Near the Trough, Imagine point
Can art express social commentary on critical aspects of social reality? Can it be a prism through which artists demonstrate a civic position? Can creativity package personal experience into an image that the collective consciousness responds to? It has.

On August 3, 2023, at 6:00 p.m., the Kyiv modern art gallery Imagine Point will host the new project "Near the Trough" opening. Its participants - Viktor Deysun and Vasyl Zmiyevets - will present art objects and photographs created over the past few years, which refer to the social phenomenon of corruption in the structure of the political network.

Each era leaves a particular imprint on creativity, and art reflects this time interval in resonant images. It is a tool of propaganda or an element of public resistance. Updating the issues of corruption and political games at the "trough of power", such projects are agents of change, provoking their discussion.

The exhibition "Near the Trough" is an attempt through the artistic component to emphasize political aspects in the Ukrainian historical and contemporary discourse and to undermine well-known facts that are "usually not talked about".
