On Saturday, September 15, at 15:00 the PinchukArtCentre will host Saturday Talk devoted to institutional exchange practice, such as Transfer exchange programme.
Transfer is an exchange programme promoting and supporting new generation of Ukrainian artists abroad and to offering a dynamic view on young Polish art in Ukraine. This is a common project of the PinchukArtCentre and the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (Warsaw, Poland).
Within the framework of the Transfer project presented at the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle the following Ukrainian artists, nominees for the PinchukArtCentre Prize in 2009 and 2011, have presented their two-week individual exhibitions at the CCA this summer: Nikita Kadan, Zhanna Kadyrova, Volodymyr Kuznetsov, Lada Nakonechna and Mykola Rydnyi. Curator of the project is Marianna Dobkowska.
Mykyta Kadan, artist, winner of the Main Prize of the PinchukArtCentre 2011, together with Maria Lanko, participant of the PinchukArtCentre’s Curatorial Platform will talk about his involvement in the project, and will share his thoughts about the exhibitions of Polish artists Monika Zawadzki, Agnieszka Poland and Konrad Smolenski presented earlier in the PinchukArtCentre within the Transfer project.
The event will take place at 15:00 on the 5th floor in PAC-UA space.
Mykyta Kadan combines intellectual artistic reflection with continuous social action, using his artistic practice to act in the sociopolitical discussions in Ukraine. With a strong historical awareness, Kadan focuses his research on the urban transition of Kiev as a city in continuous transformation losing its historical roots and public spaces to commercialism. He works mostly in painting and sculpture, using abstraction and modelling as artistic strategies that reference the Russian avant-garde movements around the turn of the 20th century.
Registered event attendees will have priority entry to the art centre without queuing.
