As prize-winners, they will receive $10,000 and get a short-cut into the Future Generation Art Prize 2021 shortlist — what is more, they will also be exhibited at the next Venice Biennale.
The special prizes (with $2,300 and support on a future production) went to Nikolay Karabinovych and Uli Golub, whilst Daniil Revkovskiy and Andriy Rachinskiy snapped up the $1,000 public choice prize.
The jury, which notably included PinchukArtCentre Artistic Director Björn Geldhof and curator Katerina Gregos, had this to say about Yarema Malashchuk and Roman Himey's work: "Live Stream is a very tight and visually stunning work. It engages choreography in a political, playful and poetic way. The work also offers a complex network of juxtapositions that speak of change and transition, past and present. It negotiates the importance of history and memory, but not in an academic or ossified way."
The prize-winners' work is on show at the Foundation until May, alongside the work of shortlisted artists: AntiGonna(Kyiv), Katya Вuchatska (Kyiv), Uli Golub (Kharkiv/Wroclaw), Pavlo Grazhdanskij (Kharkiv), Ksenia Hnylytska (Kyiv), Alexandra Kadzevich (Odessa), Nikolay Karabinovych (Odessa/Ghent), Anton Karyuk (Kyiv), Oksana Kazmina (Kyiv), Iryna Kudrya (Kyiv), Larion Lozovoy (Kyiv), Timothy Maxymenko (Kyiv), Elias Parvulesco (Kyiv), Valentina Petrova (Prague/Kyiv), Anna Scherbyna (Zaporizhzhia/Kyiv), Alina Sokolova (Uzhhorod/Vienna), Dmytro Starusiev (Makiivka); and the groups 12345678910 Studio (Obraztsov Evgeniy, Dnipro/Kyiv; Omelich Anastasiya, Dnipro/Kyiv; Momot Mikita, Dnipro), Yarema Malashchuk (Kolomiya/Kyiv) and Roman Himey (Kolomiya/Kyiv), Daniil Revkovskiy (Kharkiv) and Andriy Rachinskiy (Kharkiv).
