became apparent that the most pressing issues for Ukrainian contemporary art are
questions surrounding national identity and cultural attributes. Contemporary,
modernist and traditional art can be juxtaposed in many ways that reveals the
different moments in the process, development and transgression within the
history of Ukrainian art. In this respect the Ukrainian situation is comparable
to many broader developments that frame <SPAN class=yshortcuts>contemporary art
practices</SPAN> in the global art world. The most outstanding events of the
past few years that have sought to examine such creative tensions included the
<SPAN class=yshortcuts>contemporary art exposition</SPAN> <I>documenta 12</I>
(Kassel, Germany), the Jan Fabre show at the halls of classical art in Louvre
(Paris, France), the project <I>Thinking Realism</I> at the State Tretiakov
Gallery (Moscow, Russia), to name a few. All testify the fact that over the
past five years there has been an increasing tendency in the art world towards
initiating a dialogue between the contemporary and the modernist, provoked by
contemporary art's desire to question the surrounding inheritance and
self-identification.</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-GB
