Monumental and decorative architecture of the terminal is a phenomenon in Ukraine\u2019s culture. It represents not only a period in Ukrainian arts but also a public and cultural phenomenon in Ukraine\u2019s history. Decorations of the terminal actually \u201cstarted a new stage in Ukrainian wall-painting \u2013 monumental art of the second half of the XX century that produced a distinct public impact and reflected changes in the society. Artists that worked over the project are classics of Ukrainian art: Ivan Lytovchenko, Valeriy Lamakh, Ernest Kotkov etc.,\u201d noted researcher Galyna Sklyarenko at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n<p>According to Yevhenia Molyar, curator of the \u201cSOVIET MOSAICS IN UKRAINE\u201d project by Izolyatsia foundation, inside the river passenger terminal there are one of the first monumental panels and friezes. At that time they were experimental as the authors were using ceramic tiles, colored cement and were mixing various techniques. \u201cThe whole building is a consolidated artistic piece. The entire work is a combination of architecture and monumental art and is an inseparable artistic and architectural piece,\u201d noted Molyar emphasizing that it is impossible to take away a part of the artistic work even if it may seem inappropriate to somebody in the light of de-communization processes.<\/p>\n<p>Researcher Lizaveta German emphasized that it is important to explain the artistic value of these works to people, why they are interesting, why one can be proud of them as well as explain their political context in modern language. \u201cNot everything that was created at that time is communist, otherwise everything created in the XX century should have been destroyed,\u201d German is convinced. Natalia Lytovchenko, daughter of Ivan Lytovchenko who is one of the authors of mosaics at the river passenger terminal and award-winning Ukrainian artist, added that back then it would have not been possible for artists to create these works without referring to the socialist context. She also said that the mosaics are also valuable as they mark the transition from Stalin-era pompous architecture to constructivism of the 60s.<\/p>\n<p>Arts experts are unanimous as to the need to have the plates installed by each of these works that would say the works are cultural and historic heritage and would explain the history of its making and its cultural meaning. Spokesman of \u201cRichPort\u201d (River Port) Anton Freedland said main mission of having the river passenger terminal renovated is to return its tourist function. The plan is to create a gallery of restaurants inside, this way everybody will be able to see the interior of the terminal. Also, the plan is to create a restaurant-museum, it will be telling the story of Dnipro and of the river transport. \u201cWhether to preserve the mosaics or not \u2013 is not on the agenda, they are surely to be preserved. They will be definitely taken into consideration when changing the terminal planning and adjusting its functionality,\u201d reassured Freedland. He said the project will be implemented while keeping in mind that the river passenger terminal is to regain its transportation function someday. Visual concept is to be presented in late February \u2013 in the beginning of March, first part of the project is due to be ready in summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Kyiv, February 17, 2016.
