Address: 9 Usacheva St., Moscow
Liminality is a state of transition, an interstitial phase between two distinct states of being—whether of an individual, a community, or a situation.
The human consciousness is inherently dual: we often circle a question from multiple sides, only to second-guess our choices and mentally retrace the roads not taken. In art, the liminal path generates a unique, often mystical atmosphere of forking possibilities, tied to abandoned sites and the thresholds between past, present, and future.
These transitional moments arise in states of stillness or on the precipice of a significant choice, when the mind is receptive and feelings are charged with ambivalence. In their practice, artists frequently navigate these points of bifurcation—critical junctures where a system can leap into a new order of complexity, toward chaos or a new coherence. This is a point of no return, where the slightest gesture can precipitate profound change.
The artists in this project excavate the hidden strata of possible realities, engaging with their mystique and meditative ephemerality. Their works suggest that our perception of the world exceeds binary frameworks. Drawing on post-structuralist thought, they challenge stable structures and fixed centers, positing that all meaning is provisional and context-dependent, and every system remains subject to deconstruction.
Their pieces propose a fundamental insight: every interpretation is intermediary, and the liminal path has no absolute destination.
Featured artists: Andrey Novikov, Anton and Artyom Matveyevy, Vladimir Migachev, Viktor Sergey, Ekaterina Pashkevich, Tengiz Shamov, Temur Shardemetov.
