АБСТРАКТНАЯ МАШИНА ИСКУССТВА ХУДОЖНИКОВ «КРУГА ГЛАЗГО»

Abstract

This article attempts to analyze and interpret the art of the artists of the “Glasgow circle” of the early 21st century in order to determine its unique features and originality. The philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, as interpreted by such authors as Simon O'Sullivan, Stefan Zepke and Manuel Delanda, was chosen as a possible theoretical framework. The first part of the article is devoted to introducing basic concepts and defining the key stages of our research. The main part of the article presents a general analysis of the works of artists of the “Glasgow circle”, identifies the main type of segmentation of matter in their works, and also examines the space they create. In the final part of the article we explore a number of territorial motifs in the work of specific artists from the Glasgow circle, such as Martin Boyce, Clare Barclay and Carla Black. This analysis allows us to see exactly how the abstract art machine of these artists works and how the effect of “mysterious sadness” and melancholy that their installations produce on the viewer is created. As a conclusion, we define the abstract machine of the art of these artists as a “internal landscape.”
