The guest of the episode is Lesia Khomenko, whose practice combines intellectual depth, scale, and inner discipline.
We talk about the creation of a 21-meter work at Kyiv’s central railway station — from the fear of the blank canvas and panic attacks to teamwork, drone filming, and the catharsis of completion. We discuss her exhibition at PinchukArtCentre and collaboration with Björn Geldhof, the path from the R.E.P. group to a cohesive authorial program, life between Kyiv and New York, workaholism, teaching, attitudes toward the market, archiving, and the place of Ukrainian artists on the global stage.
This is a conversation about the strength of identity, the vulnerability that follows major projects, and painting that “hits the brain” no less powerfully than performance.
