The Ecologies of Peace

Co-organized by TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and C3A Centro de Creación Contemporánea de Andalucía, Córdoba

Dates: April 26, 2024 - March 30, 2025
Curated by Daniela Zyman

Walid Raad/The Atlas Group - Vivian Suter - Ursula Mayer - The Propeller Group - Suzanne Treister - Saodat Ismailova - Sanja Iveković - Samson Kambalu - Ryan Gander - Ritu Sarin & Tenzing Sonam - Rachel Rose - Pavlo Makov - Olaf Nicolai - Nikita Kadan - Neïl Beloufa - Monica Bonvicini - Marine Hugonnier - Lucas Arruda - Lorenzo Sandoval - Lisa Rave - Lawrence Abu Hamdan - Joiri Minaya - John Akomfrah - Jenny Holzer - Jasbir Puar and Dima Srouji - Janet Cardiff - Goshka Macuga - Fiona Banner - Daniel Otero Torres - Cristina Garrido - Candice Breitz - Ayrson Heráclito - Armin Linke - Amar Kanwar - Álvaro Urbano - Allora & Calzadilla - Allan Sekula - Akram Zaatari

“The Ecologies of Peace” is structured around four pressing “unpeace” constellations of our time. It delves into the protracted military engagement in Ukraine, explores the enduring aftermath of colonialism and the work of dismantling racism, and navigates the complex histories of conflict in the Middle East, which form the backdrop to the virulent eruption of war in October 2023. Furthermore, it scrutinizes the intricate topography of (future) conflicts driven by the addiction to fossil fuels, resource extractivism, and compounding environmental catastrophes. Within these “unpeace” scenarios, the exhibition foregrounds a rich repertoire of investigative methodologies from the applied methods of counter-forensics, situated witnessing to the evocative power of storytelling, to philosophical speculation and meticulous archiving and counter-mappings.

Unresurrected. Against Necropolitics of Immortality
Natalia Sielewicz, curator at the Warsaw Museum of Modern Art,in conversation with Nikita Kadan

Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, during the Fifth International Khardzhiev Conference on 1 and 2 March 2024. This conference is dedicated to Cosmism.

In the face of the death cult of Russian imperialism and the resurrection of its geopolitical expansion ‘Русский мир’ (Russian world), the West rests in a self-satisfying illusion of undisturbed safety. At the same time, catastrophe continues to be outsourced to its so-called peripheries. Over a century ago, Cosmism imagined universal immortality and eternal life for humankind, but today its provisions sound more idealistic than ever. As the bodies are abducted and deported, as they are disposed of in mass graves and mobile crematoriums, the question arises: who defines the materialist conditions of the dead and the undead in times of carnage and total annihilation? Who controls the march of those to be immortalized and what could the resurrection site be? Before approaching the cosmo-idealism of the new galactics, it seems we need to first look deep into the underworld of forgetfulness.

Kyiv Perennial

Neue Gesellschaft Für Bildende Kunst (NGbK), Station Urbaner Kulturen/NGbK Hellersdorf, Between Bridges, Prater Galerie

The Kyiv Perennial project, conceived by the Visual Culture Research Center (VCRC), the institutional organizer of the Kyiv Biennial, together with nGbK, Between Bridges, and Prater Galerie in Berlin in 2024, is a follow-up to the pan-European edition of the 2023 Kyiv Biennial with dispersed exhibitions and public programs in a number of Ukrainian and EU cities. Kyiv Perennial’s strategy is based on approaches that merge artistic production, critical knowledge, and social engagement in a state of emergency, and is defined by the struggles that Ukrainian society is engaged in while fighting against Russia’s fascist invasion and a neo-colonial war of extermination and extraction.

Participants: DE NE DE, Dmytro Hreshko, Nikita Kadan, Yana Kononova, Daria Kozlova and Arwina Afsharnejad, Vladyslav Riaboshtan, Anton Shebetko, Anonymous, Zuzanna Czebatul, Yarema Malashchuk and Roman Khimei, Mykola Ridnyi, Leon Kahane, Anna Scherbyna and Christina Werner, Christina Werner, Pavel Brăila, Uliana Bychenkova, Experimental Jetset, Marina Naprushkina, Aliona Solomadina, Wolfgang Tillmans

Jerome Poggi gallery | Project Space

This February’s programme sadly coincides with the anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine, on February 24th, 2022. The gallery has naturally chosen to offer its Project Space to Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan, who is presenting several works from the Universal Ruins series, testifying to the universal dimension of the drama unfolding on Europe’s doorstep. A particularly poignant sound work by the artist will be broadcast on Saturday afternoon, February 24th.

Babi Badalov and Nikita Kadan’s exhibitions at the gallery will run from February 9th to March 9th, 2024.

Kaleidoscope of (Hi)stories
Art from Ukraine

October 14, 2023–January 28, 2024

Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle
Blijmarkt 20
8011 NE Zwolle

Taking four themes as a point of departure, the exhibition unveils the strong intertwinement of Ukrainian diverse history, its permanent social and political turbulence with Ukrainian artists’ work. Practices of Resistance, Cultures of Memory, Spaces of Freedom, and Thoughts about the Future, each reflect on the dynamic between the claim for freedom and the mechanisms of repression through art.
Kaleidoscope of (Hi)stories is presenting new commissioned works from Nikita Kadan, Alevtina Kakhidze, Nikolay Karabinovych, Kateryna Lysovenko, Kateryna Snizhko, and Anna Zvyagintseva.

Historical positions: Oleksandr Archypenko, Oleksandr Bohomazov, Kateryna Bilokur, Alla Horska, Leonila Hrytsenko, Boris Kriukov, Viktor Palmov, Sergei Parajanov, Oksana Pavlenko, Maria Prymachenko, Maria Siniakova, Hanna Sobachko-Shostak, Fedir Tetianych, Tetyana Yablonska, Ludmyla Yastreb, Vasyl Yermylov, Halyna Zhegulska.

