Contemporary art will help me to modernise our society.

For me it's very important to turn Kiev into one of the main centers of contemporary art in the world. There is New York. There's London. And there will be Kiev. Everyone will come and say, 'Wow!'

What is extraordinary about contemporary art is the energy - it has our energy. New energy. Pieces hundreds of years old are beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but without our modern energy.

Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics.

We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.

I believe the work of art should change the existing visual, intellectual and aesthetical sense and experiment with finding new visual phenomena.
