Many other cultures have experienced this interrelation within the period of provinciality. The art research of 90s is dealing with the quest of identity. The Ukraine is seen as a province in a square. If we do not participate in this new Renaissance with our unique voice into culture, we will not break the blockade of this out of history dream. So we shall be the country of the lost dreams.
Art historians reject the political art in the west as a failure.
But the contemporary art in the east dealing with political and social issues is still supported by the western art institutions cultivating the image of the Other. It seems to be destined to failure in the future as a mode to protect the west art market. During the 90es a generation of artists were formed with a certain believe that the art with the strong critical edge is the only worthy of attention. You can see that the more important international projects of the Big Art refer to the political issue. A nation could be considered as a culturally conscious only when the reflex of the changing reality of the history lights the integral and dynamic culture.
