Studio Visit: Nadežda Kirćanski

Nadežda Kirćanski’s installation nista spec 1.0 (nothing much 1.0), transforms a gallery space into the cold and alienating waiting room of a hospital ward. The anxiety of perpetual waiting is triggered by the smell of iodine, the sterile color of mint, and the circular arrangement of the chairs which face away from each other in a ring. On the walls are light projects of a pharmacy counter and perpetually closed doors which lead into hospital rooms.

The title of the piece is “nothing much,” the typical response to the question “what’s up?”—a response which is repeated as a meaningless mantra of youthful conversation, but always conceals a more complicated reality beneath it. Kirćanski hopes to uncover this reality, in which Serbia’s youth are increasingly trapped between unreal societal expectations generated by neoliberal individualism, and the failures of public safety nets that land them in perpetual waiting rooms. 

She explains that during gallery tours, a number of visitors are always moved to tears. “Everyone has a waiting room experience,” she says, “there is a lot of trauma in this space.” While the installation might look like “nothing special” or “not much,” its cold aesthetic reveals an extreme vulnerability brought about by cracks in the system.
