On Friday The Ukrainian National Museum of Art is hosting a talk with Nikolai Ridnyi as part of the Artist Talking project. Among possible themes for discussion are the role and significance of young artists for Ukraine’s image, the importance of the artist-curator figure, who not only produces art but plays the role of manager, theoretician and critic for his own work. In other words – the topics addressed will be of great signifcance.
