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.

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.

We will discover what secrets the Great River has hidden beneath the water, build cardboard bridges, write a short diary of a future traveller, create our own tram line with unusual stops, invent their names, and draw a map of the starry Dnipro. There will also be many other discoveries, adventures, encounters, and creative experiments along the way!
