FOR YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN FACING EVIL THAT HAS NOW TURNED INTO A GLOBAL NIGHTMARE

A SYSTEM BUILT TO DESTROY, IT HAS BEEN ENCOURAGING IGNORANCE, SOWING FEAR, LIES, AND HATRED, SCHOOLING US TO BE NUMB TO ITS BRUTALITY, TRYING TO MAKE US DESENSITIZED TO ITS SENSELESSNESS, TRYING TO MAKE US SHUT UP AND GIVE UP, BREAKING OUR WILL TO BE FREE, POISONING OUR MINDS. IN A LOT OF WAYS, IT HAS SUCCEEDED. IT IS NOW OVERWHELMING. CATASTROPHIC

AGAIN AND AGAIN, WE HAVE CHOSEN TO BUILD. WE HAVE FAILED. WE HAVEN’T BEEN ENOUGH

AND STILL, FUCK THE CANNIBALS

A SYSTEM BUILT TO BUILD, WE WILL CONTINUE BUILDING

SYNTHESIS & INTEGRATION

In August of 2017 A.D.E.D. participated in the third group exhibition of alternative and subcultural art - «SYNTHESIS&INTEGRATION», held at Belief Moscow concept store.

The distinctive feature of biennale is multiculturalism, opportunity to combine the uncombinable, personal experience, proper understanding of style and the outlook of every participant on modern art within the joint exposition.

In 2017 the artists’ mission was to elaborate on the exhibition main concept - Monochrome - by presenting the works in black and white entirely while also discussing the role of these colors in their professional sphere.

One of the themes which have become of primary relevance to the collective in their continual interaction with the city is that of presence/absence. In Moscow, especially in the city centre, graffiti is kept under constant pressure for the sake of the illusion of order manifested in uniform walls, and daily activity is the only way to remain on the surface. The conflict leads to memory taking the place of paint: names that were here yesterday might be invisible today but will reappear here or nearby tomorrow. This situation of traces flickering in time, space and imagination is illustrated by the artwork created for «SYNTHESIS&INTEGRATION»
