<sub>Sergey Kantsedal is a curator whose practice has been shaped over a decade of institutional work and independent collaborations across Turin, Milan and Kyiv. Operating at the intersection of visual art, performance, and fashion, his research unfolds through exhibitions, live formats, estate works, and collective projects developed in close dialogue with artists from different generations and career stages. He sees artistic and curatorial practice as a way of producing micro-communities based on mutual interest and support while exploring alternative approaches to identity, subjectivity, and sociability.

Over the years, Kantsedal has collaborated with public and private institutions. Since 2018, he has been running Associazione Barriera, a non-profit institution in Turin founded by a group of collectors in 2007. He has also worked with Salzburger Kunstverein in Salzburg, Cité internationale des arts in Paris, PinchukArtCentre and the National Art Museum of Ukraine in Kyiv, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, OGR Officine Grandi Riparazioni, and Artissima in Turin, Triennale Milano, MUDEC, and Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, MAMbo in Bologna, and Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto in Biella, among others.  

He graduated from the State Academy of Design and Arts in Kharkiv. He participated in MEDITERRANEA 18 – Young Artists Biennial in Tirana and the transnational research program A Natural Oasis? (San Marino, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Malta). He also attended the Third Moscow Curatorial Summer School, organised by the V–A–C Foundation, and the CAMPO curatorial practices course at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin (2015–2016).

He is also the curator of Fondazione Albion, an organisation dedicated to preserving, promoting, and enhancing the legacy of Italian artist and fashion designer Domenico Albion (1923–2020).
