«Remember Yesterday»
Group exhibition by Ukrainian artists

The PinchukArtCentre presents "Remember Yesterday", a group exhibition of Ukrainian artists. This exhibition is the first in a new series of shows that draw from the PinchukArtCentre's Ukrainian art collection. They will combine works from the collection, which has a main focus on the 90ties and early 2000, with new productions and or loans of recent work.

Remember Yesterday tells about the events that have impacted the development of Ukraine's history and its society: from the Holodomor, through Perestroika, the 1990s, the Orange Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity, up until now.

By engaging different generations of Ukrainian artists in dialogue, the exhibition shows how artists reflected on historic processes and how their works find their new relevance through the flow of time in a different historic moment. This dialogue is between works of artists who started their practice after 2004 – Julia Beliaeva, Sasha Kurmaz, Roman Khimey and Yarema Malashchuk, Anna Zviagintseva, Lesia Khomenko – and works from the PinchukArtCentre collection, created between the late 1980s and 2004: Sergey Bratkov, Oleg Holosiy, Pavlo Makov, Oleksandr Roytburd, Oleg Tistol, Vasyl Tsagolov.

The exhibition is composed of two chapters, located on 2 and 3 floors of the art centre. The first chapter focuses the viewer on emotional sensations and psychological portraits of the society. Meanwhile, the second chapter is dedicated to the shift of the view on the past, as well as our idea of the past.

Curator: Björn Geldhof, artistic director of the PinchukArtCentre. Assistant curator: Ksenia Malykh, Manager of the Research Platform of the PinchukArtCentre. Exposition architecture and design: Dana Kosmina.
