A permanent revolution. Ukrainian art now

Exhibition April 6 − June 24, 2018
Exhibition of modern Ukrainian art "Permanent revolution" ("Permanent revolution") at the Budapest Ludwig Museum combines works by 37 artists and art groups. "This is perhaps the first major European Museum presentation of art from three generations of Ukrainian artists, actively present in the Ukrainian art scene," said one of the exhibition curators Alisa Lozhkina.

In the exhibition one can see works of different generations artists, from Boris Mikhailov, Arsen Savadov, Nikolai Matsenko and Alexander Roitburd to APL315, David Chichkan, Igor Petrov and Stepan Ryabchenko. The works cover the period from 1968 to 2018. Such presentation is also important because no single Museum or a private collector in Ukraine now owns a representative collection of works by contemporary artists. After Ukraine gained independence the procurement of works in museums ceased, the Museum of contemporary art in Ukraine and even in the National art Museum of Ukraine formed the gap volume in three decades.

Work in the exhibition is not divided according to artistic or thematic principles, but rather, United in emotional knots. And, of course, many of them about the Ukrainian revolution and the war.
