Current project
Contemporary history increasingly resembles a battle of the wits, with political will at the forefront. This conclusion is prompted by the war. From the very first days, it has been testing the will of all those who stand for Ukraine and democracy. Fortunately, Ukrainians have resisted and created a forceful field of public anger, which now involves tens of millions of people.
In this forceful field, freedom reveals its distinct meaning, which is not always realised in times of peace. It does not appear as a desire for unlimited power, but rather as the will to collectively resist any tyranny.
Back in the nineteenth century, Georg Hegel expressed the idea that the “World Spirit” directs the course of history towards overcoming despotism and humanity’s recognition of the value of freedom.
The upcoming project is set to take place with the support of some of Ukraine's most esteemed institutions in the art world. Specifically, the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, the Modern Art Research Institute, the M17 Contemporary Art Center, and Natalia Shpytkovska "Art Advisory" will all be contributing their expertise and resources to make this project a success.