The exhibition will be accompanied by an extensive catalogue with essays by curators Tetiana Kochubinska, Maria Isserlis & Aude Christel Mgba, and contributions by participating artists Yevgenia Belorusets & Larion Lazovyl. A publication by Waanders, Museum de Fundatie and Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.

кураторський коментар: “Це виставка про життя-у-втрачанні. Не перелік втрат, не оплакування, а спроба вловити сам по собі стан постійного втрачання, дати йому форму та голос. Попри це, виставка є оптимістичною, вона має в собі есхатологічний оптимізм, ту надію попри все, ту найвищу інтенсивність проживання життя, що містяться у самому серці катастрофи. Мистецтво на цій виставці належить як до нинішнього часу, так і до попередніх періодів української історії ХХ століття. Зустрічі, серед інших, робіт Олега Голосія та Маргарити Половинко, Ревковського-Рачинського та Алли Горської, Євгенії Бєлорусець та Федора Тетянича, роблять видимою тяглість цього життя-у-втрачанні й есхатологічного оптимізму як певних констант тутешнього способу бути“.

The Veil of Irpin & Tryvoha
Nikita Kadan

In Flanders Fields Museum
Ypres

Two works by Nikita Kadan are exhibited in Flanders Fields Museum and in St. Peter’s Church in Ypres . They were created in frames of Kadan’s residency in the museum and are connecting the history of Ypres (which was the site where chemical weapons were used for the first time in the First World War) and Kyiv region (where the trances of Russian war against Ukraine are visible on an everyday basis).

«The Veil of Irpin & Tryvoha» was possible due to cooperation and support of Flanders Fields Museum, Galerie Transit (Mechelen), Albertinum — Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and Asortymentna Kimnata (Ivano-Frankivsk).

Albertinum Museum, Dresden

The Albertinum is dedicating a comprehensive survey exhibition to modern Ukrainian art. It is the first of its kind in Germany and Europe. Paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations, video works, graphic art and archives represent Ukrainian art from the beginning of the 20th century to the present.

To promote art production, new works by artists Nikita Kadan, Kateryna Lysovenko, Lada Nakonechna and Masha Reva will be presented. Works by contemporary artists Yevgenia Belorusets, Sergey Bratkov, Katya Buchatska, David Chichkan, Zhanna Kadyrova, Dana Kavelina, Lesia Khomenko, Maria Kulikovska, Sasha Kurmaz, Lada Nakonechna, Yuri Leiderman, Boris Mikhailov, Mykola Ridnyi, Anna Zvyagintseva, Yarema Malashchuk & Roman Himey as well as many others are also on display. Historical positions are represented by Kateryna Bilokur, Alla Horska, Viktor Palmov, Oksana Pavlenko, Maria Prymachenko, Maria Siniakova, Fedir Tetianych, Tetiana Yablonska, Vasyl Yermilov. In dialogue, they show the continuity of culture and the sources of contemporary art in Ukraine since its beginnings from the avant-garde to the present day.

The Pain of Others
8 Dec 2022 – 16 Apr 2023

DOX Art Centre, Prague

The project has been triggered by the unjustifiable Russian invasion of Ukraine and the unspeakable atrocities that have been happening over many months now. Yet, importantly, the exhibition’s main focus is not the war in Ukraine. Neither is it politics nor ideologies. The ambition is to address a universal human experience - our capacity to connect with other people’s pain and suffering through art.

Do Goya’s The Disasters of War, the terrible memento of Spain’s brutal, 19th-century struggle for independence speak to us in the same way as war images of 21st-century conflicts? Can art bring an insight that is different from the rational expertise of other approaches?

The exhibition will feature contemporary painting, photography, graphic art, videos, and installations by artists from different countries including Andreas Serrano, Christian Boltanski, Gerhard Richter, Nikita Kadan, and others. Relevant historical artworks will provide a wider perspective.

Exhibiting artists: Hans Peter Alvermann, Ali Arkady, Christian Boltanski, Dario Bosio, Wilhelm Brasse, Sergey Bratkov, Jacques Callot, Robert Capa, Stefano Carini, Maurizio Cattelan, Dagmar Demming, Otto Dix, Roger Fenton, Abel Gance, Francisco Goya, Stanley Greene, Gottfried Helnwein, Nikita Kadan, Zhanna Kadyrova, Bohuš Kubinský, Sasha Kurmaz, Kateryna Lysovenko, František Novák, Marsel Onysko, Claus Otto Paeffgen, Party Of The Dead, Gerhard Richter, Andres Serrano, Tim Shaw, Chaim Sokol, Bohdan Sokur, Lena Stroganova & Alina Dykhman, Alexander Tinei, Rosemarie Trockel, Nick Ut, Matvei Vaisberg, Jitka Válová, Vasilij Vasiljevič Vereščagin, Alina Yakubenko, Yōsuke Yamahata a Kamila Ženatá

The Fire and the Ashes. Nikita Kadan

October 7, 2022 - March 12, 2023
MSL museum, Lodz

The Fire and the Ashes is a solo exhibition by a contemporary Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan. In addition to a selection of installations, photographs, drawings and sculptures from the last few years, we will see new works that directly address the war in Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2014. Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź, with its iconic Neoplastic Room, will also become a space where the complex history of avant-garde art, which often transcends clear-cut national identities, will be revisited.

The title of the exhibition refers to the words of French socialist Jean Jaurès: 'Take from the altars of the past the fire - not the ashes...'. Nikita Kadan, in addition to the revolutionary energy of 'fire', is equally interested in the 'ashes of history' and how we critically work with the past.

In addition to the works of Nikita Kadan, the exhibition will feature works by the following artists from the collection of the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź: Theo van Doesburg, Jean Hélion, Bolesław Utkin, Henryk Stażewski, Władysław Strzemiński, Samuel Szczekacz, Magrit Reich-Sielska Marek Włodarski, Georges Vantongerloo.

PRACTITHEORIZING COUNTER­INSTITUTIONS AT DOCUMENTA FIFTEEN

The workshop Practitheorizing Counterinstitutions is organized by IMAGINART in collaboration with lumbung members The Question of Funding and OFF-Biennale Budapest.

