Burning Man 2025 presents Five Ukraine Art Projects | 24.08 - 01.09.2025 |
Blue Bull Art Car Kurenivka Hub of Ukrainian Creativity and Innovation for Burning Man 2025 built a two-story art car in the shape of the bull called "Blue Bull". The inspiration for the creative team comes from Maria Prymachenko - a self-taught artist who painted hope with a brush soaked in folklore. "Blue Bull" Art Car is 10 meters of power on wheels - standing 7 meters tall. It carries 30 people and houses a custom-built 20kW horn-loaded sound system handcrafted in Odesa - a music summer city on the Black Sea coast. By the idea of the organizers "Blue Bull" breathes music and drives!  The Point of Unity
Artist Mykola Kabluka will present for Burning Man 2025 the sculpture "The Point of Unity" - a construction made of stainless steel and mirrors that combines the sky and the earth in a visual game of reflections. In The Point of Unity sculptures the light is a bridge between earth and sky. Standing inside a person sees a reflection of the world - himself, others, clouds, stars and feels he is a part of something greater. The sound in the sculpture is a harmony of cosmic bodies translated into a melody that sounds natural as if you are listening to the music of Universe.
Project Merman is the only project from Ukraine in 2019 - 2020 among 59 that received a grant from the organizers of Burning Man festival. In 2021 Merman swimmer appeared in size 3 x 3 x 12 meters. He swam through the streets of Kyiv - from the Arch of Friendship to Poshtova square, from UNIT.City to Dream Berry and Covid-19 did not let plans to be implemented. Merman spent the first winter in the warm light of Silpo in Republic Park and In 2022 was prepared for Burning Man 2022 but the war came. And here it is 2025 - finally he is leaving. Five years of waiting, war, pandemic, evacuations, plans that had to be postponed each time. Merman has become more than just an art installation - a symbol of endurance, faith in an idea and co-creation.
Black Cloud with Lightning is a monumental installation weighing seven tons and measuring 30x17x15 meters. It consists of 45 "clouds" sewn from four kilometers of black fabric. Update! Symbolically Black Cloud over Ukraine is Gone on Burning Man 2025! The form refers to a child’s image of a storm cloud - simple, yet disturbing. As the author of the project Liosha Say and producer Vitaliy Deynega, note, the installation periodically “comes to life” - with lightning and thunder, warning of threats that may appear suddenly. For the sound design Ukrainian producer Involver (VovKIMG) used recordings from the acoustic diary of a Zaporizhzhia musician from the band "Barabanza" - during moments of the “thunderstorm,” explosions and shelling of Zaporizhzhia are heard. Black Cloud sculpture was shown in Kyiv on St Sophia Square in June 2025 for citizens and guests of the city.
Lviv Zenyk Art Gallery team and sculptor Volodymyr Semkiv were inspired to create the sculpture "Conquered Death by Death" by the image of Nike of Samothrace which symbolizes Ukraine's struggle for freedom. The sculpture is 7 meters tall with the pedestal and covered by many images of people which perhaps symbolize the great strength of every man and woman of Ukrainian people - in unity and striving for freedom and peace. The strength in unity and patience to overcome evil and hatred and soar into the boundless sky of love for goodness, happiness and prosperity. All will be Ukraine!
