14 OUR LIFE • December 2024 THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM 222E6NYC Tatlin: Kyiv The Ukrainian Museum will cele - brate the many contributions of artist Volodymyr Tatlin with the exhibition Tatlin: Kyiv , opening in early February. Volodymyr (Vladimir) Tatlin (1885–1953) was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and became a prom - inent avant-garde artist who made significant contributions to the world of art, design, and architecture. The founder of constructivism, Tatlin lived and taught in Kyiv, Ukraine, from 1925 until 1928. This exhibition will chronicle his time and work in Kyiv and celebrate his legacy. The exhibition will also serve as a valuable education platform for the decolonization of Ukrain - ian art history. By bringing to - gether Tatlin’s artworks from his little-known Kyiv period, re-cre - ating his Kyiv studio, and high - lighting his teaching and students at the Kyiv Art Institute, the exhi - bition will contribute to the pres - ervation of Ukrainian avant-garde history. Furthermore, it will give the public an opportunity to en - gage with and learn about Tatlin’s seminal vision, fostering greater appreciation for the artist and his many contributions. February 6 – April 27, 2025 Although Volodymyr Tatlin inspired generations of artists, many of whom are being show - cased around the world, his artwork is rarely presented as a solo exhibition. This exhibition will be his first in North Ameri - ca. Because of his conceptual and ephemeral way of working, many of his original works no longer exist, except as later re - constructions. It is The Ukrain - ian Museum’s intention to re - construct Tatlin’s Kyiv studio, remake his stage and podium for the Kyiv Art Institute’s 10th anniversary in 1927 and the first constructions of his Letatlin fly - ing machine, and highlight for the first time his illustration and design work with Kyiv journals, book publishers, and theater productions. The works of var - ious artists who studied with Tatlin will also be exhibited to create a robust context for this exhibition. The Kyiv Art Institute, which opened in 1924, had been di - rected by a young and energetic cultural manager and revolu - tionary named Ivan Vrona. He wanted to create a Kyiv Bauhaus at the Institute, which was based on the first Ukrainian Art Acad - emy. Vrona invited a number of artists and professors from around the USSR to bring new ideas and strategies for art edu - cation.
