Events & Collaborations
In 2017, Maria Kulikovska together with Oleh Vinnichenko integrated their sculptural works with design clothing, presented at Vsi.Svoi store in Kyiv, Ukraine. This collaboration became the first MKOV Studio's collab with the fashion industry representatives. Since then the works, created by MKOV Studio, have the opportunities to re-transform their artistic role to the practice role. Body as Mannequin is a long-time project of MKOV Studio, within of which the full-sized sculptures from ballistic soap or epoxy resin, soap busts and others sculptural body's parts of the artist have taken the mannequin's function, at the same time not losing their complicated engineered metaphors, their performatives and autobiographical – their «conflict?» background, their genetics.
