Collection Online: New Perspectives

We are excited to invite you to a long-awaited event for the Artsvit team — the presentation of the gallery’s collection website next Friday!

The event will feature Victoriia Nikitina, curator of the collection, and Oksana Barshynova, art historian and Deputy Director of the National Art Museum of Ukraine. The discussion will be moderated by Oleksandra Shovkun.

During the presentation, we will talk about private collections, their importance and role in Ukrainian art. A special focus will be placed on the unique character and value of our collection for the regional community, as well as its significance for preserving cultural heritage.

What else will we discuss? We will present our approach to creating convenient online access to the collection, including different ways of searching for artworks that may be of interest to users. In particular, we will talk about contextual keyword search, which reveals the diversity of the collection and opens up opportunities to explore and discover it from multiple perspectives at once.

We will be happy to see you at the event — to hear questions, suggestions, and thoughts on your own vision of the collection and the aspects of it that feel most relevant today.

When: Friday, September 11, 6:30 PM.
Admission is free, registration required.

Design: Alla Sorochan.

The project is being implemented as part of the MUSEUM FUTURES programme, which is being implemented by RIBBON International and Mystetskyi Arsenal in cooperation with the Mystetskyi Arsenal Community NGO.

Today, we critically rethinking the contours and extent of this influence and learning to distinguish what is ours from what was imposed on us. This is not only a cultural process but also a personal one: a process of reclaiming an identity alienated by Moscow-centrism and russification.

Announcing the Results of the Open Call for the Open Studio Programme

For eight Saturdays, one of the gallery’s spaces will transform into an Open Studio. The invited artists will introduce their artistic practices and activities through public artist talks and workshops available by registration. At the end of the day, we invite you to continue the informal conversation and reflect on the gained knowledge and impressions in the cosy atmosphere of Dniproprostir.

Each workshop offers different ways of giving artistic form to ideas: from working with textiles and pastel made from coal dust to reinterpreting artefacts from family photo albums and recreating the forgotten technique of sgraffito.

Programme participants: Svitlana Ahranovska, Emma Hamza Grünwald, Oksana Zharun, Inga Levi, Anastasiia Leliuk, Olesya Papushnikova, Anna Taradina, Emma Hamzayeva, Asya Yakovlieva.
