V–A–C Sreda online magazine presents a new three-month programme dedicated to the interrelation of art, technology, and landscape. In this issue, we publish photographs of the Color—Form—Space exhibition at the Joint Committee of Graphic Artists, which presented works by Francisco Infante-Arana, a renowned kinetic artist.

The Infante-Arana’s geometric installations and objects are based on metaphors of infinity and space, as well as on the concept of artefact—an artificial element embedded in the natural landscape, in which nature represents eternity, and the object symbolises the technical side of the world. The attempt to find one’s place in the infinity of space, to relate oneself to it is the theme at the centre Francisco Infante-Arana’s work. According to the artist, though “time permeates all human existence, ” it remains a relative, incomprehensible value.

Three-dimensional geometric installations by Infante-Arana can be seen on the Prospekt and Square of GES-2 House of Culture until January 12, 2025 as part of the Celestial Artefacts project.
