Biography

Anton Tkachenko (1994) is an artist, curator, and the founder of the self-organized space 127 garage, the contextual gallery NULLA. He has been nominated for the MUHI and NonStopMedia festivals. Tkachenko has participated in exhibitions in Ukraine (Kharkiv, Lviv, Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy), Poland, Germany, Austria, and Portugal, as well as the international symposium of contemporary art, Biryuchiy, the GOGOLFEST festival, the Odesa Biennale of Contemporary Art, and Documenta fifteen. Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Currently, Anton`s artistic practice encompasses various media, including graphics, video, installations, and the creation of art books. However, his creative method remains largely consistent, namely the use of two or more objects (items, techniques, materials, or anything carrying meaningful or symbolic significance) to which Anton adds graphic imagery, resulting in a sensory collage. Through this collage, the artist seeks to reinterpret the functionality of objects, impart new meanings, and create new emotional and symbolic storylines that he conveys.
