Four years ago we created Gallery of Scenography thanks to the support of Department of Сulture of Lviv City Council. We have exhibited Ukrainian and foreign scenographers, have hold the first scenography festival in Ukraine thanks to UCF, have been parties to Tbilisi Biennale of Stage Design. We’ve created webpage, which we plan to develop into an electronic catalog of Ukrainian scenographers, where they will be able to publish information of themselves for free to become more visible. It helps to reach a new level, because Ukrainian scenography is not so known in the world. Prior to the first Scenography Festival in 2018 at the national level, there were no events in Ukraine that would cover the artists of the stage and their activities, thus giving them the opportunity to share experiences, to learn and to feel valuable. We want to continue this practice and use Scenography Festival as platform to preparing for Prague Quadriennale of Scenography 2023.
Gallery of Scenography organizes exhibitions since September 2016. Gallery of Scenography has permanent placement for events due to Lviv City Council and Lviv Drama Theater named of Lesya Ukrainka. During the period of activity there were about 30 exhibitions of artists from all over the Ukraine and some foreign artists. Our goal is organization events like those in future in order to promotion os Ukrainian scenography and educational activity.
Why is our project unique? Scenography Festival, which Gallery of Scenographe organized in 2018, was the first event of this scale in the field of performing art in Ukraine. At that time, the Festival of Scenography has the following directions: exhibition classical (historical scenography); exhibition in the city space (street scenography); creation of scenographic spaces (for staging during the event); exhibition of international participants; educational direction within the festival; competition for young set designers; educational laboratory for cooperation of scenographers and directors. Also unique are the achievements of the event, because it is not only the results of exhibitions, but also educational materials, a platform for communication between stage artists, exchange of experiences, enabling the experiment of participating artists.
Gallery of Scenography has been working with this audience for more than 4 years. In fact, the proposed idea of the festival aims to cover the most popular gaps for scenographers of Ukraine, namely the need of communication with each other and sharing experiences, gain experience from other countries, the possibility of experimentation, and non-formal education.
Organizer of Lviv Quadriennale of Scenography 2021 is Gallery of Scenography.
Place: Lviv, Ukraine. The Quadrennial will take place over 3 days in the first days of October 2021, in several different locations of the city (National Art Museum, Scenography Gallery, Art Factory, open street space and other locations).
Lviv Quadriennale of Scenography 2021 is supported by the Lviv City Council. The main source of funding is a state grant from the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation. Lviv Quadriennale of Scenography is also supported by other Ukrainian state and non-state organizations, in particular the Ukrainian Institute and Museum of Theater, Music and Cinematography of Ukraine. Support and partnership Lviv Quadriennale of Scenography has from the Trienniale of Scenography named after D. Lider (Kyiv, Ukraine) and Tbilisi Bienniale of Scenography (Georgia). We also plan to invite representatives of the Prague Quadrenniale of Scenography to participate.
