25 Years of the MARCHI Higher School of Environmental Design
From June 17 to 30, Moscow hosted the exhibition "25 Years of the MARCHI Higher School of Environmental Design".
One of the participants was Yaroslav Terekhov. After "White Lotus" he moved and expanded his part of the exhibition into the neighboring VKHUTEMAS building.
Yaroslav Terekhov writes in his post:
"The Tower of Dreams is part of a vast project under the umbrella name 'Geography of Dreams', which neatly accommodates almost everything I'm doing right now.
It is a shaky building populated by works from different years. Some were created specially for the exhibition, others piled up over years of studying abstract origami, some were reworked, some rethought, just as in a dream the impressions of the past day can intertwine with childhood memories, tied together by a film seen ten years ago.
So far I have found in the tower the influence of constructivism, Gothic, Giger, Tatlin, Lyonel Feininger, Kandinsky, expressionist cinema and absurdism. But that is certainly not all, further research is needed."
On June 21, the summer solstice, members of the "Origami and Capybaras" community gathered at the exhibition. Yaroslav gave a tour and showed his work.
It was great to meet in person people I had only known from the chat. Alexander Timoshik brought several of his models and gave them out to the participants.
The meetup ended with a walk and a visit to the eco-center "Sborka", which also often hosts exhibitions. What stayed with me there was the "Marine Ecosystems" series by Ekaterina Seromakha, white abstract objects reminiscent of sea corals.
