Project "MACROmicron - Limited Infinity"
curator Elitsa Terzieva
part of Project 7x5x3 - Contemporary Bulgarian Painting 2021
seven discussion fields of contemporary Bulgarian painting (catalogue)
March 10 – April 10, 2021
The Gallery of the UBA, 6 Shipka Str.
The 7 х 5 х 3 project brought together 7 curator projects,
presenting 5 authors by 3 works each. It was motivated by the rise of a new
generation of art critics and artists, working in the conditions of a
dynamically changing art scene. In its essence, this was a exploratory project
attempting to find an answer to what is happening today within the broad and
multifaceted space of contemporary Bulgarian painting.
The 7 х 5 х 3 project was an update of the three editions of
the 10 х 5 х 3 project, which is now well in the past. In 2001, 2006 and 2011,
some 30 points of view were proposed and 150 artists were presented who had
contributed to the shaping of new trends in the development of contemporary
Bulgarian painting. This later project involved 7 young art critics who
analyzed and presented arguments about current processes in contemporary
Bulgarian painting. Stanislava Nikolovaʼs Critical Review project drew bridges
between past and present. Five artists presented their artistic reflections on
certain program texts allotted for each of them, written by some of the most
prominent art critics of the 1920ʼs: Sirak Skitnik, Nikolay Raynov and Geo
Milev. @Boriana Valchanovaʼs Nuances presented authors who apply diverse
approaches to the making of their artistic matter, who use non-conventional
materials, techniques and devices. In her project, MACROmicron, Elitsa
Terzieva analyzed how to “master” the infinite and bring it within the
limits of human senses, using the hypersensitivity of artists. Surreal or
Beyond Reality and Rumena Kalcheva posed the question of whether it is possible
to speak of Bulgarian surrealism as a distinct field in contemporary Bulgarian
painting. In Beyond Conception, Suzana Karanfilova constructed her project
around a consciously selected critical position on current events in Bulgarian
art and peopleʼs lives. Valentin Slaveev and his Transcription within Spaces
attempted to find the conventions between a painting, thought of as a closed
space in its material limitations, and its author as an open space, familiar
with his/her own inner world, yet able to transcribe the outer one. In
Figuratively Speaking, Lyuben Domozetsky contemplated on the meaning and the
position of images in contemporary painting. The project was implemented
jointly with the “Painting” section of the UBA. A catalog was published in
Bulgarian and English.
The project was supported financially by the Ministry of
Culture.
