On March 18 at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum will host the FINISSAGE of the art project “The Other Nearby: Art That Brings Together.”

18 березня о 17:00 в Музеї Корсаків відбудеться ФІНІСАЖ арт-проєкту «Інший поруч: мистецтво, яке обєднує»

Ми запрошуємо на фінісаж, який пройде у форматі відкритого публічного діалогу – як підсумок великої спільної роботи міста, культурних інституцій, митців, медіаторів та громади.

Проєкт об’єднав шість культурних локацій Луцька, понад 200 митців та кілька тисяч відвідувачів. Але найважливіше – він об’єднав людей навколо складної та важливої теми співіснування, емпатії та відповідальності за Іншого.

У програмі фінісажу:
• розмова про ідею створення та концепцію проєкту «Інший поруч»;
• історія проєкту: від опен-колу до мультипростірної виставки;
• нова модель співпраці культурних інституцій та фідбек від керівників шести локацій;
• розмова про підтримку та партнерство, що об’єднало місто;
• презентація каталогу «Інший поруч»: концепція, структура, значення як архіву проєкту.

Наприкінці події відбудеться заключна екскурсія виставкою «Інший поруч» (3-й поверх) для тих, хто ще не встиг її побачити чи хоче прожити цей досвід ще раз.

Запрошуємо всіх, хто був частиною цієї історії – митців, партнерів, медіаторів, друзів музею та глядачів.
Вхід ВІЛЬНИЙ!
Завершимо проект разом

February 21 at 3:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will open the exhibition

“THE ROAD TO EMMAUS. 15 YEARS OF ICONART”

Iconart brings together more than 60 artists, around 200 exhibition projects in Ukraine and abroad, and 15 years of dedicated work with contemporary sacred art.

This exhibition is both a retrospective and a living reflection on the journey—from the first steps to today’s phenomenon of the Ukrainian icon.

Images from different years, styles, and visual languages—from traditional to deeply personal—form a conversation about faith and doubt, suffering and love, loss and hope.

It is a road that cannot be traveled quickly. But it is worth taking.

February 6–7 PERFORMATIVE WEEKEND “The Other Nearby: Beyond Beauty” at Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art!

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)

▪️ Screening of the documentary film about the first performative weekend at Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art — “OUT OF FRAME”Svitlana Fedoniuk

February 7 (Saturday), 13:00–20:00

▪️ Curatorial tour of The Other Nearby project with performative interventions:

• Performance “A Queue to Eternity”Oleksandr Nykytiuk (Vinnytsia)

• Performance “Memory and Memorialization”Zirka Savka (Lviv)

▪️ A series of performances in the museum galleries:

“I Tame an Animal. The Animal Allows Me to Be Near.”Halyna Dudar (Lviv)

“Self-Disappearance”Kateryna Bondarenko (Kyiv)

“Untitled Performance”Andrii Helytovych (Lviv)

“The Wolf’s Cell”Svitlana Fedoniuk (Lutsk)

Admission to the two-day Performative Weekend events is by a single ticket valid for all locations of The Other Nearby project — 350 UAH.

Opening of French artist Caroline Dahyot’s project at the Korsak Museum on January 9, 2026, at 5 p.m. (as part of the multi-space project “The Other Nearby”)

The opening of the exhibition “People-Cats” by French artist Caroline Dahyot will take place as part of the multi-space project “The Other Next Door” at the Korsaks Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art.

Caroline Dahyot is a French artist who works with textiles, installations, and objects.

Her works have been exhibited in France, Belgium, Canada, and the United States, including at the Outsider Art Fair in New York and the Art et Marges Museum in Brussels, and are included in museum and public collections.

In the project “People-Cats,” the artist addresses events in Ukraine and Lebanon, reflecting on the tragedies of the modern world as a shared experience. Through images of human-animals, she speaks of empathy, vulnerability, and responsibility that unite all living beings. The phrase “it could have been us” becomes the key to understanding the exhibition.

A separate part of the exhibition is a duet created in collaboration with ceramicist Nadia La Ganza — an artistic correspondence between a Ukrainian and a French artist that transforms art into a space for dialogue and mutual support.

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.

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.

On November 30 at 4:00 PM, at the Korsaks’ Museum (3rd floor), as part of Viacheslav Hutyria’s project “Mandry” (“Journeys”), there will be an art soirée with the artist!

On November 21 at 17:00, the Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will open an exhibition by Latvian artist Ieva Cāruka titled “Forms.” The event is organized in partnership with and supported by the Embassy of Latvia in Ukraine.

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!

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!
