Regular readers of Cultural Studies and connoisseurs of non-standard contemporary art will surely remember those mysterious drawings on snow fields by Simon Beck, similar works of Sonja Hinrichsen, sand drawings by the master of land art under the pseudonym Evewright, which look like signs and symbols left by those who are watching us from space. There is something mystical in them, despite the fact that the authors of these works are real living people who have spent a lot of time and effort on creating their art projects. The Swedish artist decided to improve, speed up and mechanize the process of turning an ordinary beach into a canvas for such creativity. Gunilla klingberg, - her art project is dedicated to this A sign in space … Being a modern person who knows a lot about new technologies and believes that the future belongs to them, the artist used equipment in her work, and not just any, but a large and powerful tractor. But instead of a mower, which helps to harvest crops in an ordinary field, Gunilla Klinberg equipped the tractor with a special roller, like those installed on asphalt rollers, and applied a convex decorative pattern to the roller. Now he will leave a curly decorative trail on the sand, and this is what we need.
The creative pattern of stars and geometric patterns covering the sandy beaches reminds not only of the times of the USSR and communism. He also does not allow us to forget that our brothers in mind live somewhere in space, and the field, strewn with patterned stars, will become a kind of invitation signal for them to communicate.
Alas, waiting for the A Sign In Space art project to bear its first fruits is too tedious and time-consuming. We can only hope that at least our grandchildren will be able to taste these very "fruits" … Or maybe by that time we and our fellows from outer space will already become good friends and comrades-in-arms.
