“immersive and uplifting”
The exhibition at the Ukrainian Museum in New York, titled RE:CREATE by the artist Christina Saj, is a revelatory event that absorbs and challenges the viewer. In a gesture both generous and brilliant, Saj posits a group of large vibrantly colored paintings, whose surface is magnetized, along with a large array of small, variously shaped and colored abstract forms. Her invitation, indeed her charge to us, is to transcend the passive role of viewer by choosing from a variety of smaller forms and incorporating them into the large painting. By transforming and reimagining the image the viewer becomes and engaged participant in the creative act – an experience at once immersive and uplifting. The dynamic, involved interaction among those engaged in the exhibition, which often included the active participation of the artist herself, only further ratifies the richness and validity of this compelling experiment.
fascinating and playful!

Courtesy of #siblingadventures The Ukrainian Museum Edition, we made art with existing art. Check out Christina Saj’s exhibit Re:Create – the best exhibit around.
The Best Museum Ever!
It’s fantastic!
…finally saw Christina Saj Farrell‘s interactive exhibit RE:CREATE at the Ukrainian Museum. It’s fantastic. When I read “interactive” I expected something digital but this was so much better. It was hard to pull myself away. This was my “creation” (I added the mirrors, circles, letters, etc to the base art)
Bravo!
“Re-Create,” which engaged every student (participant) to use their creative side. Bravo to Christina Saj, the artist, and all valuable people who initiated this!
creative & original
Creative, original, uplifting exhibition!
Great Job!
that’s how it works in real life….little by little, you try piece after piece, until they click.
“All the participants, including me, were asked to come up with a way to enhance the work of art. We’ve been given many pieces of decorations and had to decide what our final result would look like. First there was a lot of confusion: Should I make it look bright or tone it down? Should there be trees or flowers? Then there was an endless search (or at least it seemed so) for all the right pieces. And then the picture emerged. . .And that’s how it works in real life: You’ve been given a canvas with some patterns on it, then you take your chosen pieces and little by little, you try piece after piece, until they click. . .”
