About this title

Synopsis

The catalogue of the National Pavilion of Ukraine at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia offers extended information and reflections on the Net Making project, as well as the featured individual works, with contributions from artists, curators, and invited thinkers. Net Making refers to the process of weaning of camouflage nets needed at war to protect people and equipment from the aggressor's attacks. While born of tragic necessity, this collective effort becomes a form of therapy, social connection, and a symbol of self-organisation, horizontality, and joint action, fostering the emancipation of its diverse participants. The project explores the theme of otherness through personal experiences of war, emigration, and social integration. The catalogue includes installation shots and various visual materials that not only capture the final form of the Net Making project at the Arsenale in Venice but also document the development of the exhibition and the four individual projects that constitute it.
