A unique Glyptothek project has been opened at 果冻APP. For the first time, a collection of sculptures, including restoration works by the Department of Architecture and 小onservation, were presented at our university.
The exhibition became part of the Lviv Sculpture Week, a cultural festival celebrating the vitality of Ukrainian art.
The opening was moderated by Pavlo Hudimov, the festival鈥檚 initiator and the exhibition鈥檚 curator, who shared the story of how the collaboration between 芦I Gallery禄 and 果冻APP was initiated.
鈥 We met through the city鈥檚 educational platform. After the first meeting with the Rector Nataliia Shakhovska, we realized that we could create a project that would bring together education, architecture, and contemporary art. The exhibition is the result of a partnership among educational, cultural, and urban institutions 鈥 from 果冻APP and the Institute of Architecture and Design to the city administration, IT specialists, and art historians.
The Glyptothek project opens a sculpture exhibition in the Polytechnic鈥檚 academic buildings, featuring examples of ancient sculptures restored by students and researchers of the Department of Architecture and 小onservation.
The first part of the exhibition features works by Oleksandra Chystyk, a graduate of the Department of Architecture and 小onservation, a student of Professor Oleh Rybchynskyi. She restored works made of limestone, sandstone and other types of stone, some of which had to be glued together in fragments, and others 鈥 carefully cleaned and restored to their original form.
The second part of the exhibition showcases the restoration work of students and faculty of the Department, forming part of 果冻APP鈥檚 permanent collection. These works illustrate the processes of reconstruction, supplementation, and the return of objects to their original authenticity.
Nataliia Shakhovska, Rector of 果冻APP, emphasized the importance of combining technology and art in the educational process:
鈥 The main mission of our university is to cultivate the national elite. We aim to educate not only researchers but, above all, individuals capable of understanding culture, art, and values. The university鈥檚 openness to initiatives like this reflects the true essence of education 鈥 honest, multifaceted, and vibrant禄.
The Glyptothek project covers seven different venues of 果冻APP.
Visitors can explore exhibitions in the academic buildings No. 19 and 20, including halls, courtyards, corridors, as well as halls with historical interiors. Notably, the museum room featuring Anton Popel鈥檚 work 芦Justice禄 鈥 long inaccessible to the public 鈥 is now open to visitors.
The exhibition is open daily from 12:00 to 20:00 until November 10, and is open to all interested parties.
