LIBERTILE is art for each and everyone. The main idea of the project is to transform ordinary bricks into contemporary and unique art objects, available not only to a private club of collectors, but also to the public.
Brick-shaped exhibition hall has been created exclusively for this event resembled the mansion from Drake's Toosie Slide video, which the artist shot being self-isolated.

«I'm an eclectic artist. In my craft I prefer to mix elements and experiment with different materials. This time around I took an ordinary industrial feature which was a brick and turned it into a segment of art. The idea of exhibiting it in a regular white-walled gallery seemed too boring to me. Not like I have anything against it, but it was just not meant for this project. While looking for a special place to display my art I came up with an idea of an exhibition in an actual video game. A lot of people are hanging out in a web space rather than in art galleries nowadays. So I decided to deliver my ideas to their habitat. Minecraft was an obvious solution since in this game everything is made of pixel bricks which definitely rhymes well with the concept of Libertile».
