the epoch we are living in. What is performance - a radical expression
of rebellion against or an instigation to the conventional in art and
culture? Extremism in art against the apathy of survival - does art require
new means today. Has the performance lost its actuality after it'd stopped
being "a new form"?

Forms in Cinema - Possibilities and Potentialities
of the Short Film. Two Cases.
Presentation by David D. Jeroham
The short films are wholly subdued to the main task of the cinema language
- to tell a story for itself. The audience usually associates short films
with etudes ot with exercises in style. From then on we are in "terra
incognita". Is there anything logical in referring to short films
as cinema, why not?

Spirit and Flesh – Andrey Nikolov's Art
A lecture by associate professor Nikolay Boshev, dedicated to the 126
anniversary of Andrey Nikolov's birth.
"We feel elevated by Andrey Nikolov's work even more than the most
complete poetry elates the hearts of young and old... The allurement of
the scultures is not indebted in the impression of the resemblance, they
do not overwhelm with a peculiar posture or ostentatious agitation. Their
blisses, their woes, their tempests are inside. And we like children feel
glad that sometimes our spirit permeates in their inner world." Alexander
Balabanov

The Media Image of the Bulgarian Painter
Ivana Mourdzheva will present the analysis of the image of the painter
prevailing in the generic (public) apprehention. By means of the existing
materials in the non-specialised press Ivana Mourdzheva would sketch the
socially acceptable image of the painter i.e. the image through which
the painter is accepted by society and recognized by the other individuals.
The attention of the presentation is focussed mainly on the mass media:
to what extend they could be responsible for the development of the public
opinion and its adequacy.
