PinchukArtCentre is a private contemporary art centre, located in Kyiv with a collection of works by Ukrainian and international artists. The museum was opened on 16 September 2006[1][2] by the steel billionaire Victor Pinchuk.[3]

The mission of the PinchukArtCentre mission is to exhibit new artistic production and collect national and international contemporary art.[4] The centre's structure and focus consists of an international collection, temporary exhibitions, education programmes, publications, and scholarly research.

In 2007 and 2009, the PinchukArtCentre officially represented Ukraine at the Venice Biennale. Admission to the museum is free.

History

The PinchukArtCentre opened in 2006, founded by Victor Pinchuk, an industrialist originally from Dnipro.[3][5]

In 2007 and 2009, PinchukArtCentre officially organized the Ukrainian Pavilion at the 52nd and 53rd Biennale in Venice. In 2011, the art centre presented the exhibition Future Generation Art Prize @ Venice - Ukrainian Collateral Event on the 54th Venice Biennale.

In late 2008, the centre announced the biennial PinchukArtCentre Prize, the first national prize for young artists up to 35 years old.[6][7] 20 shortlisted artists were selected among more than 1100 applications and an international jury chose the winners of the Main Prize and two Special Prizes. Artem Volokitin from Kharkiv won the Main Prize, and Masha Shubina and Oleksii Salmanov got two Special Prizes. The PinchukArtCentre Prize award ceremony was held on December 4, 2009.

In 2011, the PinchukArtCentre Prize Expert Committee reviewed more than 1,000 applications received from young artists from Ukraine and abroad, and formed a shortlist of the Prize nominees. As part of a group exhibition of 20 shortlisted artists, 20 new artists’ statements, produced with the support of the PinchukArtCentre for the show, were presented at the art centre.

Laureates of the PinchukArtCentre Prize 2011 were announced at the award ceremony that took place on December 9, 2011, in Kyiv. The winner of the Main Prize was Mykyta Kadan; Zhanna Kadyrova and Serhiy Radkevych won two Special Prizes, and the Public Choice Prize went to Mykyta Shalennyi.

In October 2011 PinchukArtCentre opened an application call for the new Curatorial Platform, a two-year full-time program combining a theoretical and practical training in curatorial and exhibition work. The programme is open for all Ukrainians up to 30.

Based on the decision of the selection committee, the first Curatorial Platform participants, chosen from more than 130 applicants, were Lizaveta German (23 years, Kyiv), Tatiana Kochubynska (26 years, Kyiv), Oleksandr Mykhed (23 years, Kyiv), Maria Lanko (25 years, Kyiv) and Kateryna Radchenko (27 years, Odesa). These selected applicants started their two-year residency program in January 2012.

As of February 2012, the total number of PinchukArtCentre visitors since its opening reached over 1,475,000 people.

The scandal with the release of art mediators

In October 2019, mediators working at PinchukArtCentre joined a trade union. They cited violations of labour legislation as the reason for this, particularly the lack of sick leave and paid leave.[8] On December 25, 2019, trade union members held a protest near the PinchukArtCentre, during which they handed the centre's management an official letter about the start of negotiations on the conclusion of a collective labour agreement.[9] However, after the action, the fixed-term contracts of all mediators were not extended, and on February 9, 2020, the management of PinchukArtCentre announced that it was cancelling the position of mediators.[10] This decision caused a significant response in the mass media,[11][12][13][14] after which the centre's management stated that the dismissal of the mediators was not related to the creation of a trade union.[15] In solidarity with the former mediators, the artists Pavlo Grazhdanskij and Valentyna Petrova refused to be nominated for the PinchukArtCentre 2020 Prize,[16] and other artists also declared their support for the mediators.[17] On February 16, 2020 during a public discussion within the PinchukArtCentre Prize nominees exhibition, anthropologist Nadiya Chushak spoke in support of the trade union, reading an appeal from the organization.[18] The Committee of the Verkhovna Rada on Social Policy and Protection of Veterans' Rights used the release of mediators as a precedent when discussing the issue of expanding the scope of using fixed-term employment contracts.[19]

Future Generation Art Prize

On December 1, 2009, the Victor Pinchuk Foundation established Future Generation Art Prize, an online art competition for artists 35 and under,[20] with PinchukArtCentre organizing.

The first jury of the prize included Daniel Birnbaum, Robert Storr, Okwui Enwezor, and Ai Weiwei.[21] On June 29, 2010, seven members of the Selection Committee featuring competent and global art-professionals, selected 20 artists from more than 6,000 applications coming from 125 countries and divided over all continents.

The biennial award consists of a $100,000 prize, $40,000 of which is required to go towards producing art to ensure that the winner continues working.[22] Every two years (with an edition skipping a year in 2016), the PinchukArtCentre holds an exhibition of artists under 35 from around the globe and awards a grand prize. In 2019, they awarded additional special prizes of $20,000.[23] Alongside the central exhibition held at the PinhukArtCentre, the show travels to Venice, Italy as an official collateral event of the Venice Biennale.
