Concept:

“Good life” – the nature of every moment of life, which is filled with feelings of pleasure of observation and wonder. The artist, as a reflection of all these processes, is a guide through own work to the viewer. Emotionally positive vision of the world in colour and shape. Just as no two people are alike, so is art, each different and thus unique. Colour-form, light-life.

Life is the will to knowledge, in every person there is a desire for satisfaction and self-affirmation. Will is realized intuitively at the level of deep interpretation of truth, life is a reflection of will. The flow of energy, the existence of each individual is embodied in a relentless art movement. The very idea of the project includes the concepts of the core of human consciousness, the uniqueness of style, new emotions that find a way out in creativity. Each author seeks to comprehend the world directly and thus overcome the limitations of the traditional way of expressing reality. Individual philosophy speaks the language of consciousness, intensity and depth of experience.

“Good life” is first of all inner enlightenment, feeling of the soul, deciphering of meanings, belief in all beautiful that is in this world. The aim of the project is to establish live communication in order to be able to express oneself and be heard.

The main idea of the “Good Life” interaction art project was communication, both personal and public. Ability to say out loud about yourself, your art, vision, feelings, what worries you, what is important, etc.

To say where they don’t expect it, to talk to an audience that is not ready to hear, to do what others don’t do, to look for their own way, their own manner, to contact other artists, to create a new reality … it’s all about a new installation “Green Zone”created by artist tandem: Valentin Chornyi and Maria Bondarenko.

Author’s text:

Man-child of the Earth. In the struggle for survival on the planet has created an artificial barrier-modern cities. Over time, increasingly isolating itself from the ground with a layer of asphalt and concrete, it destroyed the original connection, launching a process of global self-destruction.

The “Green Zone” installation is designed to remind of the value of all living beings that we ruthlessly bury under an artificial layer of urban environment, gives the opportunity to feel and restore the broken connection with the earth.

At the opening of the art project “Good life” Tetiana Korneeva presented the performance “Untitled”.
Within the framework of communication between author-space-audience, the artwork acquired a new meaning, touching upon important notes in the subconscious of both the viewer and the artist.

Text from the author:

Tetyana Korneeva -, “In the performance “Untitled ” I used the author’s text, which each visitor to the exhibition could pick up from the floor and read. In fact, it was my personal reflection of the text itself and the experience of time. There was a feeling that something clicked, snapped and I no longer have the opportunity to resist. I am in this room and live it through each and every one, trying to find a look that will have answers.

How do we deal with time? It seems to me that there is some kind of magic in this, and what is happening now, very quickly, so quickly that I do not have time to catch, stretches somewhere like rubber for many, many years.

I was part of the space and merged with the floor from which the grass grew, it seemed to me that I was part of this grass, part of the flower beds and the whole city on the street and that I was not, not at all as a separate subject, but I was like something big, I’m inside this city. It was a performance about my closeness and I am grateful to everyone and everyone who shared a part of this closeness with me.

This work is the beginning of a whole cycle and it was very interesting to do it in a place that did not provide for such a thing in its essence. Further will be … “