9.9.2022, 9.30 am-7.00 pm CEST
10.9.2022, 9.30 am-7.00 pm CEST

Location: WH22 AKA, Kassel

In this collective thought exercise, IMAGINART takes lumbung in the form it is practiced at documenta fifteen as a starting point for reflecting on how institutions are being re-imagined in different parts of the world. Practitheorizing Counterinstitutions invites speakers to alternate between the roles of storyteller, theoretician, and harvester and shift between modes of engagement. The workshop acknowledges that practice is produced and reflected upon at the same time, and that theory emerges from and exists in collective practice. By combining practice with theory and reframing the latter as compost to fertilize crops from which to harvest institutional imaginaries, IMAGINART seeks to create the conditions for re-thinking the (im-)possible institutions they want to inhabit.

When Faith Moves Mountains

PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv

When Faith Moves Mountains

143 days after the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion in Ukraine, the PinchukArtCentre (Kyiv, Ukraine) opens again on July 17th with When Faith Moves Mountains. The major group exhibition with over 45 artists, presented in partnership with, and thanks to M HKA and the Flemish Government will put the focus on Ukraine as a country open to the world and will celebrate its deep roots and relation to Europe.
The exhibition When Faith Moves Mountains brings together works chosen from M HKA/the collection of the Flemish Community, because of their emancipatory and empowering nature. More than 40 works from international artists are being lent. Even though the collection cannot be insured to any damages of war, M HKA and the Flemish Government chose to share resources and invest a significant part of their heritage into Ukraine. They are shown in dialogue with works by Ukrainian artists, many made during the war. The outcome is a space that invites us to feel, think and reflect beyond the immediate urgencies of war.
The scars of the First and Second World War are engraved in the Flemish landscape. A symbolic inclusion to the exhibition is therefore the work Flanders Fields (2000), by Berlinde De Bruyckere that references the First World War where Flanders was an essential battlefield. Then too, artists were sketching, writing poems, playing music while stationed in the trenches. It was a way not to lose touch of their humanity, a way to move beyond being an instrument of war.

From the M HKA collection, part of the Collection of the Flemish Community, there are works from Hüseyin Bahri Alptekin (Türkiye, 1957-2007), Francis Alÿs (Belgium, 1959), Babi Badalov (Azerbaijan, 1959), Jan Cox (Netherlands/Belgium, 1919-1980), Berlinde De Bruyckere (Belgium, 1964), Jan de Lauré (Belgium, 1978), Marlene Dumas (South Africa, 1953), Jan Fabre (Belgium, 1958), Sheela Gowda (India, 1957), Hiwa K (Irak, 1975), Barbara Kruger (United States, 1945), Mark Lewis (Canada, 1958), Kerry James Marshall (United States, 1955), Almagul Menlibayeva (Kazakhstan, 1969), Nastio Mosquito (Angola, 1981), Otobong Nkanga (Nigeria, 1974), ORLAN (France, 1947), Wilhelm Sasnal (Poland, 1972), Allan Sekula (United States, 1951-2013), Adrien Tirtiaux (Belgium, 1980) and Luc Tuymans (Belgium, 1958).

From Ukraine there are works from among others Oleksandr Burlaka (1982), Oksana Chepelyk (1961), Danylo Galkin (1985), Nikita Kadan (1982), Alevtina Kakhidze (1973), Lesia Khomenko (1980), Kinder Album, Vlada Ralko (1969), Oleksii Sai (1975), Andriy Sagaidakovsky (1957), Yevhen Samborsky (1984), Anna Zvyagintseva (1986) and the group of Yarema Malashchuk (1993) and Roman Khimei (1992).

Feralizing

Warsaw, June 9-12, 2022

Feral is what was first changed by humans but is now beyond systems of control and escapes domestication. Ferity can be messy, unruly, the impure realm between the natural and artificial, between technology and imagination, science and art. Humans and nonhuman animals, ecologies, effects, processes, but also theories can be feral in this sense. Few outside of desolate circumstances will choose the feral state, which is often marked by violence, isolation and insecurity. Yet what is the current political, ecological and social situation if not desolate? For this edition of the New Alphabet School modern witches, artists, urban gardeners, storytellers and escapees explore these multidimensional spaces in lectures and workshops, inquiring how to address, create and use feral cartographies as liberating confusions. How can feral spirituality be practiced when connections to certain traditions have been lost? How can we address feral phenomena that cannot be grasped in established categories? Is it possible to feralize one’s thoughts?

Curated in cooperation with Agata Kowalewska and Jacob Eriksen.

With program contributions by (in order of appearance) Ania Nowak, Joanna Rajkowska, Nikita Kadan, Jack Halberstam, Zakole Wawerskie, Małgorzata Wosińska and The Permanent Provisory Antifascist Brygada in Warsaw, Chto Delat, AM Kanngieser, Paula Montecinos Oliva, Saleh KY AbuShamala and Rawand A Hilles, Greta Di Girolamo and Consuelo Terra, Aparecida Arguello, Ivy Ashleigh Da Gorriti, Liv Furka and Tomasz Szcepanek.

Jiá Fèng 夹缝

Troy House
London, 26/04/2022 - 30/06/2022

Javier González Pesce, Lei Yan, Nikita Kadan, Yui Inoue, Yuya Suzuki & Zhenhua Li

The Troy House Art Foundation annual project “Jiá Fèng 夹缝” will open to the public on the 25th of April, 2022. “Jiá Fèng 夹缝” is initiated by artist Yuan Gong, it is curated to respond to current socio-political crises and human conditions. “Jiá Fèng” means a very limited space - it is referring to people who are recreating a space to stay and survive in such a narrow room. People are looking for the loss during their displacement. When the freedom gradually disappears, where is the freedom of art? “Jiá Fèng” is like a society - a society that is losing its freedom. We are in the Jiá Fèng.

