present in the exhibition with the work Biforcazione giallo-bleu of 2018. Works by artists such as Mimmo Paladino are also on display, imposing and of undoubted quality his painting created between 1997 and 1998, or by the Russian artist Leonid Sokov, with his iconic bronze sculpture with red paint, and by the Perzi collective, also Russian, as well as works by Stephan Balkenhol, Sandro Chia, Aaron Young, Federico Guida, Huang Yan and Hughie O'Donoghue. Among the works, only the one by Cantoni was created specifically for the exhibition, the others, coming from artists or private collections, were included for curatorial reasons, based on their artistic quality, ability to dialogue with each other in relation to the theme and to raise public awareness.
The works will be visible on the BLINDARTE website in a special section, one part of works can be purchased privately, another can be purchased by the highest bidder through the simple and effective BLINDARTE online auction system.
We hope that peace will return to Europe and to the whole world as soon as possible. In the incessant wait, BLINDARTE is likely to organize other events in the future to support the end of the war and the return to civilization.
The exhibition will be open from 30 March to 4 May 2022 every weekday from 11 to 13.30 and from 15 to 19 at the Milan office of BLINDARTE in Via Palermo 11.
