“Dream Museum” art project
Kyiv, Ukraine
2011 - present
museum of intangible values
visual exhibitions, performances, theatre, music, new-media, sound, workshops, lectures,
cinema-club, conferences, artist talks, book presentations, literature evenings, readings, informal
education (contemporary art, art history, photography, psychoanalysis, science, linguistics,
cinema, philosophy, animation etc.).
“Go(o)d Artist” art and research project
experimental and socially engaged art project
2016 - present
The idea of this project is to explore and demonstrate how we decide that the artist's career is
successful and he/she is really a good artist, and that the value of his/her works is not overpriced.
We don't have any common rules, any unified aesthetics in contemporary art. For example,
artists can be without any specific education.
But we still do have brands like:
Artist's name, Museum name, Gallery name, Dealer’s name, Auction House name.
And we use them to present ourselves in our CVs to make an impression and to form the opinion
about the artist shortly.

“Tell me Your Dream” art and research project
video interview, video-art
Kyiv, Ukraine
2009 — 2011
The series of short films is the introduction to the idea of Dream Museum.
Interviews mixed with video art exploring the attitude to the phenomenon of
dreaming. The way we think and talk about our dreams. How we interpret them. What we know
about ourselves while dreaming?