“Jiá Fèng 夹缝” is a dynamic project that engages discussions on topics such as geopolitics, war and refugees, politics and art, and so forth. The project will be open to the public, including exhibitions, screenings and open calls. “Jiá Fèng 夹缝” consists of three projects: the Points Art Residency Retrospective, Voices from Ukraine and an artist residency Open Call in 2022.

THIS IS UKRAINE: DEFENDING FREEDOM @ VENICE 2022

A Collateral Event of the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia
April 23 - August 7, 2022

Scuola Grande della Misericordia, Sestiere Cannaregio, 3599, 3012, Venice, Italy

Across two chapters, the exhibition reasserts Ukraine's cultural resilience that has always defined itself, even in the most challenging times, through its ability to think and create critically. Artists refuse direct war narratives and instead reflect deeply on their meaning, origin, and impact.

The first chapter brings monumental and emotional works from three artists who continue to live and work in Ukraine during Russia's war in Ukraine. The newly created pieces from Yevgenia Belorusets (1980), Nikita Kadan (1982), and Lesia Khomenko (1980) use the poetics of object evidence and the voice of witness to reflect on the realities of the war they bear witness to. The artworks are shown in dialogue with Ukrainian historical masterpieces, including works from Maria Priymachenko (Ukraine, 1909), Tetyana Yablonska (Ukraine, 1917), and an icon believed to be from artist Stefan Medytsky (Ukraine, 17th century).

The second chapter presents Ukrainian artists alongside international artist friends, they overview a deep connection to the country whilst forming a common front against the war. Their works respond to the urgent need for the global community to rally around Ukraine. These include Marina Abramović (Serbia, 1946), Olafur Eliasson (Denmark, 1967), JR (France, 1983), Damien Hirst (UK, 1965), Boris Mikhailov (Ukraine, 1938), and Takashi Murakami (Japan, 1962).

A Letter From the Front

MARCH 10, 2022 FROM 01:00AM
MARCH 13, 2022 TO 07:00PM
Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea

Castello di Rivoli presents a selection of filmic works and moving images by contemporary artists from Ukraine titled A Letter From the Front, curated by artist Nikita Kadan (Kiev, 1982) with Giulia Colletti.

Ukrainian artists who participate in this event with their works are currently blocked in the cities under siege or have managed to take refuge in the border areas or in neighboring countries. They are mobilizing within or outside the borders of the war-torn country, measuring themselves against distances through their own bodies. Some of them were unable to recover their hard drives before leaving their homes and studios, and therefore this project can only deal with the ways in which artworks are saved in digital format on servers, clouds and web platforms.

Виставку складають чотири історії, кожна з яких розказана у діалозі з локаціями та артефактами Львівської галереї мистецтв. Ці експозиції-історії поєднує тема перетворення травми на зброю та майбутньої універсальної «останньої перемоги», яка належатиме не історичним тріумфаторам, але упослідженим і жертвам. Водночас, ці експозиції розглядають показану в музеї історію мистецтва як «історію ран».

Never Again, Art against War and Fascism in the 20th and 21st centuries

30 Aug - 17 Nov. 2019
Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw

“Never Again. Art against War and Fascism in the 20th and 21st centuries” identifies iconic images and key aspects of the anti-fascist tradition throughout the above moments in history. We use images as a prism through which to portray the complexity of the anti-fascist stance and the variety of approaches to the problem: from political satire and testimonies of atrocities, to apocalyptic forecasts and visual propaganda, to more ambiguous abstract articulations of pro-democratic and anti-authoritarian content. We highlight the moments of self-reflection, the self-awareness of the entanglements of the anti-fascist movements, which are visible in seminal artworks, such as Guernica, or at moments of crisis, such as the “Arsenal” exhibition. We embrace studies on the history of images that accompanied the anti-fascist movements as a tool to understand today’s stances and activities that define themselves as egalitarian and pro-democratic. We look at works by contemporary artists, such as Hito Steyerl, Nikita Kadan and Wolfgang Tillmans, in search of evidence of the continuity of the anti-fascist tradition, we ask about its effectiveness in the face of such phenomena as the acceptance of hate speech, post-truth, the escalation of acts of violence, the return of aggressive nationalism and populism. At the same time, we discern the weaknesses of such “safety fuses” of peaceful order as liberal democracy and the European Union.

What images are able to affect the imagination, organise resistance, initiate constructive community projects? Is it the language of critical art? Are these strategies that deploy the iconography of popular culture, fashion, enter the mainstream? We also ask about the role of propaganda – as a manner in which the work affects the viewers’ emotions and attitudes, but also as a tool of civic pro-democratic mobilisation. We reconsider the very definition of fascism. Highlighting the differences between historical circumstances, aware of the deficits of the anti-fascist tradition, we seek contemporary, communicative and effective art that speaks against war, against fascism.

The exhibition presents works by such artists as – in the 1930s: Maja Berezowska, Alice Neel, Dora Maar, George Grosz, John Heartfield, Jonasz Stern, Leopold Lewicki, Sasza Blonder, Adam Marczyński, Bolesław Stawiński, Bronisław Wojciech Linke, Stanisław Osostowicz; – in the 1950s: Izaak Celnikier, Alina Szapocznikow, Jerzy Tchórzewski, Erna Rosenstein, Marek Oberländer, Jan Dziędziora, Jerzy Tchórzewski, Tadeusz Trepkowski, Waldemar Cwenarski, Wojciech Fangor, Andrzej Wróblewski, Xavier Guerrero; – today: Alice Creischer, Nikita Kadan, Forensic Architecture, Jonathan Horowitz, Goshka Macuga, Mario Lombardo, Mykola Ridnyi, Hito Steyerl, Martha Rosler, Raymond Pettibon, Wilhelm Sasnal, The Society of Friends of Maxwell Itoya and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Project of Ruins

Thursday, June 27, 2019 to Sunday, October 06, 2019

mumok (Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig), Vienna

In his exhibition, Nikita Kadan (born 1982 in Kiev) explores current social and political developments in Ukraine and their foundations in Soviet communism. In his installations, objects, and pictures he shows the extent to which the emancipatory side of the communist avant-garde has been repressed today, in the context of both military conflict with Russia and neoliberal profiteering. He illustrates this with reference to the present state’s approach to monuments from the communist period, which have been left to decay or been destroyed. Kadan advocates a more complex view of the past and its utopias, particularly looking at the biographies of two key figures in the Ukrainian-Soviet avant-garde: Vasyl Yermilov (1894–1968) and Ivan Kavaleridze (1887–1978).

