Marc Quinn The Big Wheel Keeps on Turning

Автор: -
This is his first personal exhibition in Russia.

"The Big Wheel Keeps on Turning is the story of the planet and everything that lives on it. It is our lives in time. Like spiral of a shell, the world is in constant revolution"        
Marc Quinn

This exhibition leaves very optimistic, delightful impression. I liked it a lot especially because I am interested in the theme of life and "story of the planet". An eye can show the world of the single person which is as deep, unbelievable and infinite as the world around us. I think the author paints eyes as maps of the world, representing connection between the world and the person. In his work "The Eye of History" the visitor can see how the The whole history projects as a map on the eye of the person. In "Where the Worlds meet the Mind "  it is possible to see a retina of an eye where not only philosophically the worlds meet the mind, but also phisically: the yellow circle (optic nerve) actually recieves visual information. 
There were also incredibly vivid and full of life  paintings of  orchids and sculptures, showing the beuty and peculiarities of the world. And each of them makes people think about what this world is like and how past, present and future connected in one spiral curve like a shell, standing in the middle of the hall in Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow, where the exhibition is held.

    I was rather frightened then optimistic after this exhibition. I also got this weird info. There's a head in aquarium and when visitors tryed to look closer, the watching woman asked to step back. She said "It must be being damaged of the temperature somehow, cause the head has gone stained and spotty, it wasn't like that in the beginning". ouch.

Лекция Александра Уварова «Экодизайн. Закономерности зеленого проектирования» состоялась в воскресение 9 октября на территории школы «Мосты». Александр Уваров - Кандидат искусствоведения, член Московского союза художников, преподаватель кафедры «промышленный дизайн» МГХПА им. С.Г. Строганова, куратор некоммерческого проекта об экологии и дизайне «Мы». Как я уже говорила, лекция состоялась в школе «Мосты», школа позиционирует свою деятельность как «новую форму интеллектуального активного отдыха». Как сообщали вывески в школе, заняться у них можно чем угодно, от изучения иврита и греческого до вышивки, гончарного дела и буддизма. В целом концепт и направленность школы мне понравились, появление таких мест говорит о готовности общества учиться, развиваться разносторонне и проводить время с пользой. ( http://mostschool.ru/ ) Зачем идти на лекцию об экодизайне? Лично меня всегда привлекали натуральные формы, разумное и рациональное использование материалов, нетоксичные, долговечные, простые

 "Did Soviet Russia have any design?" you might be wondering :) After visiting the exibition held at Moscow Manege I would say: "Yes! Design did exist in Soviet Union." The exibits were showing various aspects of social everyday life. The first products I got to see were the radio sets. These were very cool to me, because I couldn't think of how far distance they could reach.(the scale was saying: St Petersburg, Vladivostok, Berlin, Praga, Paris & so on) Than I've been told that the radio wavelength of those times was mainly huge. And now they're not needed because of the internet, now radio waves are ultra-short. This huge radio set was called "Rigonda". It was constructed by very talented Latvian designer Adolf Irbite in 1967.  Radiola "Riga 104" from the back side. It was made of cardboard. The start of production 1973, Latvia. Record player "Volga", 1957. Radio set "Zvezda-54
