Almanac of the Creative Union "IRIY"

The visual research focuses on the study of creative associations' manifestos in the context of world art and design. The research objects are magazines, almanacs containing the manifestos of artistic groups and movements, as well as works of art created within the frameworks of these manifestos. The study covers the period from the late 19th century to the early 21st century, exploring both traditional and non-traditional art forms within the context of approved manifestos. It aims to find a connection between the visual language, the created objects of art, and the position of artistic associations within society.Using graphic design tools, artists create a consistent style and language that helps convey the content of the conceptual part of a manifesto, a curated text, or essay. However, the hypothesis that the members of associations always fulfill the promises described in a manifesto was not confirmed. Instead, it was found that the manifesto does not impose clear rules in its form but rather serves as an image story that helps form a visual language and identity for an association, as well as its position in society and target audience.
