Autumn swans are all gone.
I am sick at inappropriate time,
Everyone has gone to the moon for a feast.
I ask my close friends
To steal the moon
And hang it on my window.

The wind and rain making noise all night The sea of fallen leaves around. See the sugar moon in gold waves Jump toward her And surely drown in gold leaf Because I don't know how swim.

My world is covered by a metal forest And the moon stuck in the rusty trees. Risking my life I will go and release her even if I will die! My barren life in the metal woods.

Hats, bags
and umbrellas are all for sale
They are

Buy

Except
that the moon will be never yours
You can
only take away some moonlight

Homecoming. Meinong tobacco barns

I
returned to my empty home remembering
My
father brought this firewood.
The unused
cold furnace
Was like
my fireless, empty heart.
But the
moon will bring a new fire
To me and
warm me again.

House for the moon. Meinong

On the
roof of my run-down home,
There
are houses for birds
At a
higher place I built a house for the moon,
My heavenly friend.
I am happy
to stay on the broken Earth
As long
as the moon does not leave me.

Who washed ashore? Sizihwan
Was washed ashore of mine
The dead Tree and the live Moon.
Or me was washed to their shores
Me half-dead poet-nomad

Farewell to the Moon. Sizihwan

The moon becomes brighter
Before she rises to the sky.
Which way should I take? By what river will I meet her? An empty boat berthed the quay Looks just like the moon.

The Cube of Eternity
 |
ETERNITY CUBE
“The Eternity Cube” exhibition is a curious exploration in the beginnings of one of the main Kasimir Malevich’s art-patterns – the square, the cube and the architecton. The installation is actually a reconstruction of the architectons, made of refined sugar cubes, and the album with the drawings - the recreation of Malevich’s biography facts, plus video “The Kasimir’s cube”.
I’ve been thinking of Malevich’s cube mystery, what it is and where had it come from. 12 years have passed from the first time I took a small black representation of eternity in my weak hands. It is a long but very symbolic term: the Dradon year came back and presented me an answer. The answer was hidden in Malevich’s childhood: “like photo negatives are hidden in a case, waiting for being developed”. The black square appeared today on a negative and the picture is glowing with a snow-white refined sugar cube!
The Kazimir’s father, Severin Malevich, took his son to the sugar refining factory, where he was a director. “I was walking with my father on the factory and saw machines, new for those years, fast rotating centrifuges with white sugar in there.” Later he writes: “The color should be destroyed, that means that it should be changed to white.” The factory has been fabricating also refined sugar in square pieces, it has been packaged in amount of 250 pieces in a pack with the name “Tshainiy”. There was always a lot of sugar cubes in Malevich’s family, so Kazimir was surrounded by it from the childhood.
Those times the sugar cube had equal 1,5 sm sides, tight and absolutely snow-white. This geometric “present” of his father was the main pattern in Kazimir’s childhood, was the basic figure ih his creative space. It was a sugar cube that provoked Kazimir to create Architectons in the future, starting by constructing some buildings made of sugar on his infant table.
In 1915 white sugar cube turned out to be a black negative – “The Black Square”. A little bit later the artist Kazimir Malevich has been using the refined sugar to the unpractical, senseless creating of abstract, architect, nonobjective relationship. That’s how Architectons appeared – “with no price, no function, non-constructive, blind buildings” otherwise Planits.

Installations Rag Sun and Divers
from the Heaven, found wear and photos
of artist's kin, salt, 2004, on exhibition "Life from the End"
of NCCA and Tula Necropilis from 19th May
We leave home and come back Home.
Everything remained the same in that house
as when we’d left it and yet everything was
different -- it was illumined with the light of
eternity, the light of universal farewell.
In this world of eternal returns any
phenomenon of the present carries
within itself the past and the future,
that is the eternity itself.
Everything here, at the edge of the eternity,
becomes a symbol and is multiplied through
similarities, as a crystal in its matrix, in
the solution of its soul, becomes
overgrown with its past experiences
and turns into a magic creature capable
of expressing its secret thoughts
about the subconscious events of its innermost life, in the language of the objects from the external world. Thus the artist spins a thread out of the formless cloud of being,
twisting it round the spindle of his
imagination to create his mythological world.
