Make ART Great Again - A project supporting art and artists

Our research relies on two paradigms of consciousness: the strict logic of cause-and-effect relations and the spontaneous emotional world, beyond calculation. The mechanism of dualism on planet Earth allows a choice that defines the paradigm of existence of the ancient essence, the very core within humans, animals, or other forms of life.

In other, more accessible words, we explore the factor of art’s influence on the preference for choosing the path of Ruh (Arabic روح — spirit; Hebrew analogue — ruach רוח) — in Islam, Ruh signifies the spirit and is often used as a synonym for the term nafs (“soul”).

Emotion is a spontaneous form of energy arising from the interaction of a reaction to an event or object that determines its vector — destruction or creation, formation or entropy. In art, everything begins with the creation of a work — a painting, a musical score, a novel’s story, or a film script. These four unique tools allow the author to fill an invisible vessel, existing beyond the object, with emotional and intellectual intent. Think of it as a cloud service of additional data, as an allegory.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

- Paul Cézanne (1839 - 1906)

Creative inspiration

Inspiration for a work of art can be seen as the attempt to grasp an emotion towards an object or theme. Imaginary or real. A theme filtered through emotions takes form on the canvas, becoming something material that speaks to the viewer in the universal language of feelings.

- Anatoli Gostev (1946-2022)

An emotion created by the author “out of nothing” is a spontaneous impulse that triggers a chain reaction of inner response and the birth of a different emotional energy. Painting is a vector — a ray of direction. It quietly shapes choice and the trajectory of further movement of consciousness. So… Make ART Great Again!

The Marketing of Sorting

In a universe more than 13 billion years old, civilizations have formed and evolved about which there is simply nothing left to speculate. Basic scaling calculations of the Drake equation suggest the probability of billions of advanced worlds existing in the cosmos — each with its own vectors of morality, ethics, and original paradigms of creation or destruction. This implies that a singularity of knowledge has long existed in the universe, carrying with it the potential to influence the formation of cause-and-effect relationships.

Once the level of singularity is reached, such consciousness encounters no barriers — it can embed itself into the very fabric of the universe, adjusting causes to shape outcomes. Even if those causes are the thoughts of the powerful.

– Anatoli Gostev Jr.

Everything has its explanation or its theory. Among them is one mentioned in a video about the origin of artificial intelligence — that we are living in the era of sorting marketing. Love for art is a kind of “insurance” we help to obtain — insurance against emotionless emptiness.

Patronage

We explore artworks for their emotional depth. The materials of artistic creation are connected with the author’s thoughts and emotions at the moment of creation. By popularizing true art and separating it from empty, soulless images, we strive to attune people to the perception of the emotional phenomenon. When planning exhibitions, we carefully select venues and target audiences, seeking an investor for the creation of the art center “ENTAXY”. We support and promote those who feel, think, and live deeply while creating. And we treat with irony PR gestures declaring themselves as art—such as canned sharks or bananas taped to walls—calling such works “exercises around emptiness.”

A painting is a showcase of the artist; anyone can see the showcase, and you may pass by it, but if suddenly you wish, you can stop and enter inside. Inside lies the soul of the artist, and you can understand their message to you.

- Anatoli Gostev (1946–2022)

Anatoli Gostev left this world on January 15, 2022, leaving behind beauty and a luminous memory. He entrusted his family with fulfilling several wishes before saying: “if we are not completely distorted.” The dynasty continues this mission through the project “Make ART Great Again.” One of those wishes was relocation and the acquisition of a meaningful space. Hence the fundraising effort — to which Donald Trump is unlikely to contribute. Selflessness is hardly in fashion, yet one may still ask: what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, if his soul remains empty?
