The PinchukArtCentre presents “Fear and Hope” - a group exhibition of three Ukrainian artists: Nikita Kadan, Zhanna Kadyrova and Artem Volokitin, the Main Prize Winners of the PinchukArtCentre Prize since 2009.
With this show artists respond to the new sociopolitical context of Ukraine formed by recent events in the country and ongoing crisis. With protests turning violent, being an artist inside the protests somehow lost its place. Between 18 and 20 February, more than 100 protesters were shot dead in the streets. It was the tragic highlight in more than three months of on-going peaceful protests. In the rush of events, the space to reflect artistically disappeared and was exchanged for direct action.
