PinchukArtCentre - more than just museum
The PinchukArtCentre is located in the Kyiv’s historic architectural complex of the Besarabka quarter that underwent a major renovation in the beginning of the 21st century.
Both architectural and interior design for the art centre was developed by a French architect, Philippe Chiambaretta. The PinchukArtCentre occupies six floors, with exhibition spaces on four floors, a video-lounge and a café on the top floor.
The total area of the exhibition centre adds up to over 4000 sq. metres.
From the opening day on 16 September 2006, the art centre has become a favourite spot for the young Ukrainians, city-dwellers and numerous international visitors to Ukraine’s capital. With visitor friendly viewing hours (12.00 to 21.00) and free-of-charge entrance, the Centre provides an outstanding opportunity to become immersed in the very best contemporary art possible. With the PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv has thus become a new destination point for global contemporary art.
To the date, the PinchukArtCentre has presented nine major exhibitions:
• «New Space», an opening exhibition by the various international and Ukrainian artists;
• «Generations.UsA», a group show with twenty young Ukrainian and American artists;• «Vik Muniz: A Survey», an exhibition by the well-known Brazilian artist Vik Muniz;
• «An Instinctive Eye», a selection of contemporary photography from the Sir Elton John Collection;
• «REFLECTION», a recent acquisitions exhibition including artists such as: Serhiy Bratkov, Antony Gormley, Andreas Gursky, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami;
• «Mariko Mori: Oneness», a large scale exhibition by the Japanese artist, Mariko Mori;
• «Paul McCartney — Paintings», a survey exhibition of paintings by Sir Paul McCartney;
• «Rhine on The Dnipro: Julia Stoschek Collection / Andreas Gursky», a thematic video art exhibition with seventeen international artists and major one-person photography exhibition.
• Exhibition of the British artist Sam Taylor-Wood and “21 RUSSIA”, a group showcase of contemporary Russian artists.
•
The key mission of the PinchukArtCentre is to modernise the Ukrainian artistic scene and to promote the development of a new generation of Ukrainian artists. The Centre presents a variety of exhibitions by leading international and Ukrainian artists.
The PinchukArtCentre is pleased to present a new project – an exhibition of 20 shortlisted nominees for the PinchukArtCentre Prize. The exhibition will open on 31 October until 20 December.
