THE 3RD UKRAINIAN CROSS-SECTION TRIENNIAL
While the analysis of the current cross-section of Ukrainian contemporary art, we’ll not be able to avoid the «war».
The first UKRAINIAN CROSS-SECTION Triennial of Ukrainian Contemporary Art (2010) was an attempt of self-identification; the second Triennial (2013) was important as a process of introspection.
While the inspection of the current cross-section of Ukrainian contemporary art, its components, details, fragments (which in previous projects looked like the result of an adequate «cross-section»), we can conclude that now they are rather the result of an «explosion».
That explosion is the catalyst, radicalizing the research level in transformational processes which are taking place in contemporary art of Ukraine.
We have to look, think, perceive, analyse changes in our life and current processes other ways.
We are accompanied by anxiety, weakness, hatred, migration, trauma, self-identity, catalyzing-fermentation process, transmission, dialogue, negotiation, compromise, paradox, aberration, ugliness, uncertainty.
The processes of rethinking, reappraisal, polar shifting are in progress – it’s the re-CREATION.
