"MADE IN KYIV ~ MADE IN NEW YORK", commissioned by the D. Hoydysh Endowment for the Arts, will be debuted this fall at the Ukrainian Institute of America's Fifth Avenue galleries during the month of November 2005.
This exhibition of new intaglio prints is
timed to coincide with The International Fine Art Print Dealer
Association's Fine Art Print Week in New York City. The planned
world tour of the portfolio will culminate with a closing exhibition
and celebration in Kyiv during May 2006. Mr. Hoydysh was assisted
by freelance program coordinator Alexander Demko in the development
of the project initiated some two years ago.
Ukrainian artist contributions to the portfolio come from Oleh
Denysenko, Konstyantyn Kalynovych, Kostiantyn Antiuhin, Sergiy Ivanov,
and Sergiy Hrapov. The New Yorker's contributing to the project
are Stephen A.
Fredericks, Andy P. Hoogenboom, Denise Kasof, Steven Walker and
Tom B.
White.
The prints have been published in an edition of 60 with no artist
proofs.
The American prints were pulled on radiant white Somerset paper,
and the Ukrainian prints on a crème toned Arches printmaker's
paper. Each of the prints measures 11" x 15" to the outside
margin with varying plate sizes.
Oleh Denysenko, in addition to his print, designed the exclusive
presentation folios. Special features include cover embossing
and labeling with characters developed by the artist specifically
for the project.
The Ukrainian Institute of America is a nonprofit organization
founded fifty years ago whose primary mission is to showcase and
support Ukrainian culture. To that end, the Institute affords the
general public an opportunity to learn about Ukrainia and how the
Ukraine spirit expresses itself with special emphasis on the creative
arts.
The portfolio will be on exhibit at the Institute from November
4-30th 2005. Viewing hours are Wednesday thru Sunday 12pm -6pm.
