The massive art project continues. Its participants are to create 2100 paintings on the patches from Euromaidan and Anti-Maidan tents. Later a group of professional artists will use these amateur paintings to create conceptual art objects, as well as visualize them into the map of Ukraine.
Participants of protests in Kyiv will be offered to visualize their innermost dreams on the patches from Euromaidan and Anti-Maidan tents. At the second stage of the project a group of professional artists and web-designers will be invited to create conceptual art objects based on protesters’ amateur paintings, as well as installations and electronic map of Ukraine, made of 2100 patches.
«All the participants of protests in Kyiv — no matter on which side of the barricades they stood — have one thing in common: they dream of happiness, peace and love. Our project is the reflection on the ruining power of protest, on creation, on things that part us and things we agree on. And the first authors of the paintings on canvas will be medics — people, to whom all are alike, to whom political views of the patients are insignificant. Artists will use white paint — it symbolizes pure thoughts, beginning of a new and important stage in life of our heroes», — says art-curator of the project, art historian Evgeniya Smirnova.
The work on the project will last for half a year; more than 2.5 thousand amateur and professional artists, designers and programmers will participate in it. Results of the project are to be presented in autumn at big art forums in Ukraine and abroad.
