Contemporary art has returned to painting. That is why the project’s curator, Oleksandr Soloviov, and co-curator, Ihor Oksametnyi, invite us to consider painting as a space of continuous dialogue between artists of different generations and their ways of reflecting on Ukrainian reality in their works.

The exhibition brings together works by Ukrainian artists from two periods: from the second half of the 1980s through the first half of the 1990s, and from the last decade.

CURATORIAL TEXT

The exhibition consisted of seven halls of the Old Arsenal building.

Among the key themes of “Glimmering Connections” are myth and apocrypha, the human figure within the landscape, transformations of the body, quotations from art history and cinema, the ephemeral and the real, and painting as a means of questioning itself. The exhibition deliberately avoids a clear boundary between the two periods, allowing time to lose its linearity.

The exhibition is supported within the MUSEUM FUTURES program, implemented by Mystetskyi Arsenal and Art Arsenal Community, NGO, and made possible by RIBBON International.
