With the global presentation of YOUTH marking one year since the start of the Russian-Ukraine war on 24 February 2022, CIRCA collaborates with Anne Imhof to present #YOUTH24 - a 24 hour print fundraiser. Taking place on Friday, 24 February 2023, proceeds generated from the sale of each #CIRCAECONOMY print will be donated to the United Nations CERF and Ukraine Humanitarian Fund, aiding youth and the countless others affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
“I hope this work will continue to move people and raise questions like what if freedom, hope and peace are possible? What if we start believing in it, because we all wish for it, and need it so bad? I hope the funds generated with CIRCA enable the United Nations CERF to provide aid and support to those in Ukraine. And I hope too that this war ends soon. Thank you so much to everyone for your support.” - Anne Imhof
ABOUT THE RELEASE
A recurring motif in Imhof's paintings, billowing technicolor clouds create a multilayered, three-dimensional effect that is translated into print form with four separate colour screens. The artist will hand-sign and personalise each print in the edition with a painted detail that is not currently visible in the visual renderings.
This 24-hour print sale will begin after an extended 10-minute presentation of YOUTH on London's Piccadilly Lights, 24 February 2023. All proceeds will be donated to United Nations CERF and Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Fund.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
YOUTH was originally intended to be shown at the Garage Museum, Moscow, but was cancelled due to the start of the Russian-Ukraine war on 24 February 2022. Set in Moscow, YOUTH presents a group of horses running and communing together in an open field covered in freshly fallen snow. They seem to nurture one another, moving beautifully and freely through the natural environment to the baroque strains of J. S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion. As day moves slowly into night, the film reveals the site to be an urban one, a historic social housing development located at the edge of the city. Severnoye Chertanovo, which was built in the late 1960s, was developed as an experiment in mass housing after the Stalinist era. Humans are absent from the film, which touches on ideas of space, displacement and disorientation.
CIRCA 20:23 presents YOUTH by Anne Imhof coincides with the largest presentation of the artist’s work in the United States to date and her first solo exhibition in Los Angeles at Sprüth Magers, on view until 6 May 2023.
