How should we treat objects that are not manufactured by humans with some functional qualities, that exist in multitude (as some natural impressions for example leaves, fruits etc.) in the surrounding environment.

They are very common and do not have any artistic goal in themselves. The method where the objects that exist outside our will (the are not manufactured by human) could be named Ready-Existent.

For practical usage of a series of such objects and to give them artistic meaning a special exposition frame was produced. This frame has exposition sides which allow to fix the objects in the vertical position when placing frame for viewing on the wall.

More interesting could be artistic presentation and perception not only ready existent objects as such but ready-existent events where these existent objects take part in dynamic relation system – an event.

Art object “Life of a Drop” presents the event of birth and death of a drop. The gist of the project lays in the projecting of primary and common event (falling of a water drop) from common conditions and place it into in certain artistic context (exposition frame). In this place appears transformation of common event into symbolic meaning, which is a short life of living beings. This is called to provoke a viewer’s feeling of value of every moment of one’s life.

The same construction approach to artistic composition was used to events like fire, vapor, smoke etc.

Ready-existant

Nemish Art, Project

Project consists of:
30 works

Medium:
• Box with a frame
• Existing objects

THE TARGET OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PRESENT AN ARTISTIC WORK AS AN ARTISTIC SIGN, SOMETHING THAT IS NOT READY AND MANUFACTURED (MARCEL DUCHAMP), BUT ALSO SOMETHING THAT ALREADY EXISTS AND IS NOT MANUFACTURED.
This second existence does not foresee artistic tasks and it does not have an artistic goal.
It is worth to recollect the fundamentals for this project.
The definition “ready-made” was brought into art by French dadaist artist  Marcel Duchamp in 1913 by creating series of works such as “Bicycle wheel” (1913), “Bottle Rack” (1914), “Fountain” (1917). The object becomes ready-made by placing it from routine non-artistic surrounding into artistic environment. By doing this the object is presenting itself from unexpected perspective as it was brought into art context, that caused new artistic features to appear. These new characteristics were absent in for this object before.

Contemporary and avant-garde artistic movement presents idea that common manufactured object could be perceived as an exposition object, as an art object without any changes in itself and out of its functional properties (outside its routine conditions).
