“The Fire and the Ashes” is a solo exhibition by a contemporary Ukrainian artist and activist 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.
