Each artist involved in the game per month and created a work of art resulting from reflections on the "catch phrase".
the Most important thing in this project — the thinking of the artist, his interpretation of the famous phrase. Each artist submitted an actual story with a beginning, a climax and a denouement. Here and fairy tales with a sad end, and history with irony and deep philosophical thinking, and fine poetry. Different artists, different stories — in this diversity is the beauty of our life!
Asking the authors to write a short text about the work, we tried to open the door to creative cuisine and to play along with the literary theme.
Encoded the sensuality of colour music, words that cannot be read, only feel, — of the work Illegal scion/s combine sophisticated aesthetics of the East and the abstract purity of the West.
ILLEGAL SCION>>S (ILLS)— samoorganizowaniu in 2020, artistic group, consisting of one young artist, behind which a considerable background. Looking for the way, the artist breaks with its own past and not only creates an alter ego, but includes all alternate reality in the same group, fixing their Manifesto and we, the audience, have the opportunity to witness the birth and development of new.
Katran (1970) — artist-исследователь working to create a compound project that includes sculpture, video, sound, text. The artist, whose practice is based on the current findings of modern science and technology.
in our world Today with the accelerated pace of life, in a world ruled by the video thinking, man wants to get everything at once, Sergei plays with the boundaries of art, moving freely from one media to another, and offers an intelligent experiment. Images, signs, symbols are read instantly and by intuition, and expert, thereby revealing the many layers of comprehension. Every project of Sergey a serious mind game with the drop of the absurd. Sergey always poses a interesting problem@now;— for example, the avant-garde idea of materialization of words in a multimedia project "Until the word". A significant part of the objects of this project were purchased in 2017 from the artist for Park Etretat (Les Jardins d’Etretat, France, https://etretatgarden.fr/). They are organically entered in the structure of the Park and are in part under the name of Jardin Zen, which embodies the harmony between man and nature. On the official websitePark on Jardin Zen write: "Here are plants exclusively with white flowering. The viewer gets the feeling of pristine purity in nature. The garden is the sound installation as the idea of revival good. It helps to discover new ways of perceiving the world through art"(https://etretatgarden.fr/jardin-zen/).
a Biologist by first training and artist by vocation, Sergey Katran has long decided for themselves the philosophical question about where to seek the truth, in the facts of science or art.
Mary Y. (1968) and Natalia (1959) ARENDT — representatives of a talented dynasty of sculptors: Ariadne Arendt, Anatoly Grigoriev and Meer Eisenstadt. Intelligent and subtly continuing the tradition of the sisters of Arendt are in constant creative search for the actual to date forms.
Works by Maria Arendt recognized and loved by all, be it a painting or a famous work-вышивки, and every work, read the message to the basic ideas of the avant-garde 1920-30-х years, but always with humor, instantly returning us to the culture of postmodernism.
Natalia Arendt presented for auction sculpture. Generalization of forms, care of detail@now;— all this ties Natalia-скульптора with her famous grandmother, Ariadna Arendt. In the sculptural object, plastic, akin to the architecture, devoid of narrative, there is nothing private, superficial, showy appearance — talent Arendt in the deep comprehension of the image in its wholeness and in particular the ability to plastically translate your inner vision.
Karina BARABANOVA A. (1967) — the author of sceca, plain-hand on the glossy culture, she is seventeen years old and has done illustration for Russian PLAYBOY and other glossy magazines.
Karina created a work in the tradition of classic pop-арта. The artist enters into an ironic dialogue with consumer culture, presenting painted on canvas screenshot of the page is the world's largest e-Commerce platform with a vivid, recognizable image of the popular Emoji. Familiar image, vivid color — simplified but effective markers of a particular concept. Is it simple? Concentrating the General concepts of the psychology of the Internet-культуры, Karina emphasizes the ambiguity of the clash of contexts, the traditional heritage and the modern world.

He studied at the Dagestan pedagogical Institute, then at the Moscow higher art-промышленном school. S. G. Stroganov.
Aladdin combines in his work the postmodern contemporary look with elements of traditional culture of Dagestan, where he was born and raised. The artist's views were formed under the influence of the Russian and European avant-garde early XX century, American artists "new-Йоркской school."
In the unexpected combinations of materials, such as rubber and fragments of handmade carpet, there is a dialogue of two cultures, of two worlds — technically advanced and fast-changing West and the conservative, with the deepest philosophy of the East. The artist addresses such important topics as the challenges of globalization, disappearing tradition and the spiritual quest. Concise, but effective art techniques Aladdin achieves a striking effect: many say the most powerful energy of the works.

