II TRIENNIAL OF CONTEMPORARY UKRAINIAN ART
UKRAINIAN CROSS-SECTION means desire, need, necessity to see ourselves from outside.
The first triennial UKRAINIAN CROSS-SECTION [2010] was an attempt of self-identification. In the present triennial the process of introspection is important for us.
And the choice of the subject of this year’s UKRAINIAN CROSS-SECTION, which is liman, and is rather constructive than ideological, is significant in this context.
THE LYMAN, in our opinion, is actual symbolic space of contemporary Ukrainian art.
We are at the exit from one state and the entrance into another. We are among the delta of crossroads, in the situation of parting of the ways.
THE LYMAN is a changeable phenomenon, a transition period and at the same time an independent world.
THE LYMAN means infinite and unpredictable opportunities: flow, fermentation, preservation, stagnation, innovation, transformation, fluctuation and mutation.
THE LYMAN is mouths, straits, blind leads, estuaries.
The exhibit technology of the project itself will also resemble liman, and it is going to be one large and several specific genre defined expositions in various galleries of the city.
