Kunsthalle – general report about the state of the institution

The exhibition presents a large-screen six-channel projection set in a site-specific hexagonal ground plan of the central exhibition hall of the Dom umenia 

in which eighteen protagonists from the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak republic, artists and art theoreticians hold a discussion. On the facade of the building there is an inscription KUNSTHALLE made of large polystyrene letters, which gives the impression of the “desired” institution.

Kunsthalle – general report about the state of the institution
The lecture by the internationally known Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan at the Academy of Fine Arts was introduced and accompanied by a debate with the Russianist and semiotician Tomáš Glanc. Kadan lives and works in Kiev. He works with various media, including installation, sculpture, painting and collage.
This lecture examines the development of mass Palestinian displacement as a weapon of war, a tool of state-building, and a tool for enforcement of particular visions of imperial internationalism. It traces how Palestine became the site for the development of a specific modern refugee regime focused on decolonial containment, a process that continues to the present day.
