History for Black Square Reconstructed work in interview:
The avant-garde early in the last century advanced modern practices throughout the arts. Kazimir Malevich, Vladimir Tatlin and contemporaries introduced innovative approaches through abstraction to define independent doctrines and theory. Transforming the visible world between nonrepresentational strategies that revealed the growing complexity of modern life in art and science. Spreading inventive vocabularies with pioneering purpose along with modern print media.
Kazimir Malevich’s absolute reduction of artistic content into the Black Square painting in 1915 was emblematic, iconic and systematic. Shifting art beyond the archetypes of Cézanne, Futurism and Cubism in theory and practice. The painted square amplified modern paradigms of space, color and geometric constructs proposing unbound freedoms.
The Black Square Reconstructed project celebrates and redefines Malevich's primal square within the current digital age uniting technological innovations with state-of-the art practices. Through a digital synthesis of postmodern photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, conceptual and related experimentation, to expand approaches beyond past art analogs with virtual dimensionality, color and meaning. Positioning today's self-determined photographic forms of expression that generate experience into a wider array of ideas outside art historical genre, prescribed classifications or past definitions.
