Lada Nakonechna (Ukrainian: Лада Наконечна; born 1981 in Dnipro, Soviet Union)[1] is a Ukrainian sculptor, graphic artist, performance artist and researcher. Her works are shown internationally in group and solo exhibitions.
Education
[edit]Nakonechna attended the State Art Academy in Dnipro from 1996 to 2000. Subsequently, she studied at the National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture in Kyiv until 2009.[1] After her studies, Nakonechna stayed in Kyiv, where she also met her husband.[2]
Activities
[edit]In 2005, Nakonechna joined the Ukrainian artist collective R.E.P. (Revolutionary Experimental Space). Initially, a group of twenty artists of different occupations, R.E.P. soon became a small community of six artists who tried out different artistic expressions.[3]
Nakonechna is also a member of Hudrada (Creative Committee), a curatorial group of designers, architects, authors and other artists. Hudrada is active since 2008 and organizes projects, e. g., exhibitions, to create a platform for theoretical exchange.[4]
In 2015, Nakonechna co-founded the Method Fund. [5] This independent cultural organisation is conceived as a self-learning project and is dedicated to finding ways to establish art in specific locations. The focus is on collaborative approaches and supporting young artists in their respective places of residence.[6] As a curator, Nakonechna is partly responsible for the organisation's educational and course offerings.[5]
Nakonechna left Ukraine during the Russian Invasion in 2022. In 2023, she worked as a guest lecturer at the University of Fine Arts (HfbK) in Hamburg.[1]
