The artists exhibited in their own studio and held underground exhibitions in Lviv, showing conceptual paintings and graphic prints, objects, installation, they also took part in the activity of non-conformist art groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1988 which brought about first opportunities of freer movement, the Kopystiansky emigrated to the West. They lived and worked from New York, later on, later on, from Paris and Berlin. In the 1990,s they started created video art. The couple\u2019s creative output the West is primarily associated with their video work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The artists have given exhibitions at the museums and galleries worldwide, they have been part of the major international exhibitions and biennials. The Kopystiansky archive is kept at the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Their artwork has been acquired by the MoMA, the Metropolitan and the Whitney American Art Museum in New York City, the Tate Museum in London, the Berlin Gallery, MUMOK in Vienna, New South Wales Art Gallery in Sidney and other leading institutions of modern and contemporary art. The artists\u2019 activity is presented by a number of catalogues and international art publications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>New visual experiences from appropriated images<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Already since 2020, visitors to the Radvila Palace Museum of Art in Vilnius are able to familiarize with the artwork by Svetlana and Igor Kopystiansky, at a permanent exhibition <em>Protest Art: The Rebels of the Soviet Era<\/em> featuring the Vladimir Tarasov\u2019s gifted-to-the-museum collection, installed in renovated premises. The collection includes works on paper by Svetlana Kopystiansky and the impressive paintings by the artists: the hand-written <em>Landscape <\/em>(1980) by Svetlana Kopystiansky and <em>Painting-Object<\/em> (1985) by Igor Kopystiansky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The current retrospective by the creative duo extends this presentation and familiarizes with the artwork by the Kopystiansky, highlighting the individual \u2013 and shared \u2013 strands of their art.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Their juvenillia were anchored to modern avantgarde ideas (especially by dada and its pioneer Marcel Duchamp), they used the appropriation method on a large scale, \u2018borrowing\u2019 and conceptually adapting images and texts already in circulation. The individually created pieces on display reflect this powerful influence, which with time evolved into aesthetic and conceptual experiments in the media of the moving image\u2019,\u00a0 relates director of the Radvila Palace Museum of Art, Justina Augustyt\u0117.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exhibition includes videos <em>Drawing a White Line<\/em> (1979), <em>Double Fiction<\/em> (2008), <em>Pink and White<\/em> (2006), and <em>A Cup of Coffee<\/em> (2019), presented for the first time in Lithuania. Reusing television and film materials (by Alfred Hitchcock, Ingmar Bergman, Jean-Luc Godard and other directors) the artists create unexpected, intense and new cinematographic experiences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exhibition at the Radvila Palace Museum of Art will be enhanced by a publication on the art by the Kopystiansky.
