Concept
Communication today is the primary gateway into the sphere of public interest, and in the pursuit of "fame," the deeper foundations of an artist's life and work have long been forgotten. This problem has begun to lodge itself so deeply in the mind that it has become necessary to analyze the process itself — and the best analysis is a collision of things and concepts that might otherwise never meet.
In this connection, we would like to propose the theme of the interaction of languages — languages not only in the linguistic sense, but languages of art, at whose intersection it may become possible to encounter the deepest aspects of existence.
In the project " ... " – no translations, we are interested in the linguistics of art, in certain difficulties of translating from one language into another, in their intersections and parallels — and also in the everyday heroism of their creators. In other words:
"The unison sounding of the languages of art was once overcome by the avant-garde, which called into question the centuries-old apologia for synthesis and established, as a new form of interaction, the poetics of dialogue — the co-being of a multitude of creative intuitions. Since then, interspecific separation has only intensified, and speech norms have come to unite an ever narrower circle of names. Contemporary cultural space is the extreme point of this isolation: the number of languages within it is equal to the number of authors. The measure of success has become an individual lexicon that refutes all other modes of utterance. And the brighter this lexicon, the greater the semantic density carried by the authorial gesture, the harder the path toward understanding it becomes. Strategies of autonomy compel the artist into a constant struggle — to erect obstacles and then overcome them — that very everyday heroism on the border between hermeticism and communication.
Orienting the viewer within this territory has ceased to be a matter of sensory play, turning instead into an overwhelming intellectual puzzle that generates random numbers. The summation of chaotic signals does not yield a whole; amid the succession of texts, the very sense of the space of art is lost. Deciphering these codes becomes possible only through the deliberate collision of forms, genres, objects, and concepts that exist 'on different planes' — through the destruction of their sterile separateness by forcing them into intersection. Removing guild boundaries and modeling a situation of dialogue within the community, the project reconstructs a broad cultural field, drawing both artist and viewer into its bounds and mapping out paths for their communication. Within this dissonant juxtaposition — this many-voiced forum of messages — the keys crystallize for grasping and guessing at private codes through their polyphonic unity."
