Ezhi Onukh

Director of the Kyiv's Modern Arts Center, founded by George Soros, Ezhi Onukh wipes the cream from his face, after somebody hurled a cake at him during the action "Insipid Art" in the Center's Exhibition Hall on December 20, 2000. The NTO artists group representatives carried out the action as a token of protest against the biased selection of the participants from Ukrainian party in the artistic Venice Biennial 2001. Notwithstanding the passion, flaring up around the Biennial's participants selection, it is nice that Ukraine will for the first time take part in it. The Biennial is very prestige action and is carried out many years on end. Photo by Ulo Yalakas/ UNIAN
