Sculpture and Lecture ‘Steak Russian Art’
After the slideshows I found needs to build a
sculpture. As in combitation with the expanding of the former USSR/ CCCP and
the follow –up in showing up ,, of the
next 30 year leadership of the so-called leaders of those satelite states, we
travelled in winterhouses, motels,gastinitze and chai-canna’s. Baracs of all
kind, shaslik-cana’s and re- organised picknick places, where you bring/ make
your own food and order a coffee and use the toilet.
In these enviroments of self employed, -educated,-
contracted people, we found our way through. The food is everywhere
the same way, but the people make specially the best out of their places. In
comparison to the retro, neo, post
imperial or classical style which are followed by government and real-estate
, as to be ‘outstanding’ in terms of
architecture.
Kindly spoken; the former Russia didn’t distroy all orthodox
churches (Vladimir,Suzdal) and all
mosques and palaces and tombs of islamic art (in Samarkant,Khiva,etcetera). Still there, they inspire our new buildings
with gates and towers, with onionroofs and abstract ornaments. Even the lay-out
of the spaces, the roads and the desire
to put buildings on its place are not neglected.
As coming through mountainareas with nomadic yurts and
winterhouses with colourfull carpets on the wall and on the floor, we can’t
escape from the warmth of the people and the obedience to its leaders 20 years
of future plans as for all the 4 countries we traveled in 2 different
continents, both with the name central;
Central Asia and Central Europe, there is no border on that side of
Europe. You can gues where it should be on architectural way, but unluckely or
perhaps for some; luckely, wooden beam houses with Ytong walls on the inside
now a days …. and ‘whitehouse’parliamental buildings on the other side, are
still there.
The sculpture actually represents the direction of the
‘brick and brack, jolly, own’design of owners of that houses , in variation on
the type of beamhouses and the highgate
arches with those shapes , which reminds you of palaces and protected
living, bookshape, lighter- and castelshape buildings. As in Astana. It also forms a head and a body, a smiley on
a square, a teahouse on the prairy, a petrolstation not completed or a
glassbuilding with soundsystem and videoregistration and GPS to tell where it
is located, Europe or Asia? Uzbekistan, Kirgistan, Kazagstan or Russia or more
refind; Basjkirostan and Tjadikistan and Ural.
It was a pleasure to meet and it is inspiring to go on, on
the way that old culture . old states not restraint on what we should go on
with; house- and government
constructions, or despite of which religion the people believe in and financial
situation they have to handle. No, one day it will be finished; ready.
Ingshallah.
