On September 12, an updated exhibition was opened on the occasion of the first anniversary of the PARK3020 sculptural space.
3020 –– a symbolic date of creation of the park and at the same time ambition of development for years. Currently, PARK3020 exhibits include works by Nazar Bilyk, Anna Zvyagintseva, Oleksiy Zolotarev, Anton Logov, Anna Naduda, Bohdan Tomashevsky and other Ukrainian artists. International cultural exchange is also an important component of the park’s work.
During the first year of operation in PARK3020 more than a thousand excursions were conducted and 15 new sculptural projects were installed. Its total area is over 16 hectares.
«In just one year, PARK3020 has become an important station for Ukrainian artists on the path to building a career in the field of art in public space. This is not just a landscape in which sculptures are located. This is a springboard of opportunities for Ukrainian artists. It is here that the boldest and most large-scale author’s ideas can be realized».
Katya Taylor, project curator
On September 12, the updated exhibition PARK3020 opened for visitors. Among the new exhibits are the works of participants of the first Ukrainian sculpture festival Kyiv Sculpture Project, which took place at the Kyiv Botanical Garden in 2012. These are sculptures by Zhanna Kadyrova, Stepan Ryabchenko and the Ukrainian-Israeli group GREVIS.
A new space PARK3020 with a collection of works by sculptor Alexander Sukholit was opened. In them, the archaic nature of bronze is combined with the monumentality of stone, and the sculptor appears as a philosopher who spiritualizes matter, giving it new meanings through his own perception.
Also on display were works of art glass created by Professor, Academician of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine Andriy Bokotei specifically for the park, and works by French-Slovak artist Jan Zorichak, who also works with glass and creates sculptures using optical illusions.
«The open-air sculpture park PARK3020 is a message to descendants for millennia. This is a long-term project for the development of the artistic community, the formation of a competitive Ukrainian culture. If there is no art in Ukraine, there will be no Ukraine. Because art is a soul. Only a person with a soul can restore, can rebuild, can create modernity.
The PARK3020 project should preserve and develop the cultural heritage of our country. In the future, we plan to invite foreign painters here to popularize Ukrainian contemporary art in the international cultural arena».
Igor Krivetsky,
visionary and chairman of the supervisory board PARK3020, patron
