VITALY PATSYUKOV ABOUT THE NEW PROJECT OF ALEX GONCHARENKO:
(
Vitaly Patsyukov – Head of Artistic and Interdisciplinary Programs Department National Center for Contemporary Arts Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, art historian, curator, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of arts)
Project consists of two series (“Techno-zone” and “Androids”) that examine structure and models of new techno-reality. The imagery is defined by a system of artistic organisms (“personas”) – artifacts as individuals. Compositions presented in these series follow the tradition of Russian constructivism and ideas El Lissitzky’s pangeometry. They reveal a special dialogue between contemporary postmodernists forms and avant-garde canon of the first decades of 20 th century.
Project focuses not only on the relations between classic radical culture and intellectual imagery of contemporary geometric artistic systems, but also on the avant-garde traditions’ mutation phenomenon, i.e. on contemporary artistic comprehension of avant-garde vision primal scheme. Series “Techno-zone” and “Androids” discover a world of ludic combinatorics comprised of figurative Malevich’s and Lissitzky’s elements, transcoded in deconstructive technologies and forms of computer strategies. Dramatic composition of my project is built upon a deeply personal gesture.
