An art exhibition “In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900-1930s” is on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid, Spain. The exhibition can also be visited through a virtual tour.

This was reported by Deputy Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Anastasia Bondar.

According to the Deputy Minister, one of the most important tasks for culture is to open national art to the whole world, and nowadays it is also about dispelling myths about the historical context and identity of Ukrainian art.

“Exhibitions like ‘In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900-1930s’, which is currently ongoing at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid, aim to show our art, unknown to the West, which embodies the difficult path of self-determination of Ukrainians, and on the other hand, prove the belonging and synchronization of Ukrainian art with the European context of those times,” the Deputy Minister emphasized.

She also noted that planning of expositions and exhibitions in museums of this kind takes several years in advance, so Ukraine greatly appreciates efforts of partners who find the opportunity to integrate Ukrainian art into the busy museum calendar to promote and open it to the world.

“A huge group of people works on implementation of such projects – curators, museum workers, embassy staff, and volunteers. You all do a great job of promoting Ukrainian culture and bring our victory closer. The exhibition can also be visited through a virtual tour, and thanks to its curator, Katia Denysova, and her playlist on Spotify, you have an opportunity to add modern Ukrainian sound,” summed up Anastasia Bondar.
