The exhibition was part of a series of exhibition by 'Saturation Point', UK,
't e k s a s', Denmark and the 'divisible', USA.
The Exposition #4 within the Big Circle project will continue an art-archaeological expedition to the horizon of common human denominators laying beyond historical, cultural and linguistic codes. Projects from the UK (Saturation Point), Denmark (t e k s a s) and the USA (divisible) invite an audience for intercultural communication that would not require translation. The exhibitions will show how from form, paint and line the “new grammar of pictorial space” is being established, based not on conventional signs but patterns of perception.
Selected work for this exhibition was the ‘kite series’, a play on the idea of Constructivist art and its affinity with aviation. With this work I reanimated individual paintings by Kazimir Malevich, flying them in kite form. The kites are the same size as Malevich’s original paintings.
The M17 Contemporary Art Center (M17 CAC) is a cultural institution that functions as an educational and research platform, an exhibition venue for Ukrainian and foreign contemporary art.
M17 cooperates with the National Union of Artists of Ukraine and is one of the largest certain non-governmental exhibition spaces in the Kyiv.
