Kirill Makarov & Ksenia Kononenko

CURATORIAL STATEMENT

• The project is a series of three objects. Each object is a space inhabited by the visual objects that were created by the artist Kirill Makarov for the writings of the poet and psychoanalyst Ksenia Kononenko (project “In the Salty Sand, the Sun Has a Musky Smell”). Every space is formed like a utopian space for hybrid objects and shapes and contains contains a poem, which was written purposefully for the project (different visual invariants could be found: the form of a classical poetic line, slogan or a freestanding monumental object). Each type of expression has its own visual solution.
