Join us for an afternoon of special tours and talks given by the curators of the newly opened exhibitions Alexandra Exter: The Stage Is a World and Volia: Ukrainian Modernism, and the creator of the new sculpture UKR|RUS.
The Ukrainian Museum is excited to present a landmark exhibition celebrating the work of artist Alexandra Exter. Dubbed the “avant-garde Amazon,” Exter was a fixture in European artistic circles during the early twentieth century, traversing Kyiv, Odesa, Paris, and Venice. The exhibition, Alexandra Exter: The Stage Is a World, opens 27 September 2024 and runs through 19 January 2025. The first solo showcase of her work in North America, it offers a comprehensive exploration of Exter’s pioneering career from 1913 to 1934. Featuring 35 paintings and works on paper, the exhibition highlights her early abstractions and avant-garde theater contributions. A collaboration with Ukrainian and U.S. museums, as well as international private collectors, the exhibition delves into Exter’s influential contributions to theater and cinema, presenting both rare and iconic pieces beloved by art lovers around the world. The exhibition Volia: Ukrainian Modernism furthers the Ukrainian Museum’s decolonization efforts and positions prominent artists of the early twentieth century in the Ukrainian spotlight. Alexander Archipenko, David Burliuk, Alexander Bohomazov, Maria Syniakova, Vasyl Yermylov, Alexis Gritchenko, and others will be presented in the context of Ukrainian art and culture’s development, innovations, and traditions, which for decades were suppressed and appropriated by Russian imperialism. Volia in Ukrainian translates to freedom and also denotes willpower and a longing for freedom. This concept encapsulated the avant-garde movements in Ukraine, which are breaking free from Russian narratives and falsehoods more than ever before. UKR|RUS, a new sculptural work by artist and activist Molly Gochman, invites us to question the devastating human cost and destruction caused by aggressive imperialism, and to celebrate the resilience of Ukrainians, their rich cultural history, and the future that so many are fighting to defend. Taking the shape of the Ukraine-Russian border as it is defined by Ukraine and recognized by international law, the work draws parallels between physical and metaphorical boundaries, explores the complex dynamics that exist around borders, and provides a space to center and reflect upon the ongoing struggle of Ukraine and its people. UKR|RUS underscores that borders are more than mere cartographic lines; they are tangible divisions that shape communities and lives.

We were there the day that the tree arrived! Many people crowded around to watch the unveiling. The ice skating ring was also opened to the public.

Classic songs, the performance is so camouflaged, the band and the dancers are seamless, and the charm of Broadway musicals is infinite. You must experience it when you go to New York. The stage is not big, and the seats are basically not too bad, and you can see the wonderful moments of the dancers.

Ctrip&#39;s service is very good. It is worth watching, the view is very wide, and the photos are more photogenic. There is no diagonal under the 24-meter cantilever, and the 2.7-meter glass is strongly inclined at 6.6 degrees. The building is of high quality. Buying tickets through Ctrip is more cost-effective than buying tickets on site. Highly recommended.
