'People tend to actively argue about the least important things. This statement shouldn't be considered as an argument, but one can keep in mind that each of the authors tries to overcome the 'street': one – the imposed one, the other – the real one. Which can create a sense of polemics, if not antagonism. But it's just a feeling. Nothing is distinctly or clearly defined. Each phrase is linked with the search for the Truth. Or something in that vein. Perhaps, the Void that, from a certain viewpoint, is, in fact, the Truth. Perhaps, there's no search at all. Why are they doing it then? Well, it's interesting to see what happens' - Valery Chtak.
'What do I know about Valera and what awaits me? I've known Valera for a long time and I don't know him well enough. I think he is great, I respect him, I envy him and I am sсeptical about him. But I don't know him well. Only some superficial facts which I most likely misinterpret due to my carelessness. He used to smoke a lot and was an apologist of smoking, then he quit and it was a piece of cake. He paints words and sentences on canvases in different non-mainstream languages like Serbian or Latin. Some critical interpreters associate him (I say 'some' not to omit someone's names, but simply because I don't remember who they were and whether they existed at all) with graffiti for some reason, while the more superficial ones – with Basquiat. In 2012 he said 'no to street art' but received a paint marker as a gift and was repeatedly seen legally painting corrugated sheets and a brick wall with a spray can. He repeatedly declared that he was afraid of the streets, but he declared it passionately and boldly in his own way. Maybe it was just a pose. What else? There must be something else. We have known each other for 12 years, after all. Maybe we will even create a good artwork. But it's not really that important' - Kirill Lebedev (Kto).
