The concept of the project
Think globally, act locally. R. Vanegeym founder psychogeography crazy Parisian visionary Ivan Shcheglov believe that it is possible to build a house where it will be impossible not to fall in love. Let these homes will exist only in our imagination, it is enough to start. "All we are looking for server-West Passage - the magic door to other worlds" - he said. After decades of passionate insight Shcheglova, ended his life in a madhouse, romantic look of a madman guesses about the true structure of the world. Perhaps, from the beginning so it was. But this does not negate the magical power of these conjectures. Art Ustina Yakovleva like a revelation child living in the digital temple. "Alice meets Saul Levitt," - said the French had. Obsessive repetitive dash folded into an imaginary landscape. The artist invites the viewer to play associations. It seems that we see on the canvas shooting from Google's melting ice of Antarctica. Or it may be a dry riverbed. Or clouds. Or a coded message in the binary system of coordinates. 24000 dashes width of 5mm. The cold language of conceptualism is tamed little girl to show the dreams of her past life. "My mother was born in Ust-Tsilma. This means estuary Tsylmy. It is in the north, "Ustin -rasskazyvaet. With a length of 12 meters experiences formatted in binary opposition of black and white, long and short, empty and full. Digital automatic writing. Under modern asphalt noise Inner Mongolia, but to feel it necessary to learn to see the cracks traces of past lives. Heiress once displaced to the periphery of the modernist art of ornamental painting Yakovlev goes beyond its predecessors from the '70s martial. The rhetoric of the feminist struggle is transformed more into a research interest in the nature of the visual image and the laws on which it is formed today. If the romantic spirit of Leviticus manifested in attempts to find systemic failures in hyperstructured space, Yakovlev goes in the opposite direction. She's trying to structure the elusive psychic experiences, whether it is memories of the relationship of man and space, or the net flow of emotions. So, on her canvases is sometimes confined to the calculation of the infinite pulse of life, coldness expressive means with expressive bodily rhythms, personal story and questioning about the essence of art.
