The problem of arts as emanation of the community continues
being of value to the members of the ‘7+1’ Art Group. One of the most interesting
exhibits at this year’s Youth Exhibition at the 6 ‘Shipka’ str Art Gallery
is their composition ‘Membrane – Compression – Semi-permeability ‘consisting
of arranged in a chessboard manner strips of transparent wrapping foil, symbolically
barring the way to the staircase of the gallery. Extremely laconic and aesthetic,
it is perceived as a symbol of the difficult transition from the outside
to the inside of a certain space crammed with conflict, prejudice and passion
of decades’ lasting. The sense of lightness and filminess and at the same
time of an impassable bar, very precisely evokes the tension, concentrated
in this particular space.
