On February 24, to the year of Russia's insidious war against Ukraine, the exhibition "Classics of the future" by the Ukrainian artist from Kyiv Oleksandr Udra was opened at the King Nikola Palace Museum in the city of Bar in Montenegro. Oleksandr’s works combine and represent his main artistic directions - directing and visual art. The artist created the images, the director made them "alive". In this multimedia project, the means of implementation are not brushes, paints, palettes, but people, objects and modern technologies. Previously, the project was presented in the Taras Shevchenko National Museum in Kyiv, in the capital of Montenegro, Podgorica, and in the unique cultural environment of the Montenegrin city of Kotor. Critics and mass media called the project a new trend of art. The exhibition consists of twelve works dedicated to humanity - its past, present and future. Oleksandr’s works to convey that the achievements of modern society, based on the best of the past, and their sustainable and responsible interrelationship, can be found in the future, expanding our possibilities in a new circle of civilization. The months-long process of creating the images culminates in augmented reality, into which the visitor is immersed via a QR code.
