KIEV<br />
THE MYSTETSKYI ARSENAL<br />
IF YOU’RE INTO CULTURE, KIEV IS THE<br />
place to be right now. The Mystetskyi<br />
Arsenal boasts over 50,000 square metres<br />
of exhibition space, and claims to be on<br />
course to be Europe’s largest art museum.<br />
The transformation of the former<br />
18th-century army garrison and latter-day<br />
weapons storage depot has been sweeping,<br />
and this gallery is now integral to the city.<br />
Eminent British curator David Elliott<br />
says that the Arsenal project “offers a<br />
new vision of the country, its art, and its<br />
place in the world”. Elliott, who has also<br />
transformed the art scenes of Istanbul,<br />
Tokyo and Sydney, adds: “In my opinion,<br />
the international art community’s<br />
perception of Ukraine as some kind of a<br />
post-Soviet hinterland has changed.”<br />
The Mystetskyi Arsenal is also gearing<br />
up to host <strong>Kiev</strong>’s first ever Art Bienniale,<br />
which will throw open its doors on 17 May.<br />
