ARCHITECTURAL MUSE. 2017

Collaborative project
Artist | Gregory Lysak
Sculptor | Vladimir Brodarsky
Photographer | Dmitry Stelmah
Art expert | Anna Piotrovskaya
Restoration debris is used as a sculptural medium to create a mythic image that represents the deformation of the architectural muse of bygone era. The project addresses the sensitive issue of gradually vanishing architecture of the 19th century with its unique architectural traditions, aesthetics and achievements.

Architectural elements are integrated with the sculpture. The installation introduces the viewer to an allegorical figure. We see something we should not have — the imagination of the artist, the architect; their muse. This is the tangible substance of an irreal object.

The installation was created exclusively for an exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art Erarta.
