On Kawara Japanese artist who created monochrome paintings with dates. This work has always been created on this current day. Later, the artist began to design another frame under the date-painting with newspaper clippings.
This approach is very conceptual and, at the same time, very narrative. On the one hand, we understand that every day is unique and it will not repeat. Only events in memory and records of this day remain. These numbers refer to a whole day in which many events took place. As a result, we see only a few symbols describing a particular day.
On the other hand, these works are very personal. They are painted by a man, where one way or another you can imagine painstaking work with many layers of paint, it is the time spent by the artist on this day.
By challenging the role of title brought me to a complex understanding of the work.
For example, an instructional title might be suggested for this white work.
“Sit opposite at a distance of 2.5 meters. Relax. Defocus your gaze on the entire colour surface of the work. Continue this until a glow appears around the work. This colour will complete the artwork.”
Or, for example, a name in the form of a sound is suitable for this colour.
I have not studied music, and this is what I want to leave like that. I feel a kind of freedom in music because I have no rules by which to compose a piece of music. As soon as I learn musical notation or composition, then I will be limited by these regulations.
So I imagined that my work should be exhibited in a concrete room. This will contrast the materials of the paintings and the space around them. Refined and sophisticated colours will be emphasized and strengthened by the industrial and brutal interior.
Title as a musical piece was a complex work. I was selecting the correct instruments, rhythm over and over again. The GarageBand app helps create music and record sounds, but I've tried to avoid templates and pre-made solutions. I even tried to superimpose my voice, but then the words took a central place but not the general atmosphere.
The result is a whole room with a conflicting feeling. On the one hand, something is trying to bring the order to find a balance between sound, the red colour of the works and the interior of the room, but on the other hand, it is a mess. The notes are not in order, and the disturbing sounds bring anxiety.
I like this arrangement of non-verbal means. I go beyond the boundaries of the plane and start working directly with sensations.
Soundtrack 1 minute 37 seconds is the maximum that the viewer will spend in the exhibition room, and this will be enough to get an artistic image.
