Entrance to the Malevich Black Square Without the Fifth Sense:
Art Manifesto
Preamble: Art is a realm beyond the tangibility of form, sound, and touch. It transcends perception,
challenging the limits of our sensory experience. This manifesto seeks to explore a radical entry into Kazimir Malevich’s “Black Square,” not as a physical object, but as a metaphysical void-an abstraction
stripped of the fifth sense: touch.
The Future of Art: Art must abandon its obsession with physicality to progress. The Black Square
symbolizes this future, a beacon of art unshackled from sensory constraints. By excluding touch, we open portals to unseen dimensions.
Conclusion: To enter the Black Square without the fifth sense is to surrender to the immaterial. It is an act of radical detachment, a step into the unknown. Here, art is not touched; it is understood. It is not felt; it is realized. The Black Square, once a canvas, now becomes a boundless expanse of possibility.

The Black Square as a Portal: Malevich’s “Black Square” is more than a painting; it is an entry point into the infinite. It denies representational reality, inviting the viewer into a dimension where form collapses into pure essence. To enter the Black Square without touch is to renounce material interaction and embrace
pure cognition.
Sensory Minimalism: The fifth sense-touch-anchors us to the physical world. Its absence fosters
detachment from the corporeal and liberates us into a space of mental and spiritual abstraction. The act of rejecting tactile experience mirrors the Suprematist quest to transcend representation.
The Supremacy of Perception: Without touch, art becomes a dialogue of light, shadow, and intellect. The Black Square demands we perceive through inner vision, allowing sight, sound, taste, and smell to meld into a synesthetic journey. It asks: What remains when the physical ceases to exist?
Void as Creation: The absence of the fifth sense is not deprivation; it is creation. By relinquishing the need to touch, we birth new modes of understanding. The Black Square becomes a womb for conceptual rebirth, a space where imagination thrives unbound.
Art Beyond the Flesh: Suprematism declares the end of representational art. In this manifesto, we declare the end of tactile dependence. Art is no longer confined to pigment and canvas; it exists in the ephemeral, the intangible-a vibration in the void.
The Viewer as Creator: Without touch, the viewer’s role transforms. One does not “feel” the Black Square; one becomes it. In this immersion, art ceases to be an object and evolves into an experience-an
extension of the self.
