How Ukrainians Were Looking For Happiness Alena Boika | Ukraine | 01.03.2005
HOW UKRAINIANS WERE LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS
Not everybody loves revolutions. One person is afraid of them and hates them; someone else hides behind hypocritical clichés. I adore revolutions. It is the time when the overwhelming majority gets to forget any tendency to think about washing machines, albeit briefly. And all those joyful feelings burst forth “We will win” and “Everything is yet to come.” I was fortunate to be able to go to…

FROM BLANK SPOT TO EXOTIC MARGINALIA
Culture Policy in Post-Revolution Ukradne According to Boris Groys, art and policy operate in the same space today. We live in a society in which every major politician generates many more pictures and images than any artist. Even second-rate terrorists and politicians are much more effective than the most famous artists. Terrorists blow up a bomb, and the entire world’s media network along…
Everyday Life Natalia Filonenko | Ukraine | 01.03.2005
EVERYDAY LIFE
Everyday Life is a title that can unite several new projects created by Ukrainian painters. Maxim Mamsikov’s penchant is the everyday life of present-day offices and streets. Vasily Tsagolov is curious about the life of criminals, and Vladimir Kozhukhar takes an interest in the reality of hypermarkets. So, their choice to work with “slow” genres such as painting and sculpture may seem an…

KOSCHEI THE DEATHLESS, MERMAID, AND OTHER…
Painting is probably one of the oldest forms of cultural communication. This is why the different stages of its fate - failure or end, return or success - are all the time the focus of attention of the artistic world. Today, interpretation of painting evolution is more complicated than that of relatively new genres such as photo or video as it has always been a rule to refer the action on canvas…

IN EXPECTATION OF RELOADING: UKRAINIAN MEDIA ART
Paraphrasing Voltaire, one could say that if contemporary art did not exist in Ukraine, it would be necessary to invent it. Fortunately, contemporary art does exist in Ukraine. But the mere fact of its existence seems increasingly paradoxical: contemporary art depends directly on the degree of development of art infrastructure and cultural policy of the state. For almost twenty years, this…

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...
Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