He is the master of miniatures. His past workssmall format, typically 20 × 20. Landscapes — gardens or the flowers themselves, written in the style of hyperrealism, — is the background for the conceptual tale. In contrast with the idyllic beauty of the characters, Barbie dolls and pink Teddy bear, repeating the realities of our life with its simple pleasures and harsh уроками.
In the last decade, the artist reinvents his art appeal to lenticular (stereo) press. Miniature paintings increased many times, the space gains depth, and the characters — movement. To many, this technology is familiar as the so-called "shimmering images", it allows us to represent a three-dimensional image in two-dimensional space. Looking at the picture from different angles, the viewer becomes a kind of partner, controlling the speed and sequence of movement. Actualizing their past works, Alexander not only offers brand new one on the form and substance of the work@now;—, the artist identifies and examines critical issues in art conservation in the digital age.
Marina A. KASTALSKY (1948) studied at Art school, where he taught Tabenkin and Roginsky. Them as his first teachers, Marina remembers and appreciates, especially important for the artist-графика lessons Roginsky. He graduated from Polygraphic Institute, he worked in the workshops of the Union of artists: Chelyuskinskaya, Kolomenskoe, Moscow.
For the project "Metaphor", the artist presented lithographs from the series "Monument to Tsvetaeva", made in 1986.
1986 — significant year for Marina, she calls this period the "romantic realism": "...in such a happiness and fullness I lived and painted what he loved: Work with Nature".
Kastalsky always works with series, especially in graphics. Be special for her series of works dedicated to poets: Akhmatova, Brodsky, Mandelstam, Derzhavin, Pushkin and one of the most beloved poets of the Castalian — Tsvetaeva. Marina forms the statement, enclosing it in a symbol. One of the characters in the graphic series "a Monument to Tsvetaeva" is the book, the personification of the path of destiny and aspirations of the poet.
the Exact composition, structure, a sense of weight and dynamism of the combination of fine and coarse hatch — graphic sheets 1980-х years are in Museum collections.
In the early 1990-х experience with graphics transformed. Marina found their unique way, creating works made of paper pulp with the addition of various materials and applying in-depth picture. In the Russian Museum of works of this period are called "monumental graphics."
Gerasim KUZNETSOV (1961) — artist and curator. A graduate of the famous British women (British higher school of art and design), Gerasim Kuznetsov has a large number of exhibitions, among which it is worth noting curatorial projects are "the Sons of Great bear" (2011), "solo voyage" (2012), "Leninist" (2013), "Volume one. The sky" (2015), "snowflake" (2016) and many others.Artist-концептуалист, Gerasim Kuznetsov considers a particular phenomenon from different points of view, or an event unfolds in time. Swapping the subject, the image or the explanatory text, the artist presents multiple levels of meaning, directing the audience to the key issue that enables to find their own answers. A certain emotional detachment works appeals to an intellectual understanding of events, inclusion in the exhibition or the subject fragments of television news or catchy headlines only reflects the helplessness of such emotions to analyze the situation.
Topics of interest to the artist's extraordinarily diverse: social, political, personal and universal. Wading through the buzz of the emotions, lies in the name of and half-truths, Kuznetsov breaks "incomprehensible" whole out of the pieces to create a real.
In essence, each work of Gerasim — is a separate project, and each project is a mosaic of pictures and objects developing in a complete work.
Egor Alexandrovich PLOTNIKOV (1980) he studied at the Vyatka art school named. A. A. Rylova (1995-2000) and then in the Moscow state academic art Institute named after V. I. Surikov in the Studio of Pavel Nikonov — artist, whose name is related to the update of the pictorial language in the 1960-х, marked the beginning of the "severe style".
In his work Egor explores the theme of a real landscape as a social landscape. Being the successor of traditions of Russian landscape painting, but relevant, at a new stage of its development, Yegor offers in the form of a diptych, where there is a "classical" landscape and sculpture, which exists in two dimensions: it is drawn into the picture space as a character and at the same time is part of the real world of the viewer.
Depicted the landscapes are on the verge of human habitation and wildlife, the artist rarely paints it from nature, Egor brought to the canvas of memories, impressions, flashed into the car window pictures. Maybe that's why they look so familiar, so familiar? Geometric white emptiness in the landscape represent the image of our memory, which preserves only a fragment of the whole, everything else@is now;— домысливание.
For Egor Plotnikov, the main character, the viewer. Drawing the beholder into the depths of the scenic landscapes, the artist poses the question: "is today the direct contact of the viewer with the art and the person with the real space?".
@now;Anna RUSSOW (1974) — the artist began his career in contemporary art with a major international festival "Artkliazma" in 2004, where she invited Vladimir Dubossarsky.

Bringing social and psychological themes to the fore, Anna at the same time invests the idea in the images of popular, always served with humor. Step by step, project by project Anna inhabits a fictional metropolis characters — alone, meditating, sometimes helpless, but always touching and always loved by the author.
Sergey SHUTOV (1955) — one of the most prominent artists of the avant-garde. In the late 1980-х@now;— 1990-х years Shutov became a pioneer video-арта, multimedia, club culture and DJ (in the legendary club "Ptyuch"). In 1986 he organized the first solo exhibition "in memoriam Daniil Kharms" in the Mayakovsky Museum. The representative of the "new wave", Sergei Shutov took part in the famous 17-й Youth exhibition. It is appropriate to recall the decoration of the film "AssA" where clowns acted not only as an artist but also as the executor of one of roles.

Acid psychedelic images of the cosmos combined with the visual tenets of avant-garde artists 1910-20-х years cyberpunk futurism — with academic studies, and a subtle metaphor coexists with a stubborn science, and stitched strong thread of philosophy — own way artist is unique and recognizable.
