In his paintings, photographs, sculpture, videos and performative installations, Ukrainian conceptual artist, Taras Polataiko deals with the history of the medium and develops projects that favor interactions. These pieces form a critique of societies' control over their citizens, giving concrete shape to the imperceptible, just as they speak to us about intellectual contamination and transformation - about what spreads and seeps into the collective unconscious. Polataiko's first solo exhibition with the gallery, presenting Scotoma, an interactive installation and performance piece, was shown in November 2008 - January 2009. Polataiko has most recently been invited to participate in the 2009 Incheon Biennial, curated by Heng-Gil Han, Incheon, South Korea for which he will be creating a site specific sculptural installation.
