Working with various media, including installation, sculpture, painting and collage, his practice focuses on social engagement and activism. His artistic production is permeated by the turbulent social context of Ukraine, reflecting on his own position within this social and political environment. Kadan considers the role of the artist not as a contemplative aesthete, but as an initiator of social transformations \u0026mdash; a perspective he often utilises to rethink the country\u0026rsquo;s past. In recent years, he has begun using images of Ukrainian modernist architecture, which is relatively unknown to the outside world. Kadan takes a responsibility for the marginal stories that question the very notion of the \u0026lsquo;centre\u0026rsquo;, stating that where there is a centre and a periphery, the periphery becomes a place where human life has little value and where cultural heritage is often reduced to ashes or ruin. Kadan thus feels responsible for preserving the memories and experiences of these marginal zones.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nIn 2015, M HKA acquired Kadan\u0026rsquo;s installation \u003cem\u003eThe Possessed Can Witness in the Court\u003c/em\u003e. Several further works have since been acquired, and his solo exhibition \u003cem\u003eThe Possessed Can Witness in the Court \u003c/em\u003ewas held at M HKA in 2018. M HKA also received an important installation as a donation from a Flemish private collector. Most recently, Kadan\u0026rsquo;s works were key inclusions in \u003cem\u003eImagine Ukraine\u003c/em\u003e, co-organised by M HKA and the Pinchuk Art Centre, that was held simultaneously at M HKA, Bozar and the European Parliament.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","name":"Museum in beweging - Nikita Kadan","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNikita Kadan\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nNikita Kadan is een belangrijk figuur binnen de nieuwe generatie Oekra\u0026iuml;ense kunstenaars. Hij werkt in verschillende media, waaronder installatie, beeldhouwkunst, schilderkunst en collage. In zijn praktijk stelt Kadan sociaal engagement en activisme centraal. Met een artistiek oeuvre doordrongen van de turbulente context in Oekra\u0026iuml;ne, reflecteert hij op zijn eigen positie binnen deze sociale en politieke omgeving. Kadan beschouwt de rol van de kunstenaar niet als die van beschouwende estheet, maar als die van initiator van sociale transformaties \u0026ndash; een benadering die hij inzet om het verleden van zijn land te heroverwegen. Meer recent gebruikt hij beelden van Oekra\u0026iuml;ense modernistische architectuur, die relatief onbekend is bij de buitenwereld. Zo engageert Kadan zich voor kleine, onbelangrijke verhalen die het begrip \u0026lsquo;centrum\u0026rsquo; in vraag stellen, door te stellen dat waar er sprake is van centrum en periferie, de periferie een plaats wordt waar het menselijk leven nog weinig waarde heeft en het culturele erfgoed vaak herleid wordt tot ru\u0026iuml;nes of puin. Kadan voelt zich dan ook verantwoordelijk voor het bewaren van de herinneringen en ervaringen uit die plekken in de marge.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nIn 2015 verwierf het M HKA Kadans installatie \u003cem\u003eThe Possessed Can Witness in the Court\u003c/em\u003e.

Travaillant avec diff\u0026eacute;rents m\u0026eacute;dias, dont l\u0026rsquo;installation, la sculpture, la peinture et le collage, sa pratique s\u0026rsquo;articule autour de l\u0026rsquo;engagement social et l\u0026rsquo;activisme. Sa production artistique est impr\u0026eacute;gn\u0026eacute;e du contexte social turbulent de l\u0026rsquo;Ukraine et refl\u0026egrave;te sa propre position dans cet environnement social et politique. Kadan consid\u0026egrave;re le r\u0026ocirc;le de l\u0026rsquo;artiste non pas comme celui d\u0026rsquo;un esth\u0026egrave;te contemplatif, mais d\u0026rsquo;un initiateur de transformations sociales \u0026ndash; une direction qu\u0026rsquo;il utilise souvent pour repenser le pass\u0026eacute; du pays.
