PCUH Exhibit Travels to Winnipeg
May 12 - June 30, 2008 | Oseredok Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba
The PCUH travelling exhibition Far, Far Away: Postcards from Pre-Revolutionary Ukraine will open May 12 in the gallery wing of Oseredok, Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The exhibition consists of one hundred and thirty four postcards of Ukraine's pre-1917 urban landscape. The postcards " late nineteenth and early twentieth century originals " speak to this distant past, providing charming representations of a lost world and a forgotten time. They also serve to document changes in the built landscape while articulating a particular aesthetic, one that inclined as much to the imaginary as it did to the real.
Curated by Prof. Bohdan Kordan and organized by STM's Prairie Centre for the Study of Ukrainian Heritage and the STM Art Gallery, Far, Far Away: Postcards from Pre-Revolutionary Ukraine will be on display May 12 - June 30, 2008. The exhibit opening and reception will be held May 12, 7:00 pm in the gallery space.
