Malevich Installation
 Artist Gregory Orekhov reinterprets the ?Black Square? in a new sculpture for Malevich Park located in the Moscow region. Located in the Moscow region, near the settlements of Barvikha and Nemchninovka, a park named after Kazimir Malevich has opened its doors to the public. These countryside landscapes were not only the artist?s favourite vacation spots but also served as inspiration for his later acquired figurative style, which marked the beginning of a new chapter in his art. One of the key elements of the park is a sculpture created by Gregory Orekhov.

Orekhov?s ?Black Square? is the first large-scale monument created in memory of Kazimir Malevich, and a unique example of a contemporary Russian sculpture. Orekhov considered the sculpture?s captured volume and intentionally preserved its ?unnaturalness? against the backdrop of the park, which is the most important characteristic of the object. Orekhov masterfully integrates the work of art within the built environment, all the while connecting the viewer to the architectural space of the landscape. Divided into two parts, Orekhov?s ?Black Square? acts as a passageway into the park. The object itself is quite utilitarian in its nature. According to the artist?s idea, once we enter the ?square?, we find ourselves at a crossroad ? to either enter the park or enter infinity, a crossing between what occurs in real-life and hundreds of its unfulfilled variations.
