February 6–7

PERFORMATIVE WEEKEND “The Other Nearby: Beyond Beauty” at Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art!

The Performative Weekend is one of the key events of The Other Nearby project, unfolding its concept through live action, bodily presence, sound, and interaction with space and the viewer. Over two days, the museum will transform into an open stage where performance becomes a way to explore empathy, vulnerability, the tension between beauty, and the coexistence of humans and the “Other” — animal, body, voice, experience.

Performative interventions are integrated directly into the exhibition space of The Other Nearby, activating artworks, routes, and the viewer’s perception. The visitor does not merely observe, but becomes a participant in a process where art happens here and now.

Program:

February 6 (Friday), 17:00–20:00

▪️ Lecture-performance “Human and Bird” with elements of audience participation — Vlodko Kaufman (Lviv)

▪️ Performance “Fluidity of Action” using a sound environment — Yaryna Shumska (Lviv)

A great opportunity to spend the weekend together — immersed in art, dialogue, and shared experience.

Guided Tour at the Officers’ House

This Sunday, January 25 at 3:00 PM, we invite you to a curator-led tour of the project “The Other Nearby” at the Officers’ House.

This is a chance to step back into a space that many residents of Lutsk haven’t visited for years and to see it anew — filled with contemporary art, meanings, and a dialogue about human–animal coexistence.

The Officers’ House is one of the key locations of the multi-space project “The Other Nearby”,

where art speaks about responsibility, empathy, power, closeness, and choice.

Tour starts at: 3:00 PM

Officers’ House, Lutsk, 8 Vynnychenka St.

Tour admission is included with a single-location entry ticket or with a combined ticket granting access to all 6 project spaces.

Individual curator-led tours are also available:

for groups of 1 to 30 people, on any day and at a time convenient for you.

Fee: 900 UAH.

We invite you to spend your Sunday thoughtfully — in a space newly reopened, and in conversation about those who are nearby.

See you soon.
