DESTROYERS CREW

<div>Artists sought to scatter the elements of the game Minecraft all through the district,. <br>&nbsp;<br>Almost all members of this team are family men: they talk about their children with a fainting heart. Their work is a case in point. When the artists saw unit substations, which they were off to turn into art objects, they decided: "As good earth cube as any! Children would be delighted." <br>&nbsp;<br>The district, where the work is embodied, is well known to these guys: "We shinned on these small buildings all childhood". "The whole our life is a game," artists are humming. This is the value of Minecraft cubes. <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

Pokras Lampas

<div>Еhe largest drawing ever created during STENOGRAFFIA occupies an area of 6686 m². To put the artwork's size in perspective: the size of one letter exceeds that of a car. In his calligraphy, Pokras Lampas quoted Kazimir Malevich's manifesto. The drawing was slightly transformed after the work was partially covered with asphalt, and a discussion with the Orthodox community.</div>

When he got to the location he incorporated local reflections into the drawing. Fanakapan depicted an astronaut and added an alien to keep him company.</div>

<div>George Kurinov was an interior designer and illustrator in the past. Now he is an artist and director of two street-art projects.

Paparazzi

<div>This mural is inspired by 1983 movie Wild Style. <br>&nbsp;<br>"Here I depicted my 2.5 years old daughter, Melissa. When she grows up I will support her no matter who she choses to become. If she wants to be a footbal player instead of a graffiti writer, then so be it," says Achilles of Paparazzi Studio. <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

Wild Child

Bozik

<div>Kazan-based artist Damir Bozik created this mural in the technique of pointillism. This mural tells a story of a sable, a predatory animal in the process of hunting a hazel grouse chick. But that is not the main focus here. The sable is leaping after its prey, and it's clear that it will catch the chick. But from the other side, the next link of the food chain is seen: the talons of an eagle seconds away from grabing the sable. Natural selection in the circle of life. This mural makes a rather naive, but valuable point about our life. <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

The Leap

Shozy

<div>Danila places focus on his craftsmanship and the illusion the artwork creates. Additionally, the use of plastic has ecological subtext. It reminds us that we live in a world dominated by plastic, and the tears in the film imply liberation from it. Danila's work is a symbol of freedom from materialism and the need to buy something every day as advertising dictates. In addition, the color palette resembles malachite, a stone associated with the Ural region.</div>

<div>I stumbled upon this question several times. Firstly, it appeared while I studied philosophy in the university, secondly, it re-surfaced in a song by The Last Tanks in Paris (PTVP). I kept on recalling it, thinking of it, and sometimes it even ignited the conversation. Yet, only now, seeing it face-to-face, I realize I am trapped.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>What keeps me wondering is the simple words which comprise the question. This ripped-off clarity (not to be mistaken with modesty), conceived of necessity, makes this question look like a thing that hardly made it past time. As if it is an old building, all ramshackle, yet enduring among generations and the people. Or more like a ship which somehow made it through the fierce storm. What are its origins? Nobody asked this question, it has just appeared from the darkest corner of the world. The letters are lit, yet there is darkness within, it still is. It kicks, pinches and pins, but never lies. It is no tagline, which lies twice: firstly, when it pretends that it leads you; secondly, when you learn that you were misled.<br><br></div><div>So how does the question work? It seems that it functions like a spell. I use it as a navigation system: three answers serve as pathfinders which instantly address the present, the past, and the future. One can overcome time, taking this thin yet strong lines in one's hands. One has got to follow the traces of this ship; otherwise, the time will dismiss you. <br><br>Special project for <a href="http://uralbiennale.ru/">Ural Industrial Biennale</a>, with support of <a href="http://artwingallery.com/">Artwin Gallery</a>.<br><br></div>

<div>Newsagents’ kiosks are favourite surfaces among graffiti-bombers, who create their pictures illegally in the urban space. New graffiti cover the older and after some time kiosks turn out to be all over drawn – this isn’t the best improvement of the urban environment.<br><br>We tried to change graffiti’s bad influence and transformed it to a benefit. When the city falls asleep, the „Rospechat“ kiosks turn to unique art-objects, creating a street-art gallery opened for everyone in the urban environment.<br><br>The Hands painted on kiosk’s shutters is one of exercises in academic painting. In sign language the gesture of the hands means “closed“. <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

No system

<div>There is one thing — the only one to be totally sure about: everything will eventually disappear. The city, the streets, the buildings, even we ourselves and our children.<br>The time will pass and the piers of this grand bridge will go shaky, fall down, fold as domino row.<br><br>This basically means, if things are not eternal — and there are no eternal things — we can change them as we want. Everyone has something unshakable, unchangeable, but it is not true.<br><br>Last move is always yours.</div>

SPEKTR

<div>To create "Proud Streetlight" installation, SPEKTR artists partnered with "Gorsvet" municipal budgetary institution and straightened out one of the streetlights in the garden square next to "Cosmos" cinema and concert hall. The idea of the artwork is explained on the signage beside it: "For as long as humanity has existed, there have been people who have dared to defy their contemporaries. To say "yes" in the face of a million "nos". To argue that the Earth is round, and all of us on it are equal. And when humankind faces global challenges, they refuse to bow under the weight of those circumstances". Bringing this project to life became possible thanks to support from "Tochka" bank for entrepreneurs and enterprises.</div>

Hidden meaning

<div>Project: "Nighttime openspace street art gallery".<br>For his first-ever STENOGRAFFIA festival, Ekaterinburg street artist Sergey Code501 Ermakov, famous for his "kurlyk" (gobble) signature characters, painted a vibrant, eye catching pattern on "Rospechat" kiosk shutters. Sergey tells of it, "Each side of the kiosk is a line of a tetrastich. The motifs are repeated fully or with minor alteration, it is called a refrain. I’ve written a poem about summer without using words".</div>

