Russian kinetism

The State Hermitage Museum closed the exhibition “Alberto Byazi. Kinetic and computer art in Italy and Russia ". Its main advantage was the opportunity to once again assess the merits of not so much Italian as Russian creativity. The works of famous Italians - V.Vazareli, A.Byazi, H. Demarko, - who laid the foundations of modern industrial design, echoed the objects of Russian masters, striking the phenomenality of spatial thinking.
Among the works, Boris Stuchebryukov’s objects were shown: the kinetic sculpture “Galatea” 1994, “Transformobile” 1987 and Mobiler, which were included in the anthology of twentieth-century art.

ArchStack on-line

The main design event of this summer was the Festival ArkhStoyanie, which opened its history on the banks of the River Ugra. 17 participants from among the representatives of the architectural establishment and 6 novice architects began to transform the reserve into an artistic colony. The interactive nature of objects that assumed “archiving” and riding on them, “archiving” on them, as well as their “archdeeding” (and other types of participation in creative work) contributed to the transformation of the territory into a public forum. Having initiated the organization of the festival, V. and A. Shchetinin, V. Kopeiko, N. Polissky and other “discoverers” and regulars of the village of Nikola-Lenivets, with the support of the administration of the Kaluga region, prevented the total building of the rarely protected landscape.
