The Media-comfort installation by the Institution of Unstable Thoughts group from Stella Art Foundation collection is shown in the "If" ("ßêøî/Åñëè/If") project opened in Perm at the Museum of contemporary art.
The main idea of this project curated by Ekaterina Degot is to feature Ukrainian art after the Orange Revolution reflecting the situation in the whole country, a productively “unstable” environment full of contradictions, promises, hopes and disenchantment, bursts of protest and creative energy.
The exhibition features art that reflects the distinctive contours of Ukrainian life after the Orange Revolution - an unstable but productive ferment, full of contradictions, promises from politicians, hope for a new post-Communist footing, and disenchantment with neoliberalism. Ukrainian art of that period is one facet of an outpouring of revolutionary and creative energy.
The exhibition is open through July 10, 2010.
Address: PERMM Museum of contemporary art, Perm, Ulitsa Ordzhonikidze, 2, http://permm.ru
