Kurt Fleckenstein at the Art Festival “The Level of a Sea” St Petersburg
In October 2009 The “Pushkinskaya-10” Art Centre in St Petersburg celebrates its 20th anniversary. The workers of independent art united in The “Free Culture” Society professional artistic association decided to mark this date by organizing an international festival of independent art.
(firmenpresse) - The “Sea Level” metaphor, which unites the seashore cultures, became the key one in the concept of the St Petersburg festival. Such uniting is not accidental. The ancient civilizations, with their rich culture and art, existed exactly in a dialog with a sea. Ebbs and flows determined the rhythm of the life of people; the people’s well-being depended on the sea. Only the middle – optimal – level of the sea guaranteed the uninterrupted development of culture and civilization. The ancient laws still stand in new times.
In the second half of the 20th century on the territory of the former USSR there were three capitals of independent art: Leningrad, Moscow, and Odessa. The artists of these cities have gone along an analogous way of creative search: finds losses, victories and disappointments. In The St Petersburg Central Exhibition Hall “Manezh” all the kinds of contemporary art will be presented: painting, printed and digital graphic arts, sculpture, installation, video-art, photography, performance.
Kurt Fleckenstein will realize an Installation with the title: “The sea has gone”. There will be 14 tons of sea salt at the bottom. His idea:
In the frame of the climate discussion a lot is talked about hurricanes, inundations, rise of the sea level, all the negative effects on sea and climate. The installation shows only the salt which remains after the evaporation of the sea water. Not more than this, only the small ship’s screw, still continuing to spin without any explainable reasons, indicates the former existence of mankind.