Divided We Stand, the 9th Busan Biennale

8.9-11.11.2018

The Busan Biennale reveals the list of artists for its 2018 edition. The 65 participants from 34 countries were selected by Artistic Director Cristina Ricupero, Curator Jörg Heiser and Guest Curator Gahee Park, with the help of an advisory board including Jee-sook Beck, Youngwook Lee, Minouk Lim, and Manu D. Park, as well as further advice from Tarek Abou El Fetouh, Julia Grosse, and Yekhan Pinarligil.

Titled Divided We Stand, the theme of the 9th Busan Biennale is that of split territories as reflected in artists’ work from around the world. The exhibition will take place at the Museum of Contemporary Art Busan and the former Bank of Korea in Busan. The two venues reflect the biennale’s theme: at the newly opened museum, the main focus is the Cold War era and its uncanny return in the present, while at the former Bank of Korea building, alternate futurist scenarios will unfold, looking at our current state of being through the lens of science fiction. The exhibition architecture for both venues has been designed by mnlp architects (Seoul/London).

The list of artists:
Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme (Cyprus/USA), Bani Abidi (Pakistan), Chantal Akerman (Belgium), Dora Longo Bahia (Brazil), Maja Bajevic (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Khaled Barakeh (Syria), Yael Bartana (Israel), Jean-Luc Blanc (France), Oscar Chan Yik Long (Hong Kong), Onejoon Che (South Korea), Mina Cheon (South Korea), Chin Cheng Te (Taiwan), Sunah Choi (South Korea), Phil Collins (UK), Christoph Dettmeier (Germany), Mauricio Dias & WalterRiedweg (Brazil/Switzherland), Smadar Dreyfus (Israel), Eva Grubinger (Austria), Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige (Lebanon), Ramin & Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian (Iran/Iran/USA), Flaka Haliti (Kosovo), Kiluanji Kia Henda (Angola), Andy Hope 1930 (Germany), Hsu Chia-Wei (Taiwan), Young Zoo Im (South Korea), Joo Hwang (South Korea), Yunsun Jung (South Korea), Nikita Kadan (Ukraine), Wanuri Kahiu (Kenya), Amar Kanwar (India), Hayoun Kwon (South Korea), Oliver Laric (Austria), Minwhee Lee & Yun Choi (South Korea), Gabriel Lester (Netherlands), Minouk Lim (South Korea), Laura Lima & Zé Carlos Garcia (Brazil), Lin + Lam (USA/Canada), Liu Ding (China), Marko Lulic (Austria), Fabian Marti (Switzerland), Augustin Maurs (France), Metahaven (Netherlands), Nástio Mosquito (Angola), Henrike Naumann (Germany), Marcel Odenbach (Germany), Melik Ohanian (France), Ferhat Ozgur (Turkey), Kelvin Kyung Kun Park (South Korea), Susan Philipsz (UK), Adrian Piper (USA), Min Jeong Seo (South Korea), Bruno Serralongue (France), Tayfun Serttas (Turkey), Hito Steyerl (Germany), Jan Svenungsson (Sweden), Tamura Yuichiro (Japan), Javier Téllez (Venezuela), The Propeller Group (Vietnam/Vietnam/USA), Suzanne Treister (UK), Lars von Trier (Denmark), Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas (Lithuania), Jane and Louise Wilson (UK), Ming Wong (Singapore), Ulrich Wüst (Germany), Zhang Peili (China)

Нікіта Кадан

(не)означені

Основою виставки є роботи Нікіти Кадана, які складаються з трьох серій: "Хроніки", "Погром" та "Національний ландшафт". Через мистецьке опрацювання фотографій жертв найстрашніших масових злочинів ХХ століття, автор звертається до теми насилля і ставить питання про небезпеки заідеологізування і маніпулювання, витіснення "незручної історії" та наслідків "конкуренцій пам’ятей". Особливістю виставки є залучення дослідників, насамперед істориків, але теж представників таких дисциплін, як філософія, антропологія, психіатрія, література, право, візуальні студії. Це автори та авторки з України, США, Польщі, Великобританії, Німеччини та Нідерландів, які працюють з джерельними матеріалами та беруть участь у сучасних дискусіях про ці теми.

Автори текстів: Омер Бартов (Браунський Університет, США), Карел Беркгоф (Інститут дослідження війни, Голокосту та геноцидів в Амстердамі, Нідерланди), Кейт Браун (Університет Меріленду, США), Ганс Ульріх Гумбрехт (Стенфордський університет, США), Ян Томаш Ґросс (Прінстонський університет, США), Джессіка Зиховіч (Університет Мічигану, США / Києво-Могилянська Академія, Україна), Роман Кечур (Львівський медичний університет, Україна), Крістоф Мік (Уорвікський університет, Великобританія), Михайло Мінаков (Києво-Могилянська Академія, Україна), Ґжеґож Мотика (Польська академія наук, Польща), Олена Петренко (Рурський університет, Німеччина), Мартін Поллак (письменник, Австрія), Юрій Радченко (Центр дослідження міжетнічних відносин Східної Європи, Україна), Філіп Сендс (Лондонський університет, Великобританія), Кай Штруве (Університет Мартіна Лютера, Німеччина), Яніна Струк (письменниця та фотограф, Великобританія), Адрій Усач (історик, Україна), Джейсон Франціско (Університет Еморі, США), Артем Харченко (Центр дослідження міжетнічних відносин Східної Європи, Україна), Джон-Пол Химка (Університет Альберти, США), Марсі Шор (Єльський університет, США).

