        Lexicon of Intimate Cities

        by Yurii Andrukhovych

        "Lexicon of Intimate Cities" is the biggest novel of Yuriy Andruhovych so far. A tireless traveler across Ukraine, Europe, and America, the author tells us 111 stories about 111 cities with which he was lucky enough to experience happy and not so happy, but always intimate, in the broadest sense of the word, moments.Arranged in the alphabetical order according to the geographical names of the locations, these diverse texts – from essays and short stories to prose poems together form an autobiographical atlas of the writer's world. In addition, each "lexical" adventure is clearly inscribed in time space coordinates, which allows the reader to follow the author in 111 private-historical leaps from the mid-60s of the last century to the present day.It is hardly worth expecting objective characteristics of Kyiv and Lviv, Moscow and Warsaw, New York and Yenakiyiv from this atlas, this extremely subjective "manual of geopoetics and cosmopolitics". But you can definitely find more artistically important things in it: the atmosphere, mood, images, smells and tastes of favorite cities and places, as they were imprinted in the author's memory. As well as momentary observations and deeper reflections, lyricism and sadness, irony and sarcasm - that is, everything that makes our communication with the world to resemble true intimacy.

        Radio Night

        by Yurii Andrukhovych

        Andrukhovych’s hero, rock musician Joseph Rotsky, supported the revolution in his home country by being a "barricade pianist". Forced into exile, he earns his living playing salon music. In a Swiss hotel he is forced to perform for his country’s dictator. He throws an egg at him, accidentally killing him. After his release from prison, Rotsky retreats to the Carpathian Mountains, where he is soon found by secret service agents and other sinister characters who are out to get him. His escape takes him as far as Greece – with his raven Edgar and his lover Animé as his faithful companions. He ends up on a prison island on the prime meridian, where he hosts his own radio programme: "Radio Night" – his own label that allows him to broadcast music, poetry and good stories into a darkening world. Yurii Andrukhovych’s long awaited new novel, a revolutionary saga, biographical burlesque and agent thriller set against the backdrop of the immediate present – Andrukhovych pulls out all the artistic stops to counter the fears and real threats with the sovereignty of imagination. Radio Night received great acclaim from readers and critics alike.

        Disorientation on the terrain

        by Yurii Andrukhovych

        These are attempts to look into the coexistence of cultural spaces: the metaphysics of landscapes; a man on his way; Central Europe as unity and uniqueness; the post-imperial search for identity. Three sections - "Introduction to geography", "Park of culture" and "About the time and method" - offer three different dimensions of the outlined problem - cultural, historical, and mytho-poetic and individual-existential."

        A terribly rowdy book

        Terribly funny horrors!

        by Vitalii Kyrychenko, Yurii Nikitinskyi

        «A Terribly Rowdy Book» is totally unusual. It is written to be terribly rowdy, ironic, absurd, horrible, frightful and funny at the same time. The title is made as a parody of horror, slasher and mystery stories. The authors’ inspiration comes from scary-like nursery rhymes, Absurdist humor of Daniil Kharms as well as Scary Movie. If you are afraid to smile at scary things and forgot the times when you were kids, don’t read it at all. But if you happened to have bought this title, read it either under your blanket, in the bathroom or in the blackest corner. And in no case should you give it to your kids because you are good parents and not some we-don’t-know-who.

      • Instant Time

        by Catalogue editors: Anna Pohribna, Solomia Savchuk. Texts: Piotr Armyanovski, Olena Afanasyeva, Yuliya Vaganova, Lia Dostlieva & Andrii Dostliev, Anatol Zvizhynsky, Gamlet Zinkivsky, Georgiy Kasyanov, Vlodko Kaufman, Max Kovalchuk, Rostyslav Koterlin, Yuriy Koch, Olha Pohribna-Koch, Tetyana Pavlova, Sergiy Petlyuk, Julia Polunina-But, Ihor Podolchak, Nadia Prygodych, Kateryna Tykhonenko, Krolikowski Art

        The publication is the catalogue to Instant Time exhibition. Instant time is a metaphor for Ukraine’s fundamentally new experience in the 1990s. Time sped up in the first years of independence, changes and decisions came quickly, information and phenomena spread like lightning, and disappeared equally so. The information vacuum filled spontaneously, without any filters or barriers, and absorbed everything that fell into its space. A craving for the new grew on the backdrop of the influx of ersatz, poor quality substitutes and surrogates, that, nonetheless, genuinely inspired and captivated, and sometimes provoked the emergence of unique phenomena, and not only on a local scale.        The exhibition narrative consists of stories of 9 cities and regions of Ukraine. The group of curators create a cross-section of the socio-political context of their cities, focusing on stories about places, people and phenomena, exploring their fears and dreams in these historical conditions. Memories and interpretations create a fragile fabric of reality that brings to light what people in the ‘90s felt and how they changed. Social and personal dimensions are complemented by optics of different generations of artists. The views of the participants of those cultural events stand side-by-side with the voices of those who were born in the ‘90s and are making contemporary art today. This approach allows us to construct a larger picture of the ‘90s and to expand the usual perspective with a new set of ethics — looking at a world built by adults through the eyes of children. Instead of answering the question: “What were the ‘90s?” the curators and artists construct a space for experimenting on their own memories, to put forth an important question: “What remains today of the ‘90s?” Events and phenomenon don’t disappear completely, don’t dissolve without a trace, they sink into habits and continue in practices today. In remembering the ‘90s we try to understand the present. We not only recreate the sensory story of the ‘90s, we analyze what has been preserved in our memory and become important to us.
