List of the exhibitions
In 1994, the second solo exhibition, Alter Idem, took place at the Brama Arts Center in Kyiv and was interrupted for only one day by the artist himself after members of the women’s club sitting in the gallery tried to cover Chichkan’s work with pieces of cloth.
The artist’s works have been exhibited in leading galleries and museums in Europe, the United States and South America, as well as participated in prestigious forums and festivals of contemporary art – Biennale in Sao Paulo (1996), Biennale of Contemporary Art in Johannesburg (1997), Prague Biennale (2003), The Belgrade Biennale (2004), the European Biennale Manifesta (2004), and the Venice Biennale (2009).
In 2009, Chichkan represented Ukraine at the 53rd International Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art – the oldest and most prestigious of all world art forums, participation in which is traditionally considered one of the highest achievements in the career of an artist or curator. Together with the Japanese artist Micharo Yasuhiro Chichkan, he prepared the project “Steppes of Dreamers” – a total multimedia installation (music, video, performance) in the ancient Palazzo Papadopoli (Venice). Part of this art project was the involvement of the famous Ukrainian boxer Volodymyr Klychko as a curator.
