The ""Eternal Revolutionary"" exhibition features works by young Ukrainian artists who began their artistic career in the era of independent Ukraine. The name of the exhibition refers to an iconic poem ""Hymn"" by the Ukrainian poet Ivan Franko, written in 1880 and which became the anthem of the Ukrainian people's struggle for its Freedom. In it, the author characterized the ""eternal revolutionary"" as a person relying on wit, science, thought and will - after all, it is not only with these qualities can one pass from revolution to evolution. Each of the artists presented in the exhibition works on the context of their own protest, explores its nature and forms, and also wonders about the place of art Ukrainian contemporary on the world art scene. For many, Ukrainian art contemporary remains still terra incognita, while the political and social crises of recent years have given rise to an ambitious new artistic environment and unique. Exploring the durability of protest and revolution, the artists turn to their different forms: from everyday queerness in the works of Kateryna Lisovenko and Yana Bachynska to questions about understanding the body of the city at through street art and archaeological discoveries in the works of Roman Mikhailov and APL315. Alexander Sovtysik's graffiti practice, which uses carpets as material, as one of the symbols of Soviet life and a visual protest against post-Soviet academicism in the works of Diana Faksh. Sterility, opposition to chaos and deliberateness of the visual forms of Western Ukrainian art in the works of Dima Mykytenko. All these artists of the new generation, in their works, under a form or another, raised the question of the importance of the revolutionary gesture and protester in art.
