The exhibition's title quotes at once two works created in the 80s in entirely different geographies but connected by a romantic foreboding of an unreachable another place. One of them is the title of the song Just like Arcadia by the British group Psychic TV. Arcadia embodies a utopian ideal of unattainable harmony be- tween humans and nature named after the ancient Greek historical region and simultaneously a scene of simple pleasure and quiet. Consonant to such a description, the picturesque land- scape of the seaside district of Odesa, which became one of the playgrounds for the local avant-garde artistic group in the early 80s, and where I grew up, bears the same name. Here in 1983, before his departure to Moscow, artist Yuri Leiderman created the work "If you face south, Moscow will be left far behind." The precise and poetical liberating impulse of this artistic gesture would become later an important referential point for the discussion on the decolonization of the northern Black Sea, a place of multiculturality, fertility, and abandoned beauty, a dreamlike landscape with an endless coastline, a spirit that always tended to step out protocols and conventions.