Into the Dark

May 19, 2016 - May 29, 2016

Kunsthalle Exnergasse
WUK, Vienna

"Into the Dark" - an exhibition by the curatorial group Hudrada - is a collected documentation of performance actions carried out by artists at different times, starting in the 1980s and 1990s, mainly in Ukraine, as well as abroad. A deliberately helpless political gesture, taken to absurd lengths, and sometimes carried out completely alone, is what links these actions. And yet both responsibility for the gesture and its utterance spread beyond the action itself, and anyone who did not take part is nonetheless involuntarily drawn in to its field.
The 1980s and 1990s actions of Fedir Tetyanych, Yuri Leiderman and Masoch Fund do not bear witness to the formation of a tradition; in the context of the exhibition they assert their relevancy today, exploring the mad, the self-traumatising, the antisocial and at the same moment socially-utopian act.
The chronology of the works presented in the exhibition may be seen as capturing the principal political upheavals and events which have occurred in Ukraine over the last 30 years. The documenting of a lonely passage through a forest at night, "Night in the forest", a collective work from 2015 initiated by a Russian-Ukrainian artists' collective, completes the series.

Disobedience Archive (The Republic)

Curator: Marco Scotini

Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea
22.04 – 30.06.2013

Disobedience Archive (The Republic) is a work in progress reflecting on the various events as they unfolded, in which form and content vary with each venue. In this sense, the exhibition constitutes a sort of atlas of the different contemporary antagonist tactics: from direct action to counter-information, from constituent practices to forms of bio-resistance, which emerged after the end of modernism, inaugurating new methods of being, saying and doing. The archive is divided into nine sections: 1977 The Italian Exit, Protesting Capitalist Globalization, Reclaim the Streets, Bioresistence and Society of Control, Argentina Fabrica Social, Disobedience East, Disobedience University, The Arab Dissent and Gender Politics which joins the other sections for the Castello di Rivoli exhibition. The archive includes materials by 16 beaver, Atelier d’Architecture Autogérée (AAA), Mitra Azar, Gianfranco Baruchello, Petra Bauer, Pauline Boudry, Brigitta Kuster and Renate Lorenz, Bernadette Corporation, Black Audio Film Collective, Ursula Biemann, Collettivo femminista di cinema, Copenhagen Free University, Critical Art Ensemble, Dodo Brothers, Marcelo Expósito, Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica, Rene Gabri and Ayreen Anastas, Grupo de Arte Callejero, Etcétera, Alberto Grifi, Ashley Hunt, Sara Ishaq, Kanal B, Khaled Jarrar, John Jordan and Isabelle Fremeaux, Laboratorio di Comunicazione Militante, Silvia Maglioni and Graeme Thomson, Angela Melitopoulos, Mosireen, Carlos Motta, Non Governamental Control Commission, Wael Noureddine, Margit Czencki/Park Fiction, R.E.P.

Rethinking artistic social interventions

On 29 March, in the frame of Kristof Vrancken’s “2-inch-riot” project, FLACC and Mad-Faculty organize a symposium on the role of the artist in the process of identifying and calling into question matters pertaining to injustice, social inequities and societal structures. This discussion aims to stimulate students into a critical approach to society and the way in which art can – to some extent – change the world, or at least provoke some level of reflection.

Programme: 1:00 – 4:30 p.m.

Speakers:

Maryam Jafri (b. in Pakistan in 1972)

Nikita Kadan (b. 1982 in Kiev, Ukraine)

Roland Patteeuw (b.1945, Rumbeke, Belgium)

______________________________________________________________________________

Since March 21 till July 22 Nikita Kadan is on residence in FLACC workplace for visual artists, Genk, Belgium.

As a workplace for visual artists, FLACC creates the organizational, technical and artistic conditions for the realization of unique artistic projects. To this end every year the organization selects a maximum of eight artists – from Belgium and abroad, young and experienced – to set up a new project whereby they can make unlimited use of our extensive facilities (kiln, carpentry and metal workshops and digital studio) and receive full organizational and artistic support during the preparation and realization of that project. FLACC makes an appropriate budget available for each of these projects.

FLACC also works receptively, i.e. having submitted a project proposal, other artists can work at FLACC. Furthermore, professional artists can rent the workshops and facilities.

FLACC favours projects that focus on the specific geographical, cultural, social or historical situation of Genk/Belgium/the Euregio, as well as on projects which specifically require the use of FLACC’s facilities and which make a clear contribution to the national or international arts scene.

Nikita Kadan

Kyjev Hotel, Bratislava Cinema

Gandy gallery, Bratislava

Opening reception : Wednesday March 13th from 18.00 to 20.00
Exhibition March 14 - May 11, 2013

The show represents several Nikita Kadan’s works from 2010-2013. The main object of artist’s attention in these pieces is the complex of realtions of post-socialist body with post-socialist city. The "Sell out" watercolor drawings represent hybrid structures, combinations of buildings with body organs. Renaissance city planners compared a city to the human body, to it’s parts having certain functions. In the dominant ideology of market capitalism this analogy becomes paradoxically up-to-date, revealing a new dispositif of corporeity. Like a body under the market’s influence that turns into a set of separate organs each having it’s price, the structure of today’s city is not shaped by the functionality of it’s parts, but by it’s commodity potential. The body of city is dissected and offered for sale.

The wall drawing “Kyjev hotel – Bratislava cinema” which gave title to the show represents Bratislava cinema hall from Obolon district of Kiev city were artist spent his childhood – and Kyjev hotel were artist stayed during his first visit to Bratislava city. Same time the drawing continues the narration from “Sell out” series turning these two buildings into living bodies, especially because Kyjev hotel and Bratislava cinema both became unlucky victims of commercialization of city space.

THE DESIRE FOR FREEDOM. Arte in Europa dal 1945.

