On September 23rd, 2021, M17 CAC starts a new exhibition Swimming Wasn’t Allowed in the Plant’s Aquatorium under the curatorship of Zhanna Kadyrova and Maya Kolesnik
It is the first large presentation of the works by those artists who have worked on the territory of the former Odesa Shipyard SRZ-2 in recent years, turning it into a unique cultural cluster and transmedial laboratory.
In just a few years, the private complex of SRZ-2 has become a symbiosis of sculpture, painting, silk-screen and music studios, engineering workshops and an atelier. The conditions that made this organic synthesis and dialogue of arts possible are exceptional to the contemporary Ukrainian art history.
The exhibition examines the phenomenon of the emergence of the self-organized creative community, conditions and modalities of consolidation, and, in particular, the space itself as a basic condition: an abandoned ship repair plant in the historic centre of Odesa, which is threatened to be demolished today due to the coastline development projects priorities. Drawing on the experience of the SRZ-2 art cluster, the project raises issues of the precarious situation of the artist in society and the opportunities for artists to realize and develop their full potential.
The exhibition includes works by such artists as Eugenia Volno, Vasya Dmytryk, Maxim Zatsarinniy, Zhanna Kadyrova, Pavlo Klymenko, Commercialpublicart, Nataliia Kushnir, Nataliia Marynenko, MNPL, Denis Ruban, Ereh Saw, Mykyta Tyshchenko, Dariia Chechushkova, Kseniia Shcherbakova and other.
It also presents artefacts and other evidence of the plant’s past life, archival materials and documentation of its transformation.
Curators: Zhanna Kadyrova, Maya Kolesnik
The exhibition is open: from September 23rd to October 24th, 2021
Official opening: September 23rd at 7 p.m.
Opening hours: Tuesday — Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Address: M17 Contemporary Art Center, 102-104, Antonovycha St., Kyiv

(Українська) «На акваторії заводу купатися було заборонено» під кураторством Жанни Кадирової та Майї Колеснік — це перша масштабна презентація робіт художників, які протягом останніх років працювали на території колишнього Одеського судноремонтного заводу СРЗ-2, перетворивши її на унікальний культурний кластер і трансмедіальну лабораторію. За декілька років закрита територія СРЗ-2 стала симбіозом скульптурних, малярських, шовкотрафаретних та інженерних майстерень, музичної студії, а також ательє. Умови ж, що уможливили цей органічний синтез і діалог мистецтв, є винятковими для новітньої історії українського мистецтва», - ідеться в повідомленні.
