Festival of landscape objects "Archstoyanie"
 

In the five years of its existence "Archstoyanie" became an integral part of the summer festival of life. The theme of the current "Archstoyanie", which will be held July 24-25, was the search for harmony with nature. On the territory of Nicola sloth appear 19 objects, labyrinths, the idea of dealing with life and death, relations with the outside world and even the existence within the walls of the office.

Given the abnormally hot weather, which is not the first week of tearing the city, a trip to Nicola sluggard, probably the best idea is not just part of entertainment, but also a ready escape route from the burning of Moscow. Especially this year, "Archstoyanie" promises to be a truly synthetic festival. Instead, Nicholas Polissky curator became an artist Oleg Kulik. He decided to combine all kinds of art, so that the forum participants, and spectators traveled not only on natural landscapes, but the expanses of the human mind.

As a result, the concept of the festival was called "The Nine Muses of the labyrinth. Forest liturgy "- in each of the labyrinths built for" Archstoyanie, combine several kinds of art and each maze sings harmony with nature. But all together creates a common facility labyrinth: the idea of the authors, having it can be achieved, if not enlightenment, then at least understanding of how to coexist in the nature of different things and stuff.

For example, Eugene Asse submit a draft "road" - swath that runs through the meadow, represents life, rebirth and renewal. Author (he dedicated his work centennial of care by Leo Tolstoy) he is going to swath 400-meter strip: the whole process will be filmed on video and presented here at the festival. Football forest "Vyacheslav Mizin and Aleksandr Shaburov from the group" Blue Noses "- a metaphor for how the nature of the subject to strict rules. "Sundial" Vladimir Potapov remind the passage of time and become yet another attempt to measure the harmony with algebra. The graduation is a clock niches, covered with plexiglas, - a kind of showcase where you want to put the results of scientific discoveries and artistic works. At a time when the shadow will fall on one or another division, time will be measured in "units of art and science.

Some labyrinths are sound - one will be used singing bowls, and the other on the idea of the artist and musician Hermes Zaygotta forest itself will be the orchestra. Hanging in the trees Musical Instruments, sinks and other items with the wind blowin 'create their own melody. Moreover, it can sound and after "Archstoyanie" end. By installing argues that the items included in it will be able to "sing" for five years.

The route, which form a maze of "Archstoyanie", is both a journey into space and the search themselves. In short, the way that promotes harmony, not only external but internal.
