The National Art Museum of Ukraine presents an exhibition project by contemporary artist Nikita Kadan. The show brings together around fifteen new works created after 2022 and represents a sustained artistic inquiry focused on the theme of art’s historical optics. Kadan’s gaze is directed at modernity in a broad sense and the controversial nature of how it is narrated through art history—an account that is fragmented and revised. The artist consistently explores the historiography of art, exposing politically motivated gaps in its narrative.
