You're reading: Cosmic modern art arrives

The concept of space, seemingly a prerogative of scientists, has occupied the minds of artists as well.

The exhibition Kosmichna Odisseya, or Cosmic Odyssey, is an examination by more than 130 Ukrainian and foreign artists of the notion of space through human creativity.

The exhibition blends science and art both conceptually and physically – expect to see real rocket parts and equipment alongside paintings, sculptures and video installations.

Artists, including Pole Pawel Althamer, British duo Semiconductor and others, also show the ugly side of the space exploration – one of the exhibits is a video of litter from spaceships floating around the earth.

Until Thursday, Apr. 28, Mystetsky Arsenal, 12 Lavrska St. Opening hours: 11 a.m.- 8 p.m. Tickets: Hr 20-40.
