Overview
Kateryna Lysovenko (b. 1989, Odesa) is a Ukrainian artist. She studied at the Grekov Odesa Art School, then at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture, Kyiv. In 2017–2016 she took a course in contemporary art at Kyiv Academy of Media Arts and in 2019 a course at Method Fund.
She focuses on the research of power and ideology and the transition from the Soviet to the contemporary. In her artworks, the victim's image often emerges, no matter which topic she chooses – either the dominance of the art academy or right-wing violence, religious oppression, and harassment.
Her works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including Collateral Event of the 60th International Art Exhibition the Venice Biennial (Venice, IT); Handle with care, Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art (2023, Budapest, Hungary); Motherland, Museum Ephraim-Palais (2023, Berlin, Germany), Kaleidoscope of (Hi)stories. Ukrainian Art 1912–2023, SKD, Albertinum (2023, Dresden, Germany), Goodbye, East! Goodbye, Narcissus!, Estonian Contemporary Art Museum – EKKM (2023, Tallinn, Estonia) among others. Kateryna Lysovenko's works have been highlighted and reviewed by The New York Times, Financial Times, ArtDaily, e-flux, Vogue Polska, The Village Voice, Monopol magazin and Blok Magazine.
Lives and works in Vienna, Austria.
