For two months in fall 2015, Kyiv was turned into a cultural-political laboratory for the study of questions on the future of Ukraine and Europe. The Kyiv Biennial 2015 – The School of Kyiv, organized by the Visual Culture Research Center (VCRC), opened its classrooms in twenty different spots around the Ukrainian capital and convened the classes of its six “schools”: the Schools of Realism, Landscape, Image and Evidence, the Displaced, and Abducted Europe. The enlightenment intension of its name had a very real dimension: workshops, seminars and lectures could be said to be the main component of the biennial. If the artistic program took as its starting point the didactic practices of Kazimir Malevich and Aleksandra Ekster, the discursive program (although it must be noted that such a division in the context of contemporary art is often conditional) took a bold intellectual course: it invited Europe to its periphery and suggested learning from Kyiv and in Kyiv for the sake of building an alternative European utopia.
