Exhibition March 29 − June 2, 2019
The Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art Korsakov in Lutsk presents an exhibition project “Hermetic Kolo Karl Zvіrinskogo". Karl Zvirinsky - one of the main representatives of modernism in Lviv art. His "underground academy" is an unknown facet of alternative art education in the conditions of totalitarianism. The exhibition, in addition to the paintings of the teacher himself, included the early works of his students of the 1960s - Roman Petruk, Oleg Minko, Bogdan Soyka, Zinovy Flint, Andrey Bokotei, Lesia Tsegelsky and others.

The project is an integral research platform of the Museum of Modern Ukrainian Art Korsakov "Genesis", which captures the significant phenomena of Ukrainian non-classical art of the XX-XXI centuries.
