The ‘First Working Group of Constructivists’ emphasises the importance in the materiality of art – which provides insight, expression and
reflection through ‘application’, the inherent ‘properties’ and the ‘significance’ of the material in said installation (Rodchenko, A. et al. 1922. p342). In conjunction with the material itself, the art must also incorporate such formal qualities as “time, space, volume, plane, colour,
line and light”, (Rodchenko, A. et al. 1922. p342).
