00:10.700 --> 00:18.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
DRESSES OR DECORATED EASTER EGGS

00:13.333 --> 00:19.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
BUT A JEWEL OF A MUSEUM

00:17.066 --> 00:21.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
EMPHASIZED CONTEMPORARY ART FOR

00:18.433 --> 00:24.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
MORE THAN 40 YEARS.

00:19.700 --> 00:26.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WE VISITED FOR A LOOK AT ITS

00:21.466 --> 00:28.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
PAST AND IT IS ITS FUTURE.

00:24.300 --> 00:32.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> FOUNDED IN 1971, THE

00:26.800 --> 00:35.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
UKRAINIAN INSTITUTE OF MODERN

00:28.466 --> 00:36.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ART NOW RESIDES BEHIND A FACADE

00:32.566 --> 00:38.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
DESIGNED BY STANLEY TIGERMAN.

00:35.000 --> 00:42.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
INSIDE, A NEW EXHIBITION LOOKS

00:36.633 --> 00:43.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AT THE ART AND LEGACY OF THE

00:38.366 --> 00:45.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE MUSEUM.

00:42.500 --> 00:48.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
THERE ARE SCULPTURES SET IN

00:43.933 --> 00:51.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
MOTION WITH A GENTLE TOUCH.

00:45.900 --> 00:52.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THERE ARE IMPOSES OIL PAINTINGS.

00:48.900 --> 00:54.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AND THERE ARE WORKS THAT ARE

00:51.266 --> 00:56.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
JUST PLAIN PLAYFUL.

00:52.666 --> 00:58.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
THE ARTWORK REPRESENTS THE

00:54.833 --> 01:00.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
CREATIVITY OF A COLORFUL GROUP

00:56.266 --> 01:02.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
OF CHARACTERS.

00:58.033 --> 01:06.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> THEY WERE BRAVE-HEARTED AND

01:00.566 --> 01:07.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DEDICATED TO THEIR MUSE NOT SO

01:02.200 --> 01:09.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
MANY KNOW THAT UKRAINE HAS

01:06.033 --> 01:11.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PRODUCED SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE

01:07.666 --> 01:15.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
AND ESPECIALLY IN ART.

01:09.533 --> 01:18.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND THEY WERE NOT JUST AS PEOPLE

01:11.966 --> 01:21.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WOULD CALL CLASSICAL ART BUT

01:15.333 --> 01:22.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
MODERNIST AND EXPERIMENTALISTS.

01:18.000 --> 01:24.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
SO THEY WANTED TO SHOW THAT

01:21.466 --> 01:26.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
UKRAINIANS ARE DIVERSE AND

01:22.766 --> 01:28.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
DIFFERENT AND CREATIVE AND

01:24.133 --> 01:29.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
WANTED TO SHOW THAT THEY ALSO

01:26.133 --> 01:31.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
HAVE THEIR OWN TALENTS,

01:28.666 --> 01:35.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ABILITIES, AND THEY ARE NOT

01:29.733 --> 01:38.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
AFRAID TO SHOW IT.

01:31.433 --> 01:39.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
>> THEY WERE FOUNDERS

01:35.900 --> 01:41.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
CONSTANTINE AND A PAIR OF

01:38.400 --> 01:43.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
UKRAINIAN-BORN ARTISTS AND

01:39.700 --> 01:45.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
FRIENDS WHO SERVED IN THE U.S.

01:41.266 --> 01:45.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
ARMY AND USED THE GI BILL TO

01:43.500 --> 01:46.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
ATTEND THE SCHOOL OF THE ART

01:45.266 --> 01:49.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
INSTITUTE.

01:45.633 --> 01:50.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THEY FOUNDED THE MUSEUM WITH THE

01:46.733 --> 01:53.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
HELP OF A FAMILY DOCTOR

01:49.600 --> 01:57.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
DEDICATED TO ART.

