We are pleased to announce Again (Again), an exhibition project with works by Daria Dmytrenko, Barbara Prenka and Bogdan Koshevoy, curated by Arnold Braho, presented on the occasion of the opening days of the Venice Biennale. Again (Again) brings together three distinct yet resonant practices, and unfolds as a reflection on repetition understood as a restaging of memory: the phantasmatic return of images, gestures and practices that follow not a temporal but rather a spatial linearity, from an East European perspective, resurfacing through successive stratifications. Repetition is here understood as a process of continuous inscription, in which the past manifests in the present as active residue and spectral presence. Dmytrenko’s work evokes suspended emotional landscapes through a material sensibility and layered surfaces, in which memory appears sedimented and unstable: layers that address amnesia, what is deposited and what is lost. Prenka works reducing form to precise and silent gestures that interrogate repetition as a process of formation and dissolution, between archive and historical memory. Her embroidery draws inspiration in its forms and colours from contemporary social practices and new philosophical and scientific openings. Koshevoy operates against a backdrop of post-industrial, decaying architecture, from which images, forms and returns emerge: repetition becomes method and temporal logic, producing ever-shifting relations between figure and ground. 📍 Venice, Giudecca 212/c 🗓 Preview: May 5, 11:00–16:00 By appointment: May 6–10, 2026 (to book your spot please write an email to the Project Manager, Giada Bartolini @jadetocreate , at [email protected])

Ascolto la polvere delle tue mura

We met Ukrainian painter Bogdan Koshevoy @bkoshevoy for a studio visit in Venice, on the island of Giudecca. Born in 1993 in Dnipropetrovsk and based in Venice, Koshevoy told us about his visual research between post-apocalyptic atmospheres, architectural memories from his hometown, and landscapes suspended in time.  In his works, towers become metaphors for isolation, protection, and observation, while painting landscapes becomes a way to explore and to build something of one’s own.

Nato nel 1993 a Dnipropetrovsk e di base a Venezia, Koshevoy ci ha parlato della sua ricerca visiva tra atmosfere post-apocalittiche, memorie architettoniche della sua città natale e paesaggi sospesi nel tempo. Nelle sue opere, le torri diventano metafore di isolamento, protezione e osservazione, mentre la pittura del paesaggio si trasforma in uno strumento di esplorazione e costruzione di un proprio linguaggio.

In a thought-provoking interview, scholar Stefano Mudu @s.mudu , who contributed to @ceciliaalemani ‘s research for the 2022 Venice Biennale, dives into the concept of reenactment as a strategic and critical methodology. From his doctoral work at @iuav_venezia , Mudu introduces the idea of a “migratory cycle of images”. He also reflects on Celant’s bold reenactment of the 1969 Bern exhibition at @fondazioneprada , showing how reinvention can create friction between past and present, raising important questions about authorship, authenticity, and museum authority.

A partire dal suo dottorato presso @iuav_venezia , Mudu introduce l’idea di un “ciclo migratorio delle immagini”. Riflette inoltre sull’audace reenactment della mostra di Berna del 1969 realizzato da Celant presso @fondazioneprada , dimostrando come la reinvenzione possa generare tensioni tra passato e presente, sollevando interrogativi su autorialità, autenticità e ruolo dell’istituzione museale.
