Stela Vasileva verticality
…an architect internalizes a building in his body; movement, balance, distance and scale are felt unconsciously through the body as tension in the muscular system and in the positions of the skeleton and inner organs. As the work interacts with the body of the observer the experience mirrors these bodily sensations of the maker. Consequently, architecture is communication from the body of the architect directly to the body of the inhabitant.
Understanding architectural scale implies the unconscious measuring of an object or a building with one’s body, and projecting one’s bodily scheme on the space in question. We feel pleasure and protection when the body discovers its resonance in space.
When experiencing a structure, we unconsciously mimic its configuration with bones and muscles; the pleasurably animated flow of a piece of music is subconsciously transformed into bodily sensations, the composition of an abstract painting is experienced as tensions to the muscular system The structures of a building are unconsciously imitated and comprehended through the skeletal system unknowingly, as we perform the task of the column or the vault with our body.
- Juhani Pallasmaa, “The Architecture of Seven Senses”
Stela Vasileva’s exhibition at +359 Gallery deals with how the body experiences architecture. As a continuation of a long-standing site-specific practice, the artist concentrates on the properties of the water tower, such as its verticality and spiral structure.
Her work is both a response to the form of the gallery, absorbed into her muscles and then transferred into a work of art, but also one that refers back to the tower. It is an invitation to deeply understand the architectural space, engaging all your senses through the body.
The exhibition’s starting point is the ground floor, from which a large-scale sculpture made of metal and glass begins. The location also indicates the only place from which the visitor can see all the floors and the ceiling of the tower at the same time, creating a mental projection of its vertical.
The work explores the dynamics of the building, climbing to its dome, but also the phenomenology of perceptions in this experience - the soft forms sequentially trace the oval of the tower, the visitor’s route through the floors, and the trajectory of his gaze.
Stela Vasileva’s installation can hardly be seen in its entirety - climbing up, the audience assembles fragmentary images, completing the art object in their minds. In this sense, several visual fields intertwine here - that of the work, constantly observed but from a different perspective, and the changing tower, focus, and background mutually replacing each other. Through the work of Stella Vasileva, the tower refracts; the gallery and the work are here in symbiosis. Thus, the artist concentrates on the natural way of experiencing architecture - through movement.

Burnt. Burn. Will Burn. - Boryana Petkova
zhlédnutí 67Před 7 měsíci
"For several consecutive hours, the artist was surrounded by burning coal, trying to write three words on paper using hot coals the past, present, and future tenses of the verb “to burn.” Literally burning herself with each new attempt, the artist could often barely make more than a few chaotic strokes, which is why some drawings resemble doodles or children’s drawings. At times she patted her ...

Галерия 359 има удоволствието да представи самостоятелната изложба на художничката Боряна Петкова. Перформативната практика на Петкова се характеризира със своята продължителност, която не може да бъде отделена от майсторството на рисуването в разширено поле. Сегашната й нова поредица от творби е вдъхновена от ритуалите на Нестинарството, една умираща българска култура от региона на Странджа. З...
