Exhibition by Nadia Kaabi-Linke “Squeezed in Infinity”
Jul 22, 2023
The National Art Museum of Ukraine hosts a solo exhibition of Nadia Kaabi-Linke, an internationally renowned artist of Ukrainian-Tunisian descent. The exhibition project Squeezed in Infinity is about the feeling of an unreachable infinity, narrowing the actual space of action. It speaks about the lack of orientation within a world without a horizon constructed by idle narratives of eternity and the end of history. Yet it also opens the space for a program of talks, screenings, and exchanges that invites the public to fill the feeling of emptiness with the community's social resonance and shared feelings.
