Projectionism
Projectionism is an art movement of the Russian avant-garde from the 1920s, in which the goal was not a concrete result, but a methodology.
Projectionists
The members of the group 'Metod' ( Russian Метод ) ('projectionists') met for the first time in 1922 as an informal group of students and graduates of Wchutema . Her thesis reflected the prevailing view of experimental art in the service of technology and production.
According to this theory, the artist is not the producer of the objects of everyday life and art, but only the creator of their projections, ie of ideas, conceptions and plans; Creator only of the methods on the basis of which the objects of millions of people are created. "
Solomon Nikritin can be seen as the spiritual father of the projectionists. He knew the analytical art and built his work on the variety of experiments. From 1925 to 1929 S. Nikritin was appointed head of the Analytical Cabinet for the Art of Painting in Moscow . His works consisted of texts, drawings, photos, reliefs, with the help of which he achieved three-dimensionality. He is also known as the author of theoretical works on color theory and composition issues.
The versatility of the artists from this group, such as Kliment Redko, Alexander Tyschler, Alexander Labas and Sergei Lutschischkin, is amazing. The only thing they had in common was the assumption that an artistic project (drawing, painting, sculpture, etc.) into a thing should only be realized through the creativity of the viewer.
