Activities

We conclude the exhibition Ukrainian Diary by Boris Mikhailov in a special way: with a performance by the dance company Ukrainian International Ballet.
 

Amidst Boris Mikhailov's works, the dance company will give a sneak preview of their latest production, Ballet24.Independent, which premieres a week later at the Korzo Theater in The Hague.
 

The company performs three times on August 18th: at 13:30, 14:30, and 15:30.
 

The performance is free to attend, but a museum ticket is required. It can be purchased online or at the ticket counter.
 

About Ukrainian International Ballet

In connection with the opening of the two exhibitions, Chris Killip - Retrospective and Lisa Barnard - The Canary and the Hammer, we will have a conversation with Ken Grant (Chris Killip expert and curator of the exhibition) and Lisa Barnard.

We will look back on Chris Killip's work with Ken Grant, discussing Killip's career from his early series Isle of Man to his later works such as the series Skinningrove. How did Killip work, and how did his deep connection with the working-class communities in Northern England develop?

With Lisa Barnard, we will discuss her project The Canary and the Hammer, for which she conducted extensive research on the societal significance and impact of gold throughout history. We will also talk with her about how she combines traditional documentary photography with modern use of artisanal techniques to make invisible processes visible.
