Vsevolod Kovalevskij

VSEVOLOD SEVA KOVALEVSKIJ (born in Vilnius) is an artist and curator whose work questions and reimagines contemporary perceptions of identity, memory, and space. He works across moving image, sculpture, textiles, photography, and installations, creating immersive experiences that transform everyday environments into provocative arenas for critical engagement.

Kovalevskijs’ practice is characterised by a fascination with the hidden narratives of our lives. By transforming intimate domestic spaces – particularly in the gallery InTheCloset – he probes the boundaries between public and private, visibility and secrecy. His works skilfully combine research-based insights and playful humour, inviting viewers to engage in a thoughtful and unexpected dialogue. Exploring themes of social disclosure and the politics of secrecy, his projects encourage a radical rethinking of the familiar.

His works have been exhibited in Lithuania and abroad, including at the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius; Galerija Vartai, Vilnius; Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), Vilnius; Tromsø Kunstforening, Norway; Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo, and many other international venues.
