Curating for those who are writing the code that is building our future
Life today is clouded with digital disruption and stress which is making it harder for us to think critically, solve problems and adapt to change. Our spaces can make a difference. We have the power to create wellbeing through art and design.
As human beings, we are part of nature, our bodies are hardwired to respond to our natural environment. We can reset the nervous system by curating with the textures, forms, patterns, shapes and colors that we find in nature to blur the connection between nature and our interiors spaces.
Maxim Zhestkov
Maxim Zhestkov (b.1985, Russia) is a media artist and director whose practice
centres around the influence of digital media on shifting the boundaries of
visual language.
The first art films Maxim made were in monochromatic palettes and mostly
concentrated on movement and physics - about 10 years of dedicated focus on the
movement and choreography of elements and shapes. In 2015, Maxim and his
colleagues launched a studio/workshop - Zhestkov.Studio - to explore new horizons
in the world of art and work on projects for galleries, brands, and performing
live shows.
Zhestkov Studio works on the intersection of art, design, computer graphics and
science and develops new forms of moving images and forms for clients around the
globe including Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, LG, PlayStation, Nike, Under
Armour, and Jimmy Choo.
In digitally-rendered contemporary gallery-like settings, digital forms and
sculptures move and interact. The forms are beautifully choreographed, producing
rhythmic and complex movement patterns that play with their surroundings. Maxim’s
work pushes the boundaries of the traditional white cube gallery environment,
and questions how art is and will be viewed and experienced with the increasing
influence of digital media.
