Nikita Kadan: “Eight Years”,
A conversation with the artist,
Residence Sorry No Rooms Available,
August 19, 2023, Double room, Hotel Intourist-Zakarpattia

From the author: A story about several works of 2014-2022. Steps towards reality. Art history that holds the keys to the paradoxes of political history. Arrivals that break through the protective layer of reflection. A reflection that breaks through the protective layer of ideology. Ways of thinking about war in art: from “instant making of war history” to “poetics of physical evidence”. Challenges for the materialist
