Receptualism
is a new direction in the modern art, actual presently.
Receptualism
is style use of all possible languages and the directions of this or that art
form in one work. It is a certain new level of a postmodernism at which,
however, as well as always, the main thing is the talent of the artist.
Receptualism
allows to use realism and abstractly is a that art form in which there are no
other last “isms” and perfectly lives with the modern person, design and
architecture…
Receptualism
imitates nothing and nothing reflects: art is created from art.
Here
is some positions of manifesto:
Cancel
all! - Receptualism - art of the Third millennium.
Receptualism
- art of the second reflection: most from - creativity and - at the same time -
most in - interpretation (long live two-faced Janus).
Receptualism
consists of three parts: creation of the work, demonstration of a cultural
product and demonstration of demonstration - the second reflection of creative process
of the artist-receptualist.
A
Receptualist aims the thinking and activity on art process, instead of a object
of art (which can be zero as "A black square" Malevich).
Hierarchy
of art process enter: 1) personal (or group) creation and demonstration of a
object of art; 2) author's reflection and text maintenance of a object of art;
3) author's and tracking of movement of a object of art in world cultural and
historical process.
Receptualism
approves fundamental laws of the nonlinear theory of art:
development
of art is immutable;
development
of art is irreversible;
art,
as God, is immortal;
immortality
is found in a sign.
Founders
of the concept of a receptualism: academician Slava Len, writer Yuriy
Kuvaldin, artist Alexander Trifonov.
