In this new project, the artist explores the theme of clothing, which becomes an eloquent text. While the body—an empty sign—remains a blank slate.
Artem offers his own interpretation of Russian cosmism, adding representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations to the mundane characters. The sculpture in the exhibition is accompanied by paintings that reference the colorful patterns of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. The artist's paintings conceal something extremely material—a Louis Vuitton jacket. Material, but no less magical.
