Barvinskyi Gallery is pleased to present “Pangea”, a group exhibition bringing together eight international artists whose practices explore notions of connection, displacement, and the shifting boundaries that define our shared world.

Taking its title from Ryts Monet’s work “Pangea” — a large-scale hand-drawn map reimagining the prehistoric supercontinent through the political geography of today — the exhibition examines how ideas of unity and fragmentation coexist across time, matter, and emotion. 

The presentation includes Kosta Tonev’s “This Land”, a double-sided light box that reveals the ambivalence of territorial language, and Enar de Dios Rodríguez’s “Greetings from…”, a series of postcards uncovering the global circulation of sand that sustains idealized landscapes. Jasmina Cibic’s “The Gravity of Care” transforms tears into a rotating bronze globe, while Pablo Chiereghin’s “A trip between two imaginary points” inserts fiction into geography: a road sign placed along the Romea highway between Venezia and Ravenna points toward two invented destinations, turning a mundane landscape into a meditation on imagination, distance, and belonging. Coco Fusco’s video “The Empty Plaza” then meditates on absence and collective memory.

Javier Carro Temboury’s “Intercontainers” reconstruct fragments of ceramic vessels into hybrid forms that dissolve hierarchy and function. Finally, Farniyaz Zaker’s “Surface Depth” and “Surface Tension” explore the interplay between transparency, ornament, and obstruction.
Through these diverse perspectives, “Pangea” proposes a poetic reimagining of the world as a continuous, living surface — one where materials, stories, and emotions flow across borders, briefly reuniting what was once whole.
