Live at Gallery Konstepidemin invites you to an evening with international guest artists Auzelle Epeneter and Nataliya Zuban. Auzelle Epeneter will kick off the evening by sharing unconventional learning and research methods that have helped expand her creative thinking. This will be followed by an artist talk with Nataliya Zuban – currently exhibiting at the gallery with her installation Silence in Between.

TALK BY Auzelle Epeneter

Guest artist Auzelle Epeneter is a writer and poet visiting from Southern California. She will share some unconventional methods of learning and research that have helped her expand her creative thinking. She’ll discuss how an online group dedicated to non-hierarchical, community-based learning transformed her writing practice, and how she uses everyday activities like hiking, photography, and time-keeping as structures to write and finish new poems.

ARTIST TALK WITH Nataliya Zuban

Nataliya Zuban (Ukraine/Netherlands) is currently exhibiting her installation Silence in Between in the gallery while staying at Konstepidemin as an IASPIS Studio Grant holder until the end of May. This evening, she will discuss an artistic practice that spans sculpture, installation, video, and kinetic media.

Her work engages with memory, trauma, and the material traces of historical and personal events, focusing deeply on fragility, transformation, and cycles of creation and destruction. During this residency, she is experimenting with and testing prototypes for a new kinetic installation centered on tension and duration. The project examines how fragile structures behave under pressure, how time functions as an active element in sculpture, and how kinetic systems shape changing spatial and sensory experiences.

Zuban holds an Interdisciplinary PhD from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw, Poland (2018–2021), and BFA/MFA degrees in Ceramics from the Lviv National Academy of Arts, Ukraine (2009–2015).
