Open Group, THE SHADOW OF DREAM*, CAST UPON GIARDINI DELLA BIENNALE, 2022 *Dream - is a literary translation of Mriya — Ukrainian aircraft, the biggest in the world (until February 2022)
Description: At the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the aircraft was based at Antonov Airport in Hostomel, undergoing repairs. During the Battle of Antonov Airport, the Russians captured the site twice. On 24 February, the An-225 was said to be intact. On 27 February, a press release by Ukroboronprom confirmed that the An-225 was destroyed. In the photo, you can see Mriya aircraft in the hangar at Antonov Airport in 2019.

Edition: 5+1 Artist ProofOpen Group was founded in August 2012 in Lviv by six Ukrainian artists. The group’s structure changed over the years, and its present members are: Yuriy Biley, Pavlo Kovach and Anton Varga. They occasionally invite other artists or others to take part in their projects and join the Open Group.
Group’s work is based on research of the interaction and communication between people, artists, situations and space. Also, artistic practice is based on the study of the concept of «collective work». Group members have been running independent art spaces, such as Detenpyla Gallery or Еfremova26 Gallery (2013-2014) in Lviv, since 2011.
Open Group won the Special Distinction of the PinchukArtCentre Prize in 2013, and the Main Prize in 2015. Their works were featured at the Ukrainian National Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale. In 2016, the Open Group curated the show entitled Dependence Degree, Collective Practices of Young Ukrainian Artists 2000-2016 (Wrocław, Poland). In 2017, the group’s work was presented in frames of the Future Generation Art Prize @ Venice 2017 (collateral events of the 57th Venice Biennale). In 2019, the Open Group was the curator of the National Pavilion of Ukraine at the 58th La Biennale di Venezia.
Mriya (An-225) - Designed in Kyiv by the Antonov Design Bureau. Intended primarily to transport cargo for the Soviet space program, including multiple-launch Buran spacecraft and components for Soviet Energia rockets. With a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tons, it is the largest and heaviest aircraft in the world. The fact that the Dream was designed in the USSR nods to the contradictions of heritage and culture at the end of history. For all its technological ambition, only one copy of the Dream was produced, making it both an unparalleled engineering feat and a symbol of unmet expectations.
