The staircases of the building are used as art spaces for the first time with installations by Jenny Holzer. In addition, for the first time ever, the PinchukArtCentre utilised the historical Bessarabskiy market hall located opposite for an eighty-meter-long frieze by AES+F.
All of the artists created special contributions partly in the form of new productions, of a special reappraisal of existing works or the selection of rare most recent work groups that have never been displayed as part of a major international exhibition. Overall, the PinchukArtCentre presented for the first time more than 10 works, including photo series by Richard Prince, sculptures by Anish Kapoor, photo installations by Cindy Sherman, video by Paul McCarthy and other.
Additionally, Jeff Koons' Balloon Rabbit a monumental sculpture from his famous celebration series is a world premier at the PAC together with other key works created over twenty years.
Curator - Eckhard Schneider, the General Director of the PinchukArtCentre;
Co-curator - Bjorn Geldhof, the artistic manager of the PinchukArtCentre.
