Anton Kozlov Collection
V–A–C Sreda online magazine completes its three-month programme dedicated to the interrelation of art, technology, and landscape. In this issue, we publish a work by the sculptor Roman Sakin from Anton Kozlov’s collection.
The Forest is one of the objects of controlled sculpture (С. S.), which consists of movable parts, a score with a recorded sequence of their positions and a control panel. Through controlled sculpture, Sakin explores the structure of the object and its plastic interaction with space and man: a composition of sticks, boards, and other materials builds up into a kind of poem or becomes a silent musical instrument.
