Visual art exhibitions and events with a platform for critical writing
By: Olha Pryymak
My current project involves recording the definitive of Soviet lifestyle, aesthetics and its transition into Western culture through little vignettes of color and composition. Here's my prior blog posts on the subject: http://olechko.org/post-Soviet
I was raised in post-soviet Ukraine during the times of crisis, where for most people poverty was an everyday reality. Those experiences gave me a sense of practical duty, to pursue a business degree and a career in finance and economics. For several years I worked in interesting roles in Washington DC, and at the World Bank. Recently I found myself at a point in terms of my life and my relationships, that I could return to art as a full-time vocation.
