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)

• “Self-Disappearance” — Kateryna Bondarenko (Kyiv)

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.
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.
“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 of Contemporary Ukrainian Art (3rd floor), as part of Viacheslav Hutyria’s project “Mandry” (“Journeys”), there will be an art soirée with the artist!
The artist invites you to join him on a journey through the Great Steppe, across the memory of generations and the cultural crossroads of Europe and Asia.
Admission is free!
You are welcome to join us!

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!
