Based on the present situation in Ukraine, The School of Prosperity at MUSA addresses important political issues and frames outlooks on an egalitarian and alternative future beyond crisis, war and corruption within the counterworlds of art. The School of Prosperity constitutes the start of four Schools, which are curated by Hedwig Saxenhuber and Georg Schöllhammer in cooperation with The School of Kyiv, the Kyiv Biennial 2015 (www.theschoolofkyiv.org), and will take place in spring 2016 in Vienna. The different Schools will deal with subjects such as Europe, migration and post-revolutionary traumata, and with realism, landscape and the ideological and nationalist image of present-day wars. This introduces a new format for art biennials, beginning with exhibitions and public forums at 17 locations in Kyiv and expanding to a range of institutions in cities across Europe. IThe Visual Culture Research Center in Kyiv plays a vital role here and has recently become one of the most important spaces for discussion in the Ukrainian capital.

Along with presenting art projects by biennial participants such as Serhiy Bratkov, Alice Creischer, Anna Jermolaewa, Zhanna Kadyrova, Franz Kapfer, Dariia Kuzmych, Yuri Leidermann, Mykola Ridnyi, Mikhail Tolmachev, Titre Provisoire (Marcel Dickhage/ Cathleen Schuster) and Stas Volyazlovsky, there are plans for various events dealing with the present situation in Ukraine, Russia and Europe. The School of Kyiv is sponsored by SHIFT.
