IVANOV + CHAN exhibition @ Mal- und Zeichenschule Wladimir Prib in Berlin, 10.05.2008
painting - Installation - performance "The Circle" was produced on the site

“The Circle" was painted in Berlin. It is the first work of a developing series of panoramic paintings. The following ones will be performed in various locations: in my studio in Papa Westray, on the small deserted island in Northern Sea, in London, in Barcelona and wherever “The Circle” will bring me

"The Circle" is a crossover of nomadic tents and broch of the north

"The Circle" is a trance -paintings – a spinning shaman’s dance in enclosed space

"The Circle" is a 24-hours non-stop performance without public

"The Circle" is a continuous repetitive process of making marks on a canvas, with a growing intensity when each previous mark is creating the move for the following one, and not letting to stop the process, and density is increasing and forcing to continue the dance

When” The Circle" is finished it can be experienced as an interactive construction on the site.
An exterior of “The Circle” is transforming the site and affecting the room, or landscape in various way.
An interior of “The Circle” is a shelter, a womb, cut away from the site. "The Silent Bell" is ready to go on at any moment. An endless panoramic writing

When” The Circle" is unfolded it’s like a huge open up dissected animal. May be some thing else. I’m still searching for the right name.

Some "The Circles" will be shown unfolded, some closed
