From June 12 to 22, artists-and-photographers-in-residence with ARS BALTICA / Nordkolleg Rendsburg Arthur Bondar and Oksana Yushko displayed their personal exhibition titled 'A Bridge too far'. The exhibition took place in several locations, with the main exhibition hall in a building on the Nordkolleg campus, and other venues in the historical museum, the forest, and on the canal embankment. Now that it is over, Arthur Bondar and Oksana Yushko reflect on it.
We were delighted to present this project to the residents of Rendsburg and Schleswig-Holstein, offering them a fresh perspective on the bridge and the surrounding area, bringing new information and perspectives. The project is primarily about unity and friendship between people, even during the most difficult times.
We were also happy that guests came to the exhibition from further across Germany and other countries. We were pleased to give several group and private tours of the exhibition and talk with visitors. It was clear that the guests were interested in more than just seeing the photos, videos, and objects we presented; they also wanted to learn more about us. In our opinion, this exhibition was a good way for us to get to know each other.
Beside the exhibition offline, the two artists-and-photographers-in-residence created an online version of the exhibition as a website with all the masterpieces that were exhibited during these dates accessible, for those who missed the exhibition, did not have the possibility to come or want to revisit.