Palazzo Reale di Milano

14 March - 2 June 2013

The Exhibition “The Desire for Freedom” is a first attempt to look at art since 1945 in a pan-European context without the usual ideological limits which the Cold War initiated. Twelve chapters will explore the artists’ reflections about the ideals of universal human rights, freedom, equality and democracy.
The 100 exhibits come from almost all European countries from Portugal to Russia, from Scotland to Albania and Greece. Thus the exhibition also encompasses art from regions in Europe to which less attention has been paid and thus transcends the usual separation of art from East and West, North and South.

The exhibition is initiated and coordinated by the Museum of German History in Berlin. The main exhibition which will be shown in Milan in the Palazzo Reale, in Tallinn at the Kumu museum and in Cracow at the contemporary art museum. Ancillary exhibitions and conferences will be further organised in : Berlin at the Collegium Hungaricum, Prague at Dox contemporary art centre, Thessaloniki at the Macedonian Contemporary Art museum and Sarajevo National Gallery.

Court Experiment – Hudrada collective

SIZ gallery, Rijeka

Exhibition opening 7th of February 2013. at 8pm*

The exhibition “Court Experiment” first came together in 2010 – the reason for its genesis was a series of legal proceedings launched against members of the Hudrada group on account of their work as political activists. This type of initiative, designed to put pressure on activists with the connivance of the legal system, is symptomatic of the wider phenomenon of the persecution of activists in present-day Ukraine. The stories of trials brought against Yevgenia Belorusets, Andrey Movchan, Sergiy Movchan and Alexander Wolodarsky did not come to an end with the closure of the 2010 exhibition. Alexander Wolodarsky served a prison sentence, while trials against the others carried on, and this type of persecution has become increasingly systematic.

“Court Experiment” attempts to draw public attention both to these concrete cases of legal prosecution and persecution in Ukraine. It also aims to highlight how the country’s legal system, as a government structure within a neocapitalist economy, is an instrument of violence and injustice. The exhibition also reveals the day-to-day realities against which the activists originally protested. These include the destructive expansion of capital into ordinary people’s living space, and the growth of pseudo-necessary state censorship.

The exhibition frames these events within the wider context of the political, cultural, and social circumstances of post-Soviet society. Hudrada’s exhibition in the SIZ gallery consists of authors’ works and draws conclusions concerning the court proceedings, whose subjects became the basis for the “Court Experiment”. A timeline of the court proceedings and related events accompanies the works.

Showing its colours
What makes art

MARTa Herford

2 February – 5 May 2013, Gehry-Galleries

Opening on Friday, 1 February 2013, at 7:30 p.m.

Artists and artist groups

Sam Durant, Claire Fontaine, Thomas Hirschhorn, Korpys / Löffler, Aernout Mik, R.E.P., Wilhelm Sasnal, Peter Sauerer, Tino Sehgal, Nasan Tur, Brigitte Waldach

Twelve international artists and artist groups nail their colours to the mast on socio-political issues against a background of global networks. They do this using the primeval means of art – with poetry, striking pictures and irritating subjectivity.

Who can we or do we even want to believe nowadays? In western societies trust in political decision-makers, the media and the principles of a free market has been seriously damaged. Credibility has become a rare commodity. What can art contribute in a world of power games, profit maximisation and perfect styling? Does it offer worthwhile alternatives, does it have other, more persuasive ways of taking a stand in public?

With “showing your colours” Marta Herford examines these topical questions. A passionate belief in the special power of art is the starting point of the project. On the basis of selected artistic positions, the exhibition examines what art does (with us) and how it can formulate a sincere social commitment going beyond daily events.

Ксенія Гнилицька / Нікіта Кадан / Жанна Кадирова / Володимир Кузнєцов / Лада Наконечна / Леся Хоменко

Виставка «Сонце бідних» включає документацію акцій та відеороботи групи Р.Е.П. 2005-2012 років, а також нові інсталяції, створені спеціально для Дніпропетровська. Значною мірою виставка інспірована ситуацією самого міста, де впадають у вічі розриви між публічним простором, що руйнується, і енергійно-амбітними приватними ініціативами, між тріщинами, що заповнюються сміттям, пустотами спільно-«нічийного» і сяючими «подарунками місту» від процвітаючих громадян - міста, де багатство оспорює у бідності саме право на видимість, перебуваючи при цьому в найближчому сусідстві.

22.01 - 07.03.13

Ksenia Hnylytska/ Nikita Kadan / Zhanna Kadyrova / Volodymyr Kuznetsov / Lada Nakonechna / Lesia Khomenko

Exhibition "Sun of the Poor" includes documentation of R.E.P. group actions and video-works from 2005-2012, as well as new installations, created specifically for Dnipropetrovsk. The exhibition is largely inspired by the situation of the city itself, where the gaps between the public space that is being ruined and energetic and ambitious private initiatives, between the cracks filled with trash, voids of community-derelict and the shining "presents to the city" from its prosperous citizens are very noticeable - the city where prosperity disputes whether poverty is eligible for visibility, while being its immediate neighbor.

Nikita Kadan in "The Desire for Freedom. Art in Europe since 1945"

An exhibition of the German Historical Museum
Curator: Prof. Dr. Monika Flacke

(Berlin, Tallinn, Milan, Cracow, 2012-2013)

17 October 2012 to 10 February 2013, German Historical Museum, Exhibition Hall / Basement floor

The exhibition is an initial attempt to take a look at European art since 1945 without the usual ideological demarcation lines that came about with the Cold War. Twelve chapters will examine the different ways in which artists have dealt with the ideals of Enlightenment and the belief in universal human rights, freedom, equality and democracy. Selected works will be seen within the framework of the project as visual expressions of ideas and concepts that have the potential to change the world. The artworks come from almost all of the European countries – from Portugal to Russia, from Scotland to Albania and Greece. Thus the exhibition also taps into the art of often neglected regions of Europe and in this way overcomes the separation of art into East and West, North and South, which has been a common practice since the Cold War. National background of the artists, chronologies and artistic schools do not play a role.

