In the summer of 2019, DiDi Gallery will temporarily become an experimental platform for contemporary young authors. Instead of the classic summer exhibition of collection art, a series of exhibitions by contemporary artists will be shown, which presents a personal project. The season starts on May 28 with the exhibition by Mariam Duduchava, a modern Moscow artist and performer. The author's project "ORGANIC ART" is a study on the border of "science art" and "chemistry art", where the artist acts as an experimental chemist.
Each of M. Duduchava's abstract works is a field of interaction of 4 groups of elements that seem incompatible in nature:
Alpha
All sorts of colors and pigments.
Beta
Household chemical and refined products (motor oils, polyethylene, plastics).
Gamma
Food products, liquids of organic character and cosmetics.
Delta
Ash and dry aromatic substances.
According to this author's classification, the artist studies the behavior of elements from different groups. In each work, the formation of new compounds occurs - a range of non-standard materials opens up a wide field for creative research.
At a philosophical level, the concept of M. Duduchava goes far beyond the limits of applied art. Reflecting on the topic of consumer society and the problems of world ecology, the artist calls upon us to draw attention to the complexity of the connections that a person creates in everyday life. Everything created and consumed sooner or later forms a new connection that will be built into the global world process. And only time can answer the question: what awaits us ahead?
