This is some sort of artists’ game in a caravan of artifacts, which begins from Olegovskaya Street and goes to the RA Gallery. Olegovskaya Street is the liberal place, cultural oasis in the center of urban city. Nowadays the occupation layer of this place is forgotten and is eaten up by new modern buildings. Mount Schekavitsa absorbed Pagan, Muslim and Christian past. It stands in the heart of Podil. Age-old cultural layers create local multicultural aura and provoke self-local exotic gestures.
“Freedom of esthetic will is unique, but one of the many kinds of expressions presenting person. It is admitted the equality of all individual tastes, and that is why today everything is acceptable in the arts like in a modern democracy.” (Boris Grois)
On the one hand, flow of information is increased and provides diversity, but on the other hand, it is difficult to hold, do not slip, making the choice to resolve the internal question: what and how much disturbing you. Sometimes you couldn’t explain why do you like this, not the other. Random legalization of non-random selection stems from the unlimited range from primitive art to computer files. Sometimes it seems not important what we represent (show) on the canvases or video. The most interesting and important is what it happened to the artist earlier, before fixation. Such reports encouraging the artist to legitimize their memorable gestures among others, to legalize the following.
The caravan did arrive and filed: please love and complain.
