Interactive sculpture of Victor Polyakov with the concept of "hidden art" will become part of the large-scale architecture of Moscow City
17 August 2017, Thursday

One of the first in the framework of the project Lexus Hybrid Art with the concept of hidden art began to work young Russian artist Victor Polyakov. His new work "Cubed / Uncubed" will be installed on City Square - in the new public space of Moscow City on the embankment (between the tower "Evolution" and the bridge "Bagration"). According to the artist's plan public art sculpture is a cube whose faces are delineated by polygonal shapes, and inside is hidden one more object. In accordance with the concept of hidden art from touching the surface of "Cubed / Uncubed" the object wakes up, becomes completely transparent and only then opens the object hidden inside the object to the viewer.


The object, enclosed inside the sculpture, is inspired by the art of origami. The aesthetics of origami - the Japanese art of folding various figures from paper - is close to the skillful manual work of Takumi, the Japanese masters, whose standards and rules are taken as a basis in the creation of Lexus cars.


While maintaining a balance between form and content, Victor Polyakov's work meets the artistic principles of the Lexus project, and at the same time the tasks of the Lexus Hybrid Art collaboration and the Summer City program. Spatially oriented sculpture fits seamlessly into the architectural context of the City and reveals its potential.
