On 25 January 2024, the updated exposition of the exhibition project “Assembly Scheme” was opened at the M17 Contemporary Art Center. The new “season” of the project is centred on the installation Transitions by Nikita Vlasov.
The exhibition is organised by the M17 CAC, Nahirna 22 NGO and Art Support Fund.
The exhibition project encompasses a permanent exposition within the stated project period, and a temporary section, as well as a series of concurrent art events.

The Assembly Scheme project focuses on the phenomenon of the Kyiv Institute of Automation. The exhibition brings together 60 artists representing a self-organised community of artists, which is a living organism that develops and transforms, triggering new ideas and reflections of the artists.
The art hub emerged spontaneously in the building of the Kyiv Institute of Automation, located at 22 Nahirna Street. Over 120 artists rented workshops within the art space of the Institute of Automation (Instytut Avtomatyky). The activity of the art hub was aimed at finding forms and means of artistic expression, developing the local art community, creative initiatives and interaction with the space of the Kyiv Institute of Automation.
Over the years, the art space provided an environment for the constant exchange of experience between artists. Self-organised shows in the participants’ workshops were formed into the “Open Workshop Day”. The first artists joined the space back in 2016, but the community actually declared itself on 19 October 2019, when the first Open Workshop Day was launched. The pandemic has significantly affected the activities of the community. With the onset of the full-scale invasion, many artists were relocated. Instead, a residency for artists from Germany was created on the territory of the Institute. All this is an evidence of the transformation of the community, which has transcended the boundaries of a purely local phenomenon.
The exhibition on the ground floor of M17 will feature artworks by the following artists:
Svitlana Ahranovska, Yura Bolsa, Nikita Vlasov, Andriy Pidlisnyi, Oleksandr Bohomaz, Maksym Mazur, Sabina Magnitofon, Molly Route, Sana Shakhmuradova, Oleksandr Morhatskyi, Natalia Kolesnyk, Maria Vlas, Oleksandr Meleshko, Yulia Boychuk, Roman Pedan, Olha Zaremba, Maria Drobot, Vladyslav Riaboshtan, Nazar Ivaniuk, Kristina Zakharchuk, Alyona Shtepurka, Lida Moroz, Leonid Kholodnytskyi, Zakhar Shevchuk, Ihor Seliemieniev, Lisnyak Zhenya, Anya Naduda, Halya Andrusenko, Dziuba Radyslav, Yehor Antsyhin, Anya Luhovska, Yulia Petrova, Vitaliy Kokhan, Olena Pronkina, Halyna Abramova, Marta Nyrkova, Polina Shcherbyna, Andriy Davydenko, Masha Leonova, Elis, Yura Pikul, Anton Sayenko, Serhii Kondratiuk, Natalia Kurnosova, Yuliia Kyrychenko, Liza Zhdanova, Mykyta Hladkykh, Lana Kyryliuk, Maria Matiienko, Tania Kornieieva, Olya Moskovchenko, Andriy Naboka, Ruslan Ivashchenko, Vlad Filonenko, Dmytro Tarasenko, Ellina Іva, Anna Mirbach, Zhenya Lisnyak, Sasha Mazurok.
