Kateryna Lysovenko b. 1989
Overview
Kateryna Lysovenko (b. 1989, Odesa) is a Ukrainian artist. She studied at the Grekov Odesa Art School, then at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture, Kyiv. In 2017–2016 she took a course in contemporary art at Kyiv Academy of Media Arts and in 2019 a course at Method Fund.

Her works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including Collateral Event of the 60th International Art Exhibition the Venice Biennial (Venice, IT); Handle with care, Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art (2023, Budapest, Hungary); Motherland, Museum Ephraim-Palais (2023, Berlin, Germany), Kaleidoscope of (Hi)stories. Ukrainian Art 1912–2023, SKD, Albertinum (2023, Dresden, Germany), Goodbye, East! Goodbye, Narcissus!, Estonian Contemporary Art Museum – EKKM (2023, Tallinn, Estonia) among others.
