Maksym Khodak (Bila Tserkva, 2001) spent a month in Budapest as an exchange artist with the Budapest History Museum – Budapest Gallery in April 2022, a mere months after Russia attacked Ukraine. During his stay, he created a series of seven sculptures entitled “Empty Pedestals”, three of which are located in Hungary, installed in three of the Budapest History Museum’s affiliate institutions – the Budapest Gallery, the Kiscell Museum– Municipal Gallery and the Castle Museum – as per the artist’s instructions.

Maksym Khodak will inaugurate his objects on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 24 February 2023, in the frame of a public artist talk at the Budapest Gallery. The three objects will be on display for a month.
 
The artist talk will take place in English. The public event is admission free.
