Cartel of Curators. "Mystification"

  It is probably for a first time in Ukraine that 12 Ukrainian curators will present their projects in the single space. It was really important for me to gather on one art territory galleries that exist not like salons but realize curators’ projects, have their own art ideology, bring up and propagandize contemporary Ukrainian artists, shape a face of contemporary Ukrainian art and form Ukrainian art market. All of them are active, professional and devoted people that act on independent from the State territories.

“Cartel of Curators. Mystification” is the attempt to unite in one space creative energies and real faces of contemporary Ukrainian art.

The project is particular also because I, its initiator, have no relation to contemporary visual art. That’s a guaranty of not biasness. I don’t choose and don’t value. I’m just a moderator of the situation.

“Cartel of Curators. Mystification” is pure art not commercial project. Its goal is to cultivate trust to Ukrainian art product among contemporary Ukrainian audience raised on European culture. And also by inviting Russian and European galleries people, curators and journalists lead the presented contemporary art into the world context.

That’s a comfort that “Cartel of curators. Mystification” began to create its projects already. “Digest of Curators” where each curator will present the projects that he worked on during the year is a concentrated panorama of contemporary Ukrainian visual art. Also during the project numerous lectures on art, philosophy, management, design and other themes will take place.

This is only a beginning of education cycle, hence “GOGOL” is a presentational top, the locomotive that has to lead all the caravan of education, the caravan of contemporary Ukrainian culture and art.
