Cyclic character of nature of the contemporary art is manifested primarily in looking round that is why sometimes the nostalgia for the past is the impetus for positive development in future. Currently modern loses to past - THEY are wrapped around romance and remain MAJESTIC AND ETERNAL, and WE astonish by MISUNDERSTANDING and ABUSE.
Windows with the same name exhibition in the gallery Iconart demonstrate historical and symbolic link with the past. And the same frames and everything that is in them - those are saved remains, some value categories that we have lost or are losing now. Expression values - this is our action when no one sees uncovers our essential deformation filled with INDIFFERENCE.
The Windows project exhibits dismantled window frames of old Lviv buildings designed in the form of pictures. There are memorial sculpture photos put under glass of turnover. For enhanced expression they are strengthened by painted frames.
The idea of this presentation is historically justified - in the XIX century, with the emergence of affordable glass the similar method was used for design of religious images. Graphic printings put under glass and frame them, and for a diversity the glass was ornamentalized from turnover and was partially colored. Thus there were created inexpensive reproduced icons designed for homes.
The Windows project is a nostalgia for the past, and at the same time - a view into the future ... It is a picky contemporary look that hopes to see through ancient glass a perspective of own history...
