INSTYTUT AVTOMATYKY

Instytut Avtomatyky is an artist-led initiative operating as an experimental creative laboratory. Avoiding mimetic approaches to expression in contemporary art, the group focuses on experience, work with unconventional materials, engagement with space, and the use of found objects (readymades).

Instytut Avtomatyky was founded on July 20, 2020, by artists Maksym Mazur and Andrii Pidlisnyi in the building of the Kyiv Institute of Automation at 22 Nahirna Street, where an artistic community and creative hub emerged.

Among the group’s priorities are the creation of exhibition projects and artistic events, as well as the development of international collaborations between artists based on shared artistic principles.

Instytut Avtomatyky operates beyond the framework of a fixed exhibition format and employs a collective curatorial practice that involves the participants of each project.
