The edge is an important part of a person’s worldview. It is thanks to her that we divide the world into good and bad, black and white, sad and cheerful… A sense of proportion, as well as a sense of demand, helps to outline for us the line of what is permitted. What you can and what you want. But these feelings are individual for everyone. A person is free to decide for himself what emotions will prevail in him, and what actions he will perform under their influence. Unfortunately, we often do not care about the possible consequences of our actions, putting everything on the line for fleeting gain. What motivates us at this moment? Most often, this is a desire to self-actualize, to achieve more than one has. At this moment we no longer think about how far we have come. There is only a goal to be better than you were and better than you are now. It is at this moment that we cross the line of what is permitted…
Video, performance, installation from the creative group of the project space: Pavel Shpilova, Lyudmila Nichai, Oleksandra Pavlovskaya, Taras Donenko, actors – Max Antonenko, Ksyusha Varapaeva-Dubrovskaya. Inspired by Tatiana Cherevan.
The Edges of the Permissible are the planes on which the symbols of conditionally forbidden relationships sit. For most people they remain pictures inside comfortable, cosy walls — thanks to satisfaction with one’s own way of living, to fears, or to a lack of understanding of the struggle within.
Rejecting every taboo, the artist draws out spirituality and beauty in humiliated corporeality, trying to convey her own beautiful and clean understanding of a person’s harmonious existence in a world that is pseudo-tolerant, over-moralised, technologised and engaged by politics and marketing.
One step short of the forbidden pornography that lies beyond the edge, there is the aesthetic of erotica, which Tetiana Cherevan handles with mastery and tenderness.
