De Structura Unveiling Structures

Unveiling Structures is first and foremost an Augmented Reality (AR) exhibition that displays artworks and curatorial projects from 36 art professionals from 20 European countries. The artists explore and question topics of memory & time, body & intimacy, connecting with nature, spaces for dialogue, tech & culture, self & other, beneath the ordinary, and seeing through colour. 

Nine virtual reality rooms can be viewed in Telliskivi Creative City’s Outdoor Gallery or also at home. You can read an AI-generated newspaper by Wen Chen, delving into the ambiguity surrounding the political status of Taiwan in East Asia and beyond, as well as explore the possibilities of artificial intelligence, consciousness, and the human-machine relationship in a performance with Ania Duldiier. The skin as an archive, sexuality in the digital age, and new models of social interaction are some of the themes explored by artists Miriam Poletti, Catherin Schöberl and Justyna Grażyna Tuchorska. Can moss transform into a blanket or embroidery? Our relationship with the natural world in the age of environmental crises is central to the works of Eline Anna Gaudé, Emily Jean Doyle and Sanna Josefiina.

The exhibition is curated by Yana Ustymenko with Anastasia Lemberg-Lvova and Kateryna Lypovka. 

Launched in 2021, De Structura provides peer-to-peer and expert support for young professionals at the early stage of their careers. The organisation has a special emphasis on empowering individuals aged 21 to 35. Through research, discourse and creative work, it aims to uncover and rethink the dominant paradigms and structures of the European art world. “The sector struggles to materialise its own critique of society and too often disregards the innovative approaches suggested by newcomers. In its quest for openness at large, the art and culture sector has become isolated, closed and protective within”, stresses De Structura founder Anastasia Lemberg-Lvova.
