Art collecting — hobby or science? Workshop by Victoria Nikitina on the Artsvit gallery collection as part of a children's art programme

Tomorrow, participants in the youth course ‘About Art Here and Now’ will embark on an exciting journey to the Artsvit gallery’s storage facility. Our collection curator, Viktoria Nikitina, will be their guide to the world of art.

At the workshop, teenagers will learn how works of art are preserved, get acquainted with the works of artists, and see with their own eyes the various artistic techniques that masters use to embody their ideas in works of art. We will talk about the phenomenon of collecting and its exciting experience.

Expanded Edition of Ukrainian Female Artists' Names on Secondary Archive

The new edition (IV) of Secondary Archive Ukraine focuses on the theme of return:

— the return of artists who have become military service members to the art field through bringing visibility to their practice and personal histories;

— the return of artists who were born or professionally realized abroad but maintain strong ties to Ukraine - not only through their identity, but also through the themes they address (migration, trauma, periphery, etc.). In this case, the return is understood as discursive and intellectual re-engagement with the Ukrainian art context;

— drawing attention to artists who have remained on the margins of visibility and outside dominant or visible communities.