01:50.666 --> 01:58.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> AT THE VERY BEGINNING THE TWO

01:53.166 --> 01:59.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
ARTISTS THEY DID COLOSSAL WORK

01:57.566 --> 02:01.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
ORGANIZING EXHIBITS HERE AND

01:58.733 --> 02:04.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
THERE.

01:59.033 --> 02:06.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
REACHING OUT TO YOUNG ARTISTS.

02:01.400 --> 02:10.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
FIRST THE UKRAINIAN ROOTS AND WE

02:04.366 --> 02:11.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
REPRESENT FOR MORE THAN 46 YEARS

02:06.933 --> 02:13.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ARTISTS OF OF ALL ROOTS AND

02:10.666 --> 02:14.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
BACKGROUNDS.

02:11.066 --> 02:17.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
NOBODY IS CHECKING DNA IT'S ALL

02:13.333 --> 02:19.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
ABOUT ART.

02:14.800 --> 02:21.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
SO THE UKRAINIAN INSTITUTE OF

02:17.300 --> 02:24.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
MODERN ART IS TEACHING ABOUT

02:19.600 --> 02:26.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
EXPERIMENTAL, INNOVATIVE FORMS

02:21.700 --> 02:26.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
OF ART IN ALL MEDIAS.

02:24.200 --> 02:28.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
THEY WERE VERY INTELLIGENT

02:26.366 --> 02:30.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
PEOPLE.

02:26.800 --> 02:31.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
VERY EDUCATED.

02:28.200 --> 02:34.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
SELF EDUCATED, TOO, BESIDES

02:30.033 --> 02:35.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
GOING THROUGH UNIVERSITIES.

02:31.966 --> 02:35.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THEY ARE VERY SPIRITUAL AND THEY

02:34.033 --> 02:39.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WERE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR

02:35.633 --> 02:40.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
ANSWERS.

02:35.966 --> 02:43.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> THE FOUNDERS MAY HAVE BEEN

02:39.400 --> 02:45.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
NONTRADITIONALLISTS BUT THEY HAD

02:40.166 --> 02:47.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
THE FAITH OF THE COMMUNITY.

02:43.566 --> 02:51.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> SOMETIME ATTENDING THEIR

02:45.466 --> 02:56.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
EXHIBITS SOME PEOPLE PERHAPS DID

02:47.500 --> 02:59.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
NOT UNDERSTAND THEIR ART BECAUSE

02:51.166 --> 03:01.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
IT WAS MINIMALISTIC OR NOT EASY

02:56.433 --> 03:03.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
TO RECOGNIZE PEOPLE ACCUSTOMED

02:59.233 --> 03:04.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
TO THIS IS A HORSE OR A

03:01.966 --> 03:06.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
SUNFLOWER THIS IS ART.

03:03.700 --> 03:07.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
RIGHT.

03:04.033 --> 03:09.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IT WAS MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY

03:06.200 --> 03:11.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AND EXPERIMENTAL IN A WAY BUT A

03:07.700 --> 03:13.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
LOT OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE

03:09.500 --> 03:16.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
COMMUNITY, THE PROMINENT PEOPLE

03:11.200 --> 03:18.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WHO HAD STABLE, STEADY JOBS,

03:13.633 --> 03:19.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
ENGINEERS, DOCTORS, MEDICS, SO

03:16.233 --> 03:21.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THEY WANTED TO SUPPORT THEM EVEN

03:18.566 --> 03:23.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THOUGH SOMETIME MAYBE THEY DID

03:19.933 --> 03:25.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
NOT UNDERSTAND OR DID NOT AGREE

03:21.366 --> 03:28.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WITH CERTAIN THINGS WITH THEM.

03:23.166 --> 03:30.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> ALSO ON VIEW, WOOD CUTS THAT

03:25.600 --> 03:33.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
PROBABLY WOULD NOT OFFEND A

03:43.900 --> 03:49.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOW

EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE.

03:46.900 --> 03:52.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
