The Karas Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in historical center of Kiev city – Podil on the corner of Andriyivskyy Descent and Vozdvyzhenska street. Karas Gallery becomes one of the first private gallery of conterporary art which works up to date in Ukraine. The gallery was founded by courator and gallerist Evgen Karas togather with his parents – artists Valeriy Karas and Marietta Levkhanyan.

History of the building
The building where Karas Gallery situated was built by unknown architector in 1857 year on the Andriyivskyy Descent. Andriyivskyy Descent is a part of historical and architecture reservation “Ancient Kyiv”. This street from the middle of 1980-th becomes as location for vernissages, festivals, celebrations of anniversaries and other celebrations.

Owners of buildings
According to the diary of ukraiian composer Alexander Koshetz, who lived in this building later, first owner of this building was merchant Sirko (Sirkov), the prototype of one of the person of the comedy “Chasing the two hares” by Mykhailo Starytsky. “Coming to Vozdvyzhenska street, I used to stop on the corner near hammered by nails wicket, and know that famous Proniya Prokopivna had sitting there and awaiting for Holokhvastov." From the end of XIX century building was belonged to negotiant of second guild Ivan Shatrov. Shatrov was an owner of iconographic studio, had a jewelery business, and a lot of public positions. In that building were worked  iconographic artist Dmytro Andrianov and manufacturer of musician instruments Andiy Kuzovlev. From that times on the ceiling of the building unique fretworks in the style of Ukrainian secession with motives of Ukrainian fancywork are remained. On the beginning of XX century rooms in the building rented by iconographic artist P.Shtonda. Also “Union of artists of religious fine art” had gathered in this building.

Prehistory of Gallery
Untill the 1986 year building was used as a living space. 5 families were lived on the area of 180 square meters. For boosting process of moving into the new dwellings tenants of building pour the hot water on the loft for damage the ceiling, with purpose to imitate breakdown rate of this house. As a result Ministry Council of Ukrainian Soviet Social Republic had made a descision to derive from the list of living buildings and pass to artists Valeriy Karas and Marietta Levkhanyan as a creative laboratory. From that time this building became as a location of intercommunication of creative personalities, meeting place of culture activists and critics.

2001
Exhibition art program “Dialogue with citation” The cycle of exhibitions that unites outstanding painters and art critics of Ukrainian contemporary art highlights fundamental problems of modern art process. Art and time are interconnected: they superimpose projection on each other - monologue self-expression would not be possible without this action. The title of the project reflects the attempt to overcome quotation thinking that is the most typical sign of the XX century, when every new art phenomenon resembles “new fabric woven from old citations”. Dialogues with citations constitute the structure of the exhibitions frame and create certain art space that makes more appreciable and significant meta-space of discursive dialogue of different points of view. The subject-matter of the exhibitions is supposed to reveal crucial for our cultural epoch problems – how painters think about these problems, generalized summary of the discursive dialogue. Finally, authors and organizers of the project aim to dialogue, after all the true reality is reality “between” and dialogue on the merge of everything with the whole – the space, where “all contradictions live together”, as Dostoyevskyi says. Painters of the program Olexander Babak (Kyiv), Vasyl Bazhay (Lviv), Petro Bevza (Kyiv), Andriy Bludov (Kyiv), Volodymyr Budnikov (Kyiv), Matviy Vaysberg (Kyiv), Olexander Druganov (Kyiv), Olexander Dubovik (Kyiv), Olexander Zhyvotkov (Kyiv), Mykola Zhuravel (Kyiv), Dmytro Kavsan (Kyiv), Mykola Kryvenko (Kyiv), Anatoliy Kryvolap (Kyiv), Olaxander Matvienko (Lviv), Ralko Vlada (Kyiv), Tiberiy Silvashi (Kyiv), Taras Tabaka (Uzhgorod), Vladyslav Shereshevskyi (Kyiv), Igor Yanovych (Lviv) “Self-identification (overture)” “Reality “between” “World as a text, where everything has been already said” “Explanation to the Other” “Art’s today” “Penetration to the secret” “Returning of the author”
