Abstract

The article aims to demonstrate the continuity in the first and second Russian avant-garde art regarding the development of the space-time concept. The general method applied in my research follows the theory of “surplus element” developed by Malevich. His ideas and concepts had become a key contribution to the art of the 20th century and continued to influence such novel artistic phenomena as installation, performance and digital art. Transformation of these ideas and concepts appeared to be equally important as the discovery of visual perspective in the art of the Renaissance. Addressing the theoretical works of Kazimir Malevich as well as the philosophical and academic context of his time and the 20th century in general, this article reveals essential ontological links between the first and second Russian avant-garde art, the ideas of the early Russian Suprematists and their evolution today. This is achieved on the example of some living classics of the second Russian avant-garde such as Sergey Bordachev and Alexander Yulikov; works by both artists are in the collections of the Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow, Russia), Saint-Petersburg Russian Museum (Russia), Zimmerli Museum (New Brunswick, USA) and Georges Pompidou Center (Paris, France).
