LVIV DIARY. IS IT CONVENIENT TO KNOW?

This conversation between the artist Vlada Ralko and the researcher Milena Khomchenko was finished on May 13, 2022. To be more precise, it happened on the 79th day of the war, following Vlada’s note on the way Ukrainians perceive the time since February 24. That day the Azovstal plant, cities of Mariupol, and Kherson were still under the occupation; Russian soldiers were continuing shelling and fights in Izium, Krasnopillia, Horlivka, Velyka Novosilka, Siverskodonetsk, Rubizhne, Vuhledar, and other cities of Ukraine while also using cluster munitions in Korabelnyi district of Mykolaiv. That day, as well as the other days, these names of the small Ukrainian peripheral towns or villages were left on the outskirts of the international communication channels. However, these events continue being the foreground of all even detached discussions of those who are attached.

Олег Димов: «Работая с цельностью, мы постепенно приходим к образу»

«В рамках персонального проекта Олега Димова, представленного в галерее, мы исследуем серии его работ, есть ли между ними связь, преемственность форм, мотивов, содержания. Правильное понимание процессов преемственности имеет особое значение для анализа закономерностей искусства, общественного развития, прогресса науки, для борьбы как с некритическим отношением к достижениям прошлого, так и с нигилистическим отрицанием культурного наследия. Преемственность — это связь между явлениями в процессе развития, когда новое, сменяя старое, сохраняет в себе некоторые его элементы. Эта последовательность отчётливо прослеживается в работах автора. Эти элементы объединяют весь период поисков художника. Упомянутая преемственность в данном случае концентрируется, замыкаясь в самонаследственности, в самопреемственности», — говорит куратор выставки Натали Симонова.
