The
project: " the Ornamented monuments of the world "
It is necessary to present customary from the new
points of view.
There are so many monuments waiting for me in the
World. This project is in need of sponsor's support. Attracting an energetic
command, and financial support, it is realistic to execute similar projects.
The idea is that a monument is covered with protective layer (so that it cannot
be damaged by paint) and only then it is being painted on.
It
can remain thus for as long as necessary. Printed and other advertising
production, some souvenirs and postcards and t-shirts or whatever is produced and
even some sort of show is possible. It attracts the attention of potentials
tourists etc. The objectively tough project. I am currently working on the
sketches of different famous monuments.
The project:
" the Ornamented monuments of cities of the World. "
We and our cities have monuments created in honour of
various events and the figures. I want to draw your attention to that
circumstance, that on stretch of many years these monuments just stand and do
not participate in any way in cultural life of city. The very small part of
progressive mankind remembers, comprehends and realizes the necessity of these
(certainly necessary) objects of town-planning.
The artist Andrew Shevchenko puts forward the project
of ornamenting the monuments of the cities. It is necessary to mark, that in
the ornamented state these objects can be remained for certain (determined)
amount of time (from one week to one year).
Technology, with the help of which the monuments to be
painted will not
damage them. At first a monument is covered with a special blanket, on
which the paint is put. After deleting it the initial look returns to that
monument. If necessary the monument is cleaned from dust and dirt which almost
all city monuments have on them and is covered with special protective
compound.
The dates of the art happenings can be attached to the
certain dates or cultural events. In case of correctly lead advertising
campaign, this art event itself becomes a large and noticeable cultural event.
It is necessary to mark, that the author of this
project understands impossibility to draw on all monuments. Certainly, there
are some monuments, which are impossible and not necessary to cover with a
colour paint, even for some time. But any city has a plenty of other objects,
which it is possible and is necessary (under the judgment of the author) to
ornament for a certain period of time.
It is necessary to mark, that the similar art
happenings will bring a large favour
to city and to promote comprehension by the citizens
and potential tourists of the fact, that administration and the urban
authorities are the progressive members of modern society and supporters of
modern culture and r open to new sight on routine. The favour to city will be
exhibited in the following:
a) the
illumination of the given event in press and on a television will increase
tourist interest to cultural life of city,
sales of the posters and cards,
which will allow tourists to have unforgettable memory of the given event;
b) considering
sponsors support the city will be given supplementary funds for keeping its
monuments in perfect condition;
c) In case the
"fathers" of the city are morally, for the present, not ready for such daring, advancing its
time project it is possible to use the reduced copies of monuments or full-scale copy.
I think, that in collective discussion many other
interesting ideas and financial projects will appear.
