"You said your words as if you do not recognize the shadows, as well as evil. Do not be you so kind as to reflect on the question: what would make your good, if there were no evil, and how the earth would look like if shadows disappeared from it, "Mikhail Bulgakov" The Master and Margarita "?.
The modern world - a world of constant movement, exchange of information, the most efficient use. The modern world has long been characterized by the terms "restriction of time" and "space narrowing", seeks to maximize the "fullness" itself, a world where the concept of "giperinformativnost" became the everyday and banal, and the man became a ubiquitous substance smeared on the edge of existence. Is there a place "emptiness" in the modern world, where the human mind creates new worlds, and the consciousness of humanity forms a parallel reality?
"Nothing," may have been driven, irrelevant, yielding its place to "fullness." But how do you know that a glass is full, if it is never empty? "Completeness" and "emptiness" - two manifestations of a single entity.
Art group "evil" makes "nothing" in their works in the "something" in art. "Snatching", "piercing" and "breaking" metal - a material that we associate with the strength, stability and rigidity - if artists are invited to "void" in a world of vast presence. Like Lucio Fontana, they create the images familiar to us, "cloud", "blue", "dandelion", tearing or cutting the surface of the painting, breaking with that of its two-dimensionality, sending the image to infinity. But the "emptiness" in their work is not imbued with the darkness, but the light that, bursting into the space inside the work, if the cold bursts, lasting existence of life.
As the artists themselves say: "It gives us the opportunity to void conscious presence. "Our emptiness" encourages present in the real world, devoid of cheap illusions and realized in close to sacred images, but rather sells them himself. Not for nothing minimalist works in the exhibition, the lack of material, as opposed to if filled with meaning. And those who will be able to sincerely look into the void, it will open expanse. "
Void - is the lack of an eternal, permanent, logo, having the exclusive nature of the human world, everything appears to be under the influence of chaos, comprehensive entropy, which easily corrodes even iron, has only to look away. The entropy of the "evil" in this time takes images of the world and dreams, creating a new "space".
External "emptiness" blends in "emptiness" inside, which makes the author not only to die, but to sell what's left of it. This "emptiness" that occurs under external blows, forcing himself to create "enemies" not only outside but inside, destroying the seeds and turning them in the trash. After all, those "who faced with the emptiness that inevitably change, once and for all."
