Maxim Zhestkov: Architectural video worlds

Maxim Zhestkov, a motion-, graphics designer and video artist, is inspired by many different fields like for example: science, fashion, architecture and/or space. He creates architectural worlds where sounds blend with space and shape.

Zhestkov: “I have tried to reflect the concept of the universe between the infinite and border as a pulsating place of energy and magnetism.”

Zhestkov: “Any composition needs to begin with one or two main elements. The smaller the elements, the greater number of them there should be. You need to start with one or two main ideas and gradually build up the smaller elements until the space becomes rich with life.”

Venice Biennale 2009

Earlier this Month Tobias Rehberger was awarded the Golden Lion for best artist in curator Daniel Birnbaum’s Fare Mondi / Making Worlds art exhibition at the 53rd Venice Biennale.

Tobias Rehberger is a German conceptual artist with whom Warmenhoven &  Venderbos cooperated during the Manifesta Biennale. Together they created the autonomous project called; Visitors of the Manifesta, a mixed media project which consisted out of  a performance and a collection.

Tobias Rehberger designed the cafeteria at the Biennale pavilion (formerly known as Italian Pavilion). The jury stated: Tobias Rehberger is awarded the Golden Lion as best artist for taking us beyond the white cube, where past modes of exhibition are reinvented and the work of art turns into a cafeteria. In this shift social communication becomes aesthetic practice. La Biennale di Venezia 2009: Fare Mondi (Making Worlds).
