Concept: Act of parenthood is a creative process.
The desire to create something valuable by investing a part of yourself in it is in human nature.
Creativity becomes art when it has an impact on society, reality, history, rises strong feelings, changes the mindset of the recipient. A person who perceives an object of art feels a need for creation in herself or himself.
Art implies the birth of a masterpiece.
Art contains harmony.
People of art are those who, thanks to their talent and hard work, are able to represent creative energy in its highest manifestation.
Стремление создавать что-то ценное, вкладывая в это частичку себя, заложено в человеческой природе.
Творчество становится искусством, когда оказывает воздействие на общество, действительность, историю, порождая сильные переживания, меняет ход мысли реципиента. Личность, воспринимающая продукт искусства, чувствует в себе потребность к созиданию.
Искусство предполагает рождение шедевра.
В искусстве содержится гармония.
Людьми искусства становятся те, кто благодаря своему таланту и трудолюбию способен представить творческую энергию в ее наивысшем проявлении.
A performance with a small child was presented on a roof in Dnipro.
Today, on August 18, a family of artists staged an unusual performance with a baby on the roof of a museum in Dnipro.
‘Informator’ reports about it from the scene of the event.
This evening a performance called ‘Cradle of art’ was presented by a local artist Alyona Zahrebelnaya on the roof of Ukrainian fine arts museum.
During the creative action the artist along with her husband Vladimir Korobka played with the baby. However, instead of simple hooting, jokes and lullabies young parents alternately called the names of artists, writers, and musicians.
The kid listened thoughtfully, then briskly reacted to unfamiliar names.
Here is what the artist Alyona Zagrebelnaya says about her idea: ‘The desire to create something valuable by investing a part of yourself in it is in human nature.Creativity becomes art when it has an impact on society, reality, history, rises strong feelings, changes the mindset of a person’.
‘Performance is a time bomb. Visitors see how I (or my husband) rock my son in a stroller and if he does not sleep entertain him with the names of great artists. I hope it touches them ... the normality of what is happening. And if everything works out, the spectators will think about the concept of parenthood for some time. This is the main reason I arranged my performance for’ - the artist said. ‘I want people to remember the cradle of art and that everything starts within us every time the those who watched this performance walk down the street and see a person with a stroller. Where does the “I” begin, and what potential every new life has got in it’.
People of different ages came to the evening performance. Some took children with them. Spectators actively participated in the creative action, adding the names of famous artists.
Most of all, the child liked Nietzsche and Pelevin. The names of Kerouac, Malevich and Tolstoy did not impress the baby.
‘The way it was arranged is my personal whim and escapade ... I like to touch people using art, via annoyance. So, the effect lasts longer’ - said the performer.
The artist believes that everything in our everyday life - whether washing dishes or ironing clothes - can become an art. Alena Zagrebelnaya also noted that lately she has been striving for simple things that surround us every day.
