On 12 December 2025 at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will host the opening of the multi-venue project “Інший поруч” (“The Other Nearby”).

The project will run from 12 December to 20 February.

“Інший поруч” will encompass six locations in Lutsk:

• Korsaks’ Museum

• Lutsk Art Museum

• Volyn Regional Museum of Local History

• Okolnyi Castle

• Art space “Dim na Halshky” (“House on Halshka”)

• Industrial space “Budynok Ofitseriv” (“Officers’ House”).

The “Інший поруч” project began on 15 June 2025 with an Open Call for artists from all over the world. As a result, we selected over 200 artists who created contemporary interpretations of the coexistence of humans and animals — as two equal beings, capable of presence, connection, and respect.

The project will be accompanied by a rich parallel programme.

This event will open a new artistic route in the city and invite visitors to take a broader look at reciprocity, presence, and co-being with the “Other”.

The museum is pet friendly, so we will be happy to welcome visitors together with your beloved animal companions

The project is supported by the Lutsk City Council.

Ieva Cāruka works with painting, textiles, and ceramics, combining modernist forms, expressive lines, and bold colors. At the center of her new works is the woman as a bearer of strength, memory, and the genetic code of a nation.

The exhibition features large-format mixed-media works, a series of ceramic “Vases” and “Kalevala” miniatures, as well as selected pieces from the 1980s–1990s that reflect the artist’s early development.

It is a conversation about corporeality, love, inner light, and the resilience of the woman who holds the world.

Admission is free. You are welcome to join!

Address: Lutsk, 1 Korsaka Ivana St.

Opening hours:

Mon–Fri: 12:00–20:00

On October 31 at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Ukrainian Contemporary Art will host the opening of the exhibition project @ms.chestnut.art MS. CHESTNUT “Fragile Safety” as part of the youth art platform “ENTER.” 

This artistic project, created in the style of stained glass, is a profound and moving story about the heroic work of soldiers and volunteers in the combat zone who rescue animals. Against the backdrop of a blue sky, each painting serves as a unique window into these stories — filled with symbolism and emotion.

The choice of the stained glass style highlights the idea of light and hope penetrating the darkness of war, where every piece becomes a reflection of the inner struggle and the triumph of good. These stained glass works open worlds of compassion and humanity to the viewer, reminding us that even in the darkest times, there is always room for love, friendship, safety, and care.

Viktoriia Kalashnyk (Donetsk–Kyiv) and the museum team invite you to the event!

October 10 at 5:00 PM at the Korsaks’ Museum of Ukrainian Contemporary Art will be the opening of the exhibition by Stas Zhalobniuk @zhalobniuk — “Here is Ukraine: The Black Sea” 

Curator — Myroslav Otkovych @myroslav_otkovych.

“Conventional wars, where victory was determined solely on the battlefield, are left in the past.

In the 21st century, the front line runs through the consciousness of every Ukrainian.

National narratives — like the tape soldiers wrap around their hands or helmets — help define: who is the enemy, and who is a friend.

The project ‘Here is Ukraine: The Black Sea’ is our response to the modern challenges of the war of narratives. We encourage you to test the clarity of our optics and improve the methodology of target identification.

We are all soldiers in this war. Or — its victims. The choice is yours.”

Admission is free.

You are warmly invited!

On September 5, at 17:00, the Korsaks Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will host the opening of Marian Oleksiak’s exhibition «Equilibrium» / retrospection ◻️

«Trying not to depict the objectively existing reality, but based on my own artistic language, entering into co-creation with this reality, with its subject world, I create a subjective reality. The process of work itself is a spontaneous action of random accidents. I am engaged in organizing this action, finding a balance.»

Entrance to the event is free ❤️
We invite you!

On August 1, 2025, at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Modern Ukrainian Art will host the opening of the project “Place of Existence” by artist and curator Dmytro Erlikh and sound engineer and sound artist Illya Petrov.

The project “Place of Existence” is an attempt to capture the moment before a leap, before making a decision, before a change.

The installation is built as an environment between cliffs — both physical and metaphorical — creating a space of choice. It is a place where intuition meets doubt, spontaneity meets decision.

You are welcome to join us!

We will be glad to see you at the opening, to share a moment of silence before movement, a space before choice, a thought before the leap.

On June 27, at 17:00, the Korsaks’ Museum will open an exhibition by Dmytro Velychko „At the Intersection of Time and Space“.

Dmytro Velychko is an Odesa-based artist known for his abstract compositions that explore the relationship between time and space.

Entrance to the event is free.

“Liubist” is a rarely used Ukrainian word that means the same as “love.” The same — yet not quite. Liubist carries an additional dimension — an all-encompassing sincerity, authenticity, and dramaturgy that Pavlo Mazai always seeks.

Dramaturgy and authenticity are his favorite words, and this very liubist culminates in a kind of self-portraited infinity — Mazai as a demiurge, once again creating heaven and earth, channeling this entire mad Universe through himself.

In his works, he is always alone, surrounded, in the epicenter of the elements. He is both egg and grain, fire and water, root and plowed soil, and a scythe striking stone.

It takes not only an insatiable artistic thirst but a certain creative audacity to close this eternal cycle of creation upon oneself.

And thirst is something Pavlo has plenty of. He still has no idea what “creative crisis” means — exhaustion and burnout, the usual woes of an artist’s unique life, somehow pass him by. Or maybe it’s he who bypasses them.

Moreover, Mazai says that right now he feels “a very powerful surge of creativity. I’ve never experienced such a strong creative rise as during the war.”

Life, despite everything, inspires him every day. He’s always in motion, always searching, always working — and always outside the city. Because in the city, there are walls. And walls don’t inspire. In the city, he prints his works and holds exhibitions.

Mazai works in series — some are born from things that suddenly catch his eye and instantly spark a concept, a theme, an idea. Others take longer to unfold, until all the pieces fall into place. Meticulousness and spontaneity are his signature.

In fact, Pavlo values photography because “it is silent,” because “it needs no words. It speaks differently and reaches everyone in their own way.”

This exhibition is a kind of extract from various cycles: Myron’s Land, The House Where I Am Not, Ovum, Metrica.

The most important. The most essential. The most sincere. The most authentic.

Liubist.
