Lada Nakonechna

Lada Nakonechna is an artist and researcher who has been active in various
artistic, curatorial and editorial groups (associations) in Ukraine since 2005
.
In her artistic practice, Nakonechna consistently questions her position as an artist
and researcher. The aim of this problematization is to identify viewpoints that
are established through artistic methods and reproduced by the art education system
. Through institutional critique approaches, she examines the connection between art and the
practices of power production.
Lada Nakonechna's most recent works are based on artistic and
archival material on the art of Socialist Realism, understood as a "method",
and deal with its representation and perception today.
In researching the artistic paradigms of Modernism and Socialist
Realism practiced in the Ukrainian Academy of Arts during the 20th century
, she intends to take a closer look at their contradictions and particular manifestations
and to question their homogeneous representation in global art history
.

Lada Nakonechna has presented her work in numerous exhibitions, including solo exhibitions at
the National Art Museum of Ukraine and
group exhibitions at the Albertinum-Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden,
Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw,
the Malmö Art Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb.
