Kyiv-based artist Nikita Kadan and Natalia Sielewicz, chief curator of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, have been selected to curate the 16th Baltic Triennial, the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC) Vilnius has announced.
The pair proposed a concept for the upcoming edition based on grief and resurrection.
‘We reflect on what it means to live after an event that breaks the continuity of meaning – when experience, language, and the world itself are altered at their foundations,’ they said in a statement.
‘We propose an exhibition that approaches despair and mourning not as pathologies, but as spaces of careful listening. Inhabiting despair thus becomes a form of fidelity: an attunement to the faint echoes of what might yet return, to the resonance of hope that lingers beneath lament, and to the quiet call of what has withdrawn – awaiting those who can still hear it.’
The prologue to the 16th Baltic Triennial will take place in mid-2026.
