A wonderful mirror
“I think it’s my role as an artist to bring to expression, it’s not my role to be expressive. I’ve got nothing particular to say, I don’t have any message to give anyone. But it is my role to bring to expression, let’s say, to define means that allow phenomenological and other perceptions which one might use, one might work with, and then move towards a poetic existence. ”

Kounter Kulture
Opus Art, the most commercial of all street art galleries “is thrilled to announce the launch of KounterKulture our new not for profit website. Kounter Kulture promises to revolutionise the art market by giving collectors an unprecedented level of access to contemporary artists and their work. Our new website will also enable artists to build more in-depth relationships with collectors, and communicate their own unique approach more effectively.”
Well, basically this means let the artists do the acquiring work and I’m pretty sure there is a provisional fee that goes to Opus Art when you’re selling through their website. So please don’t tell me it’s a non-profit website. By the way, there’s not only etsy doing this thing for a long time, but also the great arcademi.

Sergey Korobov / Man from Mars
Человек С Марса – the Person From Mars (Коробов Сергей – Sergey Korobov) comes from city of Сарапула Удмурдской республики (Sarapul of Republic Udmurdskoj) that is in an average strip of Russia more close to предуралью (the Ural Mountains). Travelled on the country with friends and creative group ” OM ” – Octopuses Many. The creative group is organized by young men with the purpose of joint creativity in every possible direction : music, the fine arts, poetry, theatre, photo-video materials, sculptural projects, performances and so on … The Person From Mars – a myth embodied in creativity – the artist, the poet, the actor, the musician – the attempt to capture all sides of reality in a uniform stream of a life. Absence of a rigid classical framework – both in submission and in the vital concept. Spontaneity – the main axis, a vertical, from which is scooped a variety of works of the Person From Mars – Человек С Марса
