Luft

Luft Curators: Eldar Ganeev, Vladimir Potapov. Joint "student" exhibition at the CCSI. Concept: Luft inevitably arises when trying to combine different genres of contemporary art — installation, painting, as well as land art, which provides the background and therefore becomes an obligatory part of the work. Luft means "air" in German. The air is what unites the artists of the project. Namely, the importance of accounting for air (space) in work. And, even more so, when the artists will have to work in the open air - "open air" (in French). And in German, plein air is Freiluft. Which, if desired, can be translated as "the air of freedom." In the Wiktionary, you can find the following definition: Luft is a certain degree of freedom in the presence of strict restrictions. Wiktionary understands the situation correctly — even in a system of the most severe restrictions, artists have always managed to find a "Luft"!
