Exhibition of Alexander Dedov "New Brave World" Automatic translate

As part of the new exhibition project "New Brave World", Alexander Dedov opens up a space for reflection on the trends of recent history for the viewer. In the context of the rapid change in everyday life, the deformation of public consciousness brings culture and thinking to unpredictable points of development, which become the object of the artist’s research. The exposition interprets the events of the gradual introduction of targeted modules and measures of an anti-utopian future in the field of modernity.

Alexander Dedov associates his work with the continuous search for new forms and the desire to go beyond the boundaries of the usual interpretations with each new work. In his youth, Dedov practiced drawing and painting, studied at the Arkhangelsk Art Lyceum. Later he focused his creative work on object design and sculpture, graduated from the British Higher School of Design. Despite his education, to a greater extent, the sculptor considers himself self-taught. In his opinion, one can become an artist only by being an experimenter and having a spiritual need to bring something innovative to art every day, to look for one’s own methods.

Dedov defines his works as a unity of three large-scale phenomena: material, technology and the power of human thought. The sculptures of the exhibition "New Brave World" turn these phenomena to the question of the transformation of everyday life and the artistic environment under the conditions of the totalitarian Renaissance.

The artist comprehends an alternative stage in the development of civilization, formed by the consequences of events and a new informational biofield. This stage is opposed to the generally accepted concept of development up to the return to the primitiveness of technology, art, education, material wealth and other values ​​of modernity. At the same time, according to the author, the immutable basis of the ideology of the totalitarian Renaissance is the multiplication of the ideas of humanity, harmony, preservation of peace and the resources of the planet.
