UKRAINIAN INSTITUTE OF MODERN ART

An anonymous reader suggested that people check out the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art web site. They currently have a special exhibit titled Artist Respond: Ukrainian Art and the Orange Revolution, but hurry, it ends Feb. 28, 2006. From a UIAM press release:

• We are pleased to announce that The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (UIMA) has joined together with the Center for Contemporary Art in Kiev to bring this exhibition of revolutionary art to Chicago. In December 2005, UIMA will present "Artists Respond: Ukrainian Art and The Orange Revolution" - the first exhibition of Ukrainian Revolutionary art shown in North America.

UIAM looks like another Chicago gem. This reminds me that while I was in Kyiv this past summer, some students set up some of their Orange Rev art on Miadan. I'll do some edits soon and post a photo or two.
