Happy 20th Ukraine!
It may have a very long and interesting history, but ironically, this great country we live in is one of the youngest in the world. Later this month, Ukraine turns 20, and we here at What’s On would like to wish the country and every one in it, a very happy birthday. As part of this issue dedicated to this great celebration, we’re taking a look back at the last 20 years, noting the most important events in the country’s young life as it comes of age.

A Different Perspective
Depending on your perspective, twenty years may seem like a lot or a little amount of time. Trees grow to be thousands of years old, and so twenty years to a oak is nothing! On the other hand, a twenty-year old car is considered something of a relic. But what does twenty years mean in terms of a country? And depending on whether you were born here or arrived at the turn of independence, does your perspective change?

20 Years of Presence – exhibition of works by contemporary Ukrainian artists, Institute of the Issues Concerning Contemporary Art (Shchorsa 18d), From 25 August
The 20th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence gives everyone in the country, and in fact the world, an opportunity to come to their own conclusions about how this relatively new state has performed. Those in the art sphere have not been left out either.

Hurts (UK, synthpop), Palace Sport (Sportyvna Pl 1), 20 October at 20.00
Having come together in 2009, the Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson twosome has only just started off along its musical path. Since that time, however, they have been hard at work with singer Kylie Minogue, author Joe Stretch and glam-rock band Scissor Sisters. Busy being the two busy boys they are, their song Wonderful Life hit all the charts all over Europe and has often got people singing “Don’t let go, never give up, it’s such a wonderful life.”

In Da Hood, Hike Beach Bar, (Dneprovskaya Naberezhnaya 2a), 5 August at 23.00
Dropping dope beats and killer bass all weekend long (that’s our attempt at homeboy speak), there’s a new beach bar in town called Hike we’re thinkin’ it’s time you checked out. This particular Friday night, DJ Unlimited, DJ Junior Ben and DJ Mark will be at the turntable, and with a little help from a whole lotta people – H-Fam, Gin Tonic, S.NOD, OutSide, KosmoSS & Sep, SkOL, FLip & Dave, and Crazy Vit, just to name a few – this ain’t no teaparty, this here is a shindig of the highest degree.

HITT (Japan, visual kei), Bingo (Peremohy 112), 11 August at 19.00
Visual kei is a movement among Japanese musicians which features the use of makeup, over the top hairstyles and costumes worthy of the best Rockette. The music they play is a subgenre of Japanese rock with a little punk, glam and metal thrown in to spice things up a bit; which is where HITT comes in. He’s Japanese, he’s a singer, songwriter, and musician and he’s got a style very similar to that of visual kei.

Piccolo Amore, an exhibition of photographic works by Vita Buyvyd, Karas Gallery (Andriivsky Uzviz 22a), Until 23 August
Vita Buyvyd is an extraordinary photographer and artist who feels and understands the tension rising in society today. Merging various different genres – such as watercolour and collage – in any one of her exhibitions, this next showcase, Piccolo Amore, uses photography only. It is a series of shots in a megalopolis that focus on a single individual alone in different crowds, where, unfortunate as it is, suicide is often the solution to the incessant loneliness situations like these create.

Cult – an exhibition of works by Albina Yaloz, Ya Gallery (Voloska 55/57), Until 29 August
Ya Gallery, as always, is presenting a very interesting exhibition called Cult, by Odesa artist Albina Yaloza. Concerning herself with the indifference people display toward those household items we use every day, she’s not saying of course that you should have an intimate relationship with your vacuum cleaner; an item that could tell substantial stories given the chance. However, we have come to regard such items as wholly insignificant in today’s busy world, and that’s not good either. What the artist suggests is that we take a look at life through the lives of such items, and bringing each chair, fork or piece of pottery back into a less formal existence, Yaloza expects you will change your tune.

A Man of Many Words
Young, good-looking and successful. But enough about me – let’s talk about Andriy Danilevych. At the tender age of 30, this baby-faced assassin is an editor at TRK Ukraina. He hosts political debates and interviews VIPs, up to and including presidents. He’s just finished for the summer, and What’s On caught up with him before he jetted off to New York.
