Spiral Movement - Exhibition Project
Proun Gallery - December 14th 2011 - February 2nd 2012
Yakov Chernikhov. From the series
"Basics of contemporary architecture". 1925-1930
The exhibition shows graphic art, objects, original posters of Russian Avant-garde art and contemporary artists: Olga Rosanova, Vasili Yermilov, Yakov Chernikhov, Piotr Miturich, Vladimir and Georgy Stenberg, Viacheslav Koleichuk, Francisco Infante and others.
"Proun" gallery presents a new exhibition project: "Spiral Motion". Works by Russian Avant-garde and contemporary artists (F.Infante, V.Koleichuk) are united but a single plastic theme: their graphic art and all exhibited objects always contains a spiral, a symbolic expression of eternal motion, an ancient symbol in all cultures injected with a new meaning and form in the XXth century artistic experience.
The practitioners of organic art, Constructivists of the mid-XXth century, direct descendants of the Russian Avant-garde formal search, F.Infante, B.Koleichuk, who have for a short time headed the kinetic art group "Dvizhenie" (Motion), study the possibilities of a spiral, a universal means of dynamic transmission in a static space, on a two-dimensional sheet of paper.
A separate section of the exhibition includes experiments in virtual poetry and creations of Avant-garde composers, stand-alone graphic works in which a spiral serves also as the main constructive principle, further complicating the semantic structure of the creations of poetry and music.
