Open Group was founded in 2012 in Lviv by six Ukrainian artists. The group’s structure has 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, thus exploring the concept of collective work, interaction, and communication between people, artists, situations, and spaces. Since 2011, the group members have been running independent art spaces, such as the Detenpyla Gallery and the Efremova26 Gallery in Lviv, Ukraine.
