"Небографика" Максим Ксута \ "Skygraphics" Maxim Ksuta [05:29]
To fail to find a way in a city is an ordinary thing. Another matter is to lose your way there, like you do in a forest. This requires practice. Walter Benjamin "Childhood in Berlin at the Turn of the Century" Losing your way in your own city is next to impossible: you need to possess Benjamin's skills of a flaneur to stray from your habitual routes. Hanging around without any certain purpose is a task hardly feasible for the modern city dweller. A lonely walk is, rather, an attribute of literature, a true companion of romantics and melancholics, not of people always in a hurry on some extremely important business. At the very moment when an imaginary city map with a fantastic topography starts to form in Benjamin's mind, Maxim Ksuta shifts his gaze upwards, and his routes lie in a different plane where the sky of the city is lined with electric wires turning it into a graphic surface. Fussy reality seems to draw back, the space is cleaned to a near sterility — before us there are "sheets" which resemble either works by the American minimalists — from Agnes Martin to Fred Sandbeck, or the static compositions of the Russian constructivists. The comparison with minimalism in this case is far from being casual: Ksuta's works come in a series. The same theme can be endlessly and naturally varied — the artist consciously uses his means sparingly, intensifying at the same time the effect of recognizing more than just specific electric cables in abstract lines and spirals.

TEDxPerm - Alexey Germanovich - PRYALKOVO [24:28]
Alexey Germanovich: Ru.branding project leader, founder of "Open Collection" foundation, folk art expert. For centuries Russia has been famous for its tradition of folk art, original paintings, patterns and characters depicted on objects of peasant's everyday life. It is our history, pride and heritage. We have entered the 21st century of high technology and modernization, but are still surrounded by drab Soviet urban transport and vast stretches of rusting industrial buildings. We want to change the world and brighten up routines. Airplanes, factories, bus-stops and trains could all be decorated with original designs from Russian folk art. Ru.branding is a logical continuation of art evolution, a second life for forgotten Russian art.

Youtbe: nurettinodunya Tashkent - The Capital of Uzbekistan The main city of Uzbekistan is a huge metropolis with a population of over 3 million people. The city is lined with a grid of straight and wide streets and avenues, decorated with emerald green parks, gardens, fountains imbued with crystal strands... This wonderful city is a real embodiment of the modern elegance that is inherent in many world capitals. At the same time it remains to be an oriental city. Tashkent has its own unique flavor. It combines medieval buildings as if descended from the pages of old oriental tales, elegant European architecture from the period of the Turkestan governor-generalship, standard concrete "boxes" of the Soviet era and, finally, glittering skyscrapers of glass and concrete (modern business centers and banks).
