Abstract:

This article presents a creative project, initiated and implemented by lecturers and students from the Faculty of Fine Arts at St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo. The project combines two related exhibitions: “Social Environment: The Boundaries of the Conventional” and “Skin: The Boundaries of My World.” The paper proposes a different perspective on the process of drawing and the actual drawing. The artistic practice is analyzed through several aspects: motivation of the participants, justification of the idea, work process, presentation and reflection of the art. These aspects are correlated to the current artistic processes and the perception of contemporary art as a whole. Attention is drawn not only to the nature of the artistic work (Is it a process, continuum, object or fact?), but also to the subject (the artist) and its transformation while creating the work and completing the process through establishing a connection with the recipient.

Keywords:

drawing; subject; object; medium; social environment; boundaries; skin (body); space.
