Slow Art Day at the Korsaks’ Museum!

In the rhythm of everyday hustle, sometimes we simply need to pause — and give ourselves time to be with art.

On April 29 at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will host Slow Art Day.

This is an international initiative that invites us to change the usual way we experience art: instead of viewing dozens of works in an hour, we focus on just a few — attentively, deeply, and without haste. It is in this slower rhythm that a genuine connection with art begins to emerge.

On this day, we will turn to the works of Mykola Kumановський — an artist with a distinctive, profound, and highly recognizable visual language. During a lecture by art historian Zoia Navrotska, we will slowly immerse ourselves in his works, which do not reveal themselves instantly, but require attentiveness and a willingness to enter into dialogue.

We invite you to share this experience with us — to slow down, to feel, and to understand.

Journey to the “Kyiv Island” – a lecture at Korsaks’ Museum!

As part of the art project “Kyiv Island,” dedicated to the phenomenon of the legendary “Squat on Olehivska,” we invite you to a special lecture that offers a deeper look into one of the most fascinating phenomena in Ukrainian art.

April 17 (Friday)

5:00 PM

Free admission

Lecture by Olha Konovalova:

“Journey to Kyiv Island: Meeting the Artists of the ‘Squat on Olehivska’”

This is not just a lecture — it is an attempt to feel this environment from within.

A space that was neither a museum nor a gallery, yet became one of the key centers of contemporary Ukrainian art. We will talk about experiment, freedom, and the birth of a new artistic language in independent Ukraine.

Olha Konovalova is a PhD in Art Studies (Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University), a researcher of Ukrainian culture from traditional forms to contemporary art. At the center of her research is the question of how meanings are born — in symbols, images, and artistic environments. She pays special attention to the phenomenon of the “Squat on Olehivska” as a space of freedom and co-creation.

We invite you on April 17 at 5:00 PM!