<div>The invisible graffiti-memorial to the tragically known Kursk submarine disaster.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The 23rd of August 2000 was declared the day of mourning in view of the sinking of Oscar-class submarine K-141 Kursk. Almost two decades ago the crew of the cruise missile submarine should have been rescued, but all the efforts were ineffectual.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>After the death notice, the wave of memorial’s openings and remembering events flowed over the country, but till today there is no symbol, which could comprise power, valour and heaviness of this tragedy.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The graffitit-memorial „Kursk the Unsinkable” is a work, created with a moisture-repellent spray on the wall of city pond. In the rain on its surface appears 11-meter big water-proof lettering “Курск”, which stands for us remembering of the submarine and makes it Unsinkable.&nbsp;<br><br></div>

<div>Each of us has genetic memory of the "golden age", of lost paradise. And through this work the artist reminded us of something perfect, incredibly beautiful. Here's what he says about it: "When I started doing this work, at the beginning of the markup I felt as if I had already experienced that, then in the process I had the same feeling again. At the final stage it repeated." If you start to look at the object from the central wall where the artist painted islands and then turn to the right and go around, you will return to the same place imitating the author's feeling. <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

<div>A bright dispersion radiates across the wall with its smooth vibrating lines. This work impresses everyone with the illusion of depth, movement, and three-dimensionality. Everyone wants to touch this alluring surface to feel the nerve of the city with their own hand. Artist Artem Stefanov and his assistant Ilya Visokosov made every line of the drawing come alive. The inside dynamics of the mural invites the observer to feel the rhythm of a big city and follow its flow.</div>

Dispersion #5

<div>The artwork is based on a mosaic floor in a Roman villa at La Olmeda, which was built in Spain in the mid-4th century AD during the Flavian Dynasty. Neural network, specially trained by Yandex, managed to restore missing elements of the mosaic using machine learning.<br><br>The resulting image was transferred to the facade using a wall printing robot, technology and software for which were developed by a creative team of Stenograffia festival:<br>"The artist who created this mosaic in the 4th Century AD could not even imagine that in about 17 centuries his work would be restored by an intellect of a completely another level and origin. As a result, his work was brought to life after centuries; this means that he is alive in our minds, too. The image created by two machines under our supervision is a message to contemporary artists: just imagine what can happen in future to you and things you create today? It is absolutely impossible to predict how much technology will advance in a couple of centuries. Today, each of us can create something that will be continued later by someone from completely another world’". <br><br>Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyEljvMgX_U<br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

<div>Brazilian George the Victorious, who lives on the moon. <br>&nbsp;<br>Brazilian artist Thiago Mazza created an incredibly evocative work or even more - a picture. <br>&nbsp;<br>The main hero is George the Victorious, a popular figure in Brazil. But according to Thiago he lives on the moon. The artist knew that this symbol is also quite valuable for Russia (after all, it is depicted on coins). This means that George the Victorious is the very symbol that can unite the cultures of the two countries. <br>&nbsp;<br>As a result, the work turned out to be really temperamental and southern, with an incredible level of detail, which Thiago achieved by working mostly with brushes rather than with spray paints. <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

Hot Singles in Your Area

<div>The Hot Singles team created this artwork as an homage to a local street artist's painting. The artwork expresses the sentiment that street art does not lose its value when created legally. Similarly, an illegally painted work of art can fit into the urban space and become a valid part of it. The statement started a dialogue, and for the next several days the text on the wall was changed by unknown people and Hot Singles themselves. The transformation of this artwork was actively followed by residents of the city who also got involved in the discussion. In total, the drawing was changed about 5 times.</div>

My fault

<div>Street artists just use the work of architects for their work, turn their walls into their own canvas. We decided to break this tradition and talk with the help of the wall, about the most important value of the city – about its architecture.<br>&nbsp;<br>This work is our tribute to Soviet modernism, our hope that the revolutionary ideas of the avant-garde will return to our city. We are convinced that the new generation of architects and developers will give the city something more. The city is fed up with glass business centers, tired of the faceless concrete sleeping areas-it is waiting for a new rhythm, waiting for its own sound. <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

<div>New work on your favorite wooden houses at Strelocnikov street. Here an artist from Penza Alexander BLOT has drawn a parallel between a street artist and Don Quixote. Both of them are knights who do good continuously struggling. <br>&nbsp;<br>"I strive for my ideals. Any artist struggles against imaginary rivals and I struggle against those who perceive painting in the streets as evil. My attempt to convey something good is not always successful – some people interpret a painting just as a set of graphic elements and no other way. <br>&nbsp;<br>In addition, in my works you can see the fight against such monsters as various social problems. Each of us struggles on our own. I do everything I can to uphold my ideals through painting. Besides, the house reminded me of a mill. And everybody knows that Don Quixote constantly struggled against windmills." <br><br>Made for the <a href="http://stenograffia.ru/">Stenograffia Festival</a>.</div>

<div>This artwork by German team Labor Fou is about friendship between people from different cities.The motto of this drawing is "Build bridges, not walls". The grey color palette is pierced by bright subway wagons, spray paint can characters, and big white letters: BUILD BRIDGES NOT WALLS. Subway cars symbolically linked the places artists have created in, namely Berlin, Cologne, Dusseldorf, and Yekaterinburg. During the painting process artists made friends with a local boy named Dima, and added his name to the mural. Dima wrote his name in Russian on a piece of paper, and Labour Fou transferred it to the wall.</div>
