Valeriia Tarasenko: Anxious Pink
@ John David Mooney Foundation
114 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60654
Opening Thursday, July 13th, from 5:30PM - 7:30PM
On view through Saturday, July 29th
The John David Mooney Foundation is thrilled to announce Anxious Pink, a solo exhibition of painting and installation by Ukrainian artist Valeriia Tarasenko.
Marking the culmination of Tarasenko’s Ukrainian Art Bridge Fellowship residency at the Foundation, Anxious Pink presents the artist’s first impressions of Chicago – from familiar sites, to new faces, and personal moments – and couples this with personal, diaristic, and political reflections. Tarasenko deftly interweaves these personal and collective narratives in large scale canvases, fiber pieces, and works on paper, examining shifting and conflicted notions of ‘home’.
Join us for an opening reception Thursday, July 13, 5:30pm–7:30pm, and experience this powerful work in person.
The exhibition continues through July 29, viewing by appointment.
Valeriya Tarasenko (b. 1988, Kyiv) studied at the Polygraphic department of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Since 2008 she has worked as a teacher at the art school. In 2013 she graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts Faculty of Painting Restoration department. Valeria is also co-founder of an organization which works with Down syndrome people — “Atelier Normalno”.
