Exhibition catalog: Discourse of War
This exhibition is about the impact of the war on the lives and creative paths of artists in Ukraine and worldwide. We want to show how artists’ attitude to art has changed during this year. How changed the vector of their creativity and attitude to the language of art in connection with these events. War has no nationality or religion. War has an impact on everyone individually and on all of humanity in general. Our goal is to show how artists from different parts of the world perceive war. This is an art discourse between artists and viewers.

About artwork
It seems to be footage from an action movie or a video game. The main character is following
the car of his friends under a heavy sky into hell itself: helicopters and rockets
are flying overhead, something is constantly exploding, smoke is rising here and there
on the horizon.
But this is not a movie. This is reality. The reality of people who less than a year ago
from this moment simply lived their lives, had dreams, made plans.
Stop and think about one of the 73 000 people lived in Bakhmut before February 24
2022, as well as in other Ukrainian cities and now are homeless. About those who lost
everything they had or even someone dear. About those who lost teir lives.
About the reality of those who are risking their lives defending our country from russians
there, near Bakhmut, flying helicopters or driving in a pick-up truck there, to hell
itself, where everything is burning and exploding...
Про роботу
Здається, це кадри з бойовика чи відеоігри. Головний герой їде за машиною
своїх друзів під важким небом у саме пекло: над головою літають вертольоти
та ракети, постійно щось вибухає, то тут, то там на горизонті здіймається дим.
Але це не кіно. Це реальність. Реальність людей, які менше року тому
з цього моменту просто жили своїм життям, мріяли, будували плани.
Зупиніться і подумайте про одного з 73 000 людей, які жили в Бахмуті до 24 лютого
2022 року, а також в інших містах України і зараз залишилися без даху над головою. Про
тих, хто втратив усе, що мав, або навіть когось дорогого. Про тих, хто втратив життя.
Про реальність тих, хто ризикує життям, захищаючи нашу країну від росіян там,
під Бахмутом, літаючи на вертольотах чи їдучи на пікапі там, у саме пекло, де все
горить і вибухає...