The exhibition is the centrepiece of an international cooperation, coordinated by the German Historical Museum, in which ten museums, galleries, research and cultural institutes from Germany, Poland, Estonia, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, the Czech Republic, Greek, Schweden and Hungary are participating. Besides the exhibition, which will travel from Berlin to Warsaw, Tallinn and Milan, further individual aspects will be presented in smaller satellite exhibitions as well as in the context of workshops and conferences.

Nikita Kadan's public talk for Time bank project in Stella Art Foundation, Moscow.

New Didactic Museum and the End of the Epoch of Critical Parasitism

Institutional support for critical art is being transformed from a confirmation of its social usefulness into a mark of sin. Relationships between artists and institutions are taking on a parasitic character – with all the attendant doubts experienced by those who are drawn into this process: "Can I bite the hand that feeds me?", "Grab the money and run"... Perhaps it is time to rethink the basis for the work of artistic institutions and the nature of their roots in the life of society?

Назва цієї виставки — термін, запозичений із легендарного роману Джорджа Орвелла. В антиутопії «1984» так називається лексикон тоталітаризму і фашизму, понівечений партійно-бюрократичними оборотами, в якому слова втрачають свій початковий зміст і означають щось протилежне. Ознаки "новоязу" нескладно відшукати в сучасному капіталістичному суспільстві, яке прийшло на зміну тоталітарному минулому пострадянських територій. Мова політичної пропаганди, глобально нав'язуваної через мас-медіа, покликана замаскувати або приховати реальний стан справ. Поняття замінюються прямо протилежними: масові повстання і бунти замовчуються або подаються як сепаратизм, а сплановані вбивства маскуються божевіллям одинаків. Атракційна видовищність сучасної культури та сфери розваг закликає забути про соціальні проблеми, тим самим обслуговуючи сучасну політику.

October Project attempts to relate
to and re-narrate moments from the
recent history of contemporary art
in Ukraine. Within a minimal staged
setting we discuss a few situations
and scenes from this history in a
public performance structured by
means of narration and commentary.
Though these situations – from major
events to personal anecdotes – are
first and foremost singular occurrences,
they contain in a condensed form
questions and conflicts that may be
paradigmatic for the processes of
contemporary art.

Одна из наиболее часто обсуждаемых тем в российском художественном сообществе сегодня – непростые отношения между академическим образованием и живым художественным процессом. Среди тех мнений, что высказываются по этому поводу – и радикальное отрицание необходимости сохранения косных академических догм и ультраконсервативная апологетика традиции, освященной вековым опытом, и неустанные попытки вывести локальную модель «третьего пути». Очевидно, однако, что мучительные сомнения в оправданности практикуемых стратегий образования в сфере искусства вот уже по крайней мере два десятилетия не получают конструктивного разрешения. Тем не менее, отмеченные всеми конфликтами и противоречиями академической реальности, в жизнь выходят все новые авторы – увы, их не так много – нужно иметь определенное мужество, чтобы не спасовать перед материальными трудностями и не свернуть в более прибыльные области дизайна и коммерческого искусства – но и этих немногих достаточно для наглядной демонстрации полемического столкновения «школы» и свободного творчества – тем более драматичного, что носитель школы в данном случае оказывается ее ниспровергателем. Именно таких авторов объединяет проект «CONTRA MATER». Всех их отличает сложный характер восприятия «наследия», травматические следы традиционных образовательных методов, любовь-ненависть к академическим «основам», некоторый надлом, личная уязвленность системой.

Неуверенность в завтрашнем дне, тревожность, нестабильность социального и экономического положения стали экзистенциальной основой современного общества. На наших глазах уничтожаются институты постоянного жилья, пенсии и социальной защиты, а им на смену приходит мир арендованных квартир, срочных договоров и нестандартной занятости, работы по 14 часов в день без перерыва и выходных. Сегодня жизни миллионов людей зависят от колебаний биржевых катировок и решений международных саммитов. «Ненадежная жизнь» не имеет будущего и старости, она спешит быть расстраченной в длящемся день за днем настоящем. И в этом смысле постсоветское общество находится в авангарде ее воспроизводства.

The project Eyes Looking For a Head to Inhabit is related to a historical event: the inauguration of the International Collection of Modern Art of the “a.r.” group at the Municipal Museum of History and Art in Łódź on the 15th February 1931. The basis of this, then locally underestimated initiative, were the ideas of international avant-garde developed by Władysław Strzemiński and Katarzyna Kobro and their fight for social recognition of new art. As a result, 80 years ago a new institution was established – the present-day Muzeum Sztuki in Łodź, the first museum of modern art in Europe that still exists.

The title Eyes Looking For a Head to Inhabit is a metaphor referring to taking over physical and mental spaces by the avant-garde. It speaks of outlining new directions of thinking, about attempts of rooting them in society. It evokes the disagreement with the status quo and the sense of mission to create „new art”. Celebrating the eightieth anniversary of the collection’s inauguration we attempt to enter a dialogue with the selected avant-garde traditions by means of contemporary art.

Группа Р.Э.П. на выставке "Невозможное сообщество"

6 сентября — 6 ноября, 2011

Государственный музей современного искусства Российской Академии художеств, Гоголевский бульвар, 10

Проект "Невозможное сообщество" является результатом многоплановой исследовательской работы, проведенной Московским музеем современного искусства в сотрудничестве с известным российским куратором Виктором Мизиано. Это масштабный международный проект, связанный с одной из ведущих линий в интернациональном искусстве последних десятилетий — «искусством взаимодействия» (relational art). Это направление, во многом опирающееся на традиции исторического авангарда и опыт европейского искусства 1960-х — 1970-х годов, по-прежнему является актуальным и авторитетным на международной арт-сцене.

Участники выставки "Невозможное сообщество" — ведущие представители "relational art". Большинство художников никогда ранее не выставлялись в России. В связи с этим, знакомство широкой аудитории с магистральной линией развития искусства воспринимается музеем как крайне важная и приоритетная задача выставки.

Научно-исследовательская составляющая выставки "Невозможное сообщество" будет отражена в 3х-томном издании, сопровождающем проект. Информационные и исследовательские материалы будут представлены в издании на русском и английском языках.
