Mykola Ridnyj (born 1985)
Mykola Ridnyi creates installations, objects and video works, and is a member of the SOSka art collective (formed in 2005), whose work focuses on socio-political issues. The gallery/laboratory run by the collective has become, according to Ridnyi, “a base for artists to develop, replacing non-existent institutions, and serving as a communications and exhibition hub”. Ridnyi was a finalist for the Kyiv Pinchuk Art Centre’s Future Generation Art Prize in 2009 (with the SOSka collective) and 2011 (on his own).
