KAVANISM SERIES: THE SINGLE INTERRUPTED LINE - The Change by Avi Albers Ben Chamo

Through the Kavanism the single interrupted line comes to represent the ''change'', the crack or the desire to detach from the course of the current stream of things to the point of creating a life of its own. This disengagement requires formidable forces since the current accepted line is heavy and stable and will wipe out and eliminate any attempt to resist or disengage from it. But the process of tectonic detachment from the old generation and its outdated ideas are inevitable, and sooner or later the new ideas are going to get a life of their own in the form of a counter line with a life and desires of their own. The black line on the wall for the viewer is meaningless, an aesthetic dawn line, it is like a gecko, but this line is charged with enormous energy that is interrupted by the beginning of a new independent pure direction.

On the modern artist and the spiritual element 

‏Over time, the artist learns that all the virtual ways for his personal progress and growth do not work. At best, he is forced to understand that his way to self- and spiritual growth is only through society and personal and human encounters. 

Contemporary art is currently limited and dedicated to a dream in which the artist needs to improve his marketing skills more than what he creates for and for whom. The bookshelves are full of books that come to plan the artist to be a source for money and trade and not as a source of expression of the inner soul. 

‏A work of art whose sole purpose is to be sold is meaningless. In "kavanism" or in any art form or "ism".
