ART Habens
Sergey Sobolev
the art with functionality, if not practical but in any case curative or psychological. All the disciplines I ' ve talked about are directly related to the form and the space. The fact that I ' m engaged into various activities is explained not by my efforts to find the appropriate tool for selfexpression, but more by the fact that I have my own perspective, my own point of view, where I see the tings a bit different, and sometimes I want to express it. I have defined this term as " meta-design ", it belongs to a different level, and that ' s why the discipline differences do not play an important role. As for the abstract forms, here we deal with absolute metaphysics.
I noticed that you seem to induce the viewer to abandon himself to his associations, looking at time in spatial terms and I daresay, rethinking the concept of space in such a static way: this seems to remove any historic gaze from the reality you refer to, offering to the viewers the chance to perceive in a more atemporal form. How do you conceive the rhythm of your works?
I deal with supertemporal categories. I ' m interested in timeless themes. They unite people regardless of geography or epoch. It is the level where there is no discord, and I try to bring it outside, out of the depth of the unconscious. I want it to get material form and to transform from a theory to a real artifact. To the thing which many people guess, but do not find a real confirmation. This applies especially to sculpture art. It has always been a synonym for immortalization.
