Aleksandr Rodchenko: Construction of the Future

CONSTRUCTION IS THE CONTEMPORARY WORLDVIEW.
ART is one of the branches of mathematics, like every other science.
CONSTRUCTION is the contemporary requirement for the ORGANIZATION and utilitarian use of material.
A CONSTRUCTIVE LIFE IS ART OF THE FUTURE.

- Alekssandr Rodchenko, Slogans, 22 February 1921.

Destroy, be creators, do not be afraid of losing anything, because the distructive spirit is a constructive spirit and your revolutionary march will give you the strength of creative inventiveness, and the way, your way, of the creation of the creation of revolution shall be dazzling.

-Anti [Rodchenko's nom de plume], "Bud'te tvartsami!" [Be creators], Anarkhiya, no61, 17 May 1918.

Constructivism/Lineism:

• Let art address production.

• Art that is useless for life should be consigned to the museum of antiquites. It is time for art to become an intergral part of life.

• The time has come for art to fuse with life in an organized manner. Down with art as a way of distancing oneself from life.

-Constructivist slogans from 1921.

Went to this photography/art exhibition at La Pedrera when I was in Barcelona. This Russian dude, Aleksandr Rodchenkndo, produces works and concepts that are very interesting and matches a lot to my liking. This is how art can contribute to the development of our society. This is how it should be.
