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

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.

Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art

1 Ivana Korsaka St., Lutsk

Free admission!

On April 24 at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will host the opening of Kost Borysiuk’s project “Royal Hunt.”

Violence of one person against another, of one state against another, is not accidental — it is a process.

With the development of humanity, it has only become more refined and more brutal.

Today, we are witnessing its most radical form — royal hunt.

A space where crude, wild force erases depth and spirituality.

Where violence is inflicted not only on the body, but on one’s very essence.

This exhibition is about the pressure from which resistance is born.

About boundaries that constrain, yet at the same time set free.

Free admission to the opening

The project will run until May 25, 2026

Curator: Andrii Rusanovych

Lutsk, 1 Ivana Korsaka St.

Lecture by Olha Konovalova: “Journey to Kyiv Island: Meeting the Artists of the ‘Squat on Olehivska’” April 17 (Friday) 5:00 PM Free admission

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!

April 3 at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will open the exhibition project “Kyiv Island.”

The exhibition is dedicated to the phenomenon of the “Squat on Olehivska” — a unique association of artists that emerged in the early 1990s and became an important part of the New Ukrainian Wave.

This exhibition is about an environment that became a territory of freedom. About artists who managed to preserve painting as a space of strength, play, paradox, and inner independence. About art that outlived time and silence, and returned with new energy.

The exhibition features works by:
Anatolii Varvarov, Volodymyr Yershikhin, Ihor Konovalov, Serhii Korniievskyi, Ruslan Kutniak, Ed Potapenkov, Volodymyr Padun, Liudmyla Rozdobudko-Padun, Kostiantyn Militynskyi, Volodymyr Zaichenko, Viacheslav Mashnytskyi.

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!

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.
