PROJECT
OF THE CENTURY. ART ACTION. V. TSESLER, S. VOICHENKO
THE XX CENTURY IS BEHIND. ON THE ONE HAND IT HAS BEEN THE CENTURY OF THE
UTMOST REVEALING OF THE PARADOXES OF HUMAN HISTORY, ON THE OTHER OF NEVER
BEFORE HEARD WARS AND DESTRUCTION. THE CENTURY OF INFORMATION BOOM,
VIOLATION OF ANY CANNONS AND TABOOS. IT HAS STARTED THE COSMIC ERA
AND BROUGHT REAL GANDER
OF VANISHING FOR THE WHOLE LIFE ON THE PLANET. IT HAS CALLED IN
QUESTION THE VALUE OF CULTURE AND BROADENED IT BOUNDARIES THUS HAVING GIVEN
BIRTH TO A GREAT VARIETY OF NEW MOVEMENTS AND NAMES. THE PRESENT
PROJECT IS THE RESULT OF CREATIVE COMPREHENSION AND EVALUATION OF THE
EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE WORLD OF ART OF THE PAST CENTURY. THE TWELVE
SCULPTURAL PORTRAITS IMAGES DEPICT THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF THE XXTH CENTURY
WHO EXPRESSED AND TO SOME EXTENT SHAPED CONSCIOUSNESS, TASTE AND DESTINY OF
MILLIONS OF THEIR CONTEMPORARIES. FOR COMING GENERATIONS THEY WILL REVEAL
IN THEIR UNEXPECTED FACETS THUS AWAKENING NEW CREATIVE URGE. PRINCIPAL
SUBJECTIVITY OF THE CHOICE OF PERSONALITIES IS THE AUTHORS RIGHT. THE
PRIJECT HAS BEEN MEDELED AS A SYSTEM OF SELF_SUFFICING ELEMENTS EQUAL
BOTH IN RIGHTS AND SIZE, UNITED BY THE COMMON MODULUS (IN THE SHAPE
OF AN EGG 210X300MM) AND SPATIAL ORIENTATION THE MODIFICATION OF THE
MODULUS IN EACH PORTRAIT PUTS AN ACCENT ON THE KEY IDEA OF THE GIVEN PERSON
EGG IS NOT ONLY ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT NATURAL FORMS, BUT ALSO A SYMBOL OF
LIFE, BIRTH, RENEWAL, AN ESOTERIC AND MYTHO-POETICAL IMAGE OF THE UNIVERSE,
IT IS A CONTAINER OF CONCENTRATED ENERGY SEALED UNTIL THE TIMES OF FUTURE
DISCOVERIES. PROJECT OF THE CENTURY IS SIMUL TANEOUSLY A FAREWELL,
GRATITUDE AND MESSAGE (IN THE SEMANTICAL, AS WELL AS IN THE LITERARY
"POST" MEANING) TO THE XXIST CENTURY THE IDEA OF MOVING THROUGH
TIME IS EXPRESSED BY THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE POSTAL CEREMONY WHICH CAN DEFINE
THE PROJECT AS MAIL-ART NOT ONLY IN CONTENT BUT IN FORM AS WELL. THE SIZE
OF EACH OF THE OBJECTS IS THE SAME AS THAT OF A STANDARD SHEET OF POST
PAPER A4, AND ALSO OF A DINOSAUR`S EGG AND A HUMAN FOETUS IN UTERO. THE
PARAMETERS WERE FOUND BY INTUITION. COINCIDENCES ASCERTAINED POST FACTUM.
THE CREATING OF MOST OF THE OBJECTS REQUIRED SEARCH FOR NEW TECHNOLOGICAL
INVENTIONS, BESIDES SEMANTIC ADEQUACY, THE USE OF HIGH TECH STANDS FOR AN
ADDITIONAL SIGN OF THE TIME, MARK OF THE CENTURY, ADDRESS OF THE SENDERS.
