If we do not recognize the provision of Paragraph 1 stating that “all human
beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”, the basis of all
other rights (the right to life, personal inviolability, free labour,
etc.) would change. Or if one of them is violated we should not expect
that other rights would be protected and a man will be able to fully
realize his universal right – humanity.A man is a creature acting in
lots of dimensions, which exists and acts in material-live world and all
his activities makes the world change. A man is turned to an active
creature - human being in this dimension through freedom or free will,
skill of free choice and ability to use it. Modern art strategy is based
just on these principles that while reflecting the world’s integrity
rejects ideal, local space of the Art and tends to deeply intrude into
invisible layers of human consciousness. For that,
contemporary actual art for a long time adverts to illogical, sometimes
paradox representations that may be excluded from original content and
turn into new virtual object.
The
stylistics of Dato Alexidze’s works is characterized by these signs that
along with certain mysticism contain great number of elements of
philosophic reasoning. Along with demonstration of panting culture the
artist constantly appeals to a spectator’s unconsciousness and keeps the
right to reappraise stereotype dogma and add totally different sounding to
eternal categories. In this case it is of less importance which form of
expression is chosen by the artist. He is not obliged to provide collected
information exhaustively to the society according to universally
recognized norms. The main thing is that his concept should comply with
symptomatology of epoch, situation and turn into a “tool”, which is
never regulated and from the semantic point of view always includes some
remarks for thinking and argumentation.
Thus,
mock-punning finding do not prevent (conversely, even intensifies) the
task of opening the theme – Davit Alexidze’s personages exist and live
somewhere beside us, in the environment well-known to us. At the same time
by their unusual configuration they indicate that their life is not
different, but it is proceeding with different emotional flow (as well as
the life of each of us) and remind us once more that they have the right
to have their “private life” – their own habits, sympathies and
antipathies, weakness, secrets, dreams or passions. They have the right to
live on their “islands”, that may be “forbidden” for others and
this right should not be infringed by rough interference, as “the
private life” created by a man himself is to some extent
“creativity” that is inviolable.
Correspondingly,
the artist that claims to be free should not obey to dictates of majority
and itS element should become even some “hooliganism” (even impart an
inanimate body – doll with animated features that by the way do not
exclude the association of protection of women’s rights). In that case
artistic reflection of reality may become apparent even in absurd projects
that is not excluded to turn in reality and
prerequisite
of
progress in future. And “freethinking man with unrestricted fantasy and
rich imagination which at the same time do not deceive himself with
illusions could not be wounded by dull governors and reformers (Henri
David Torro).
