Bulart`s annual awards / Годишните награди на Буларт

Знакът на „Буларт” тази година ще принадлежи на Биляна Рубинова заради смелите й и провокативни дебютни проекти,ще го носи и Фред Л`Епее от Швейцария, заради деликатните метафизични послания във филмите си.

* Знакът на Буларт преминава от ръцете на Самуил Стоянов към Биляна Рубинова. Знакът на Фред Л`Епее ще лети за Швейцария от Италия, изпратен от Александра Арно, предишния носител на отличието.

Биляна Рубинова провокира вниманието ни с проекта си “Masterpiecelessness” /„Безшедьовърността”  като липса на честно изкуство, подменено с материалистичен ексхибиционизъм, щедро оправдан чрез излагането му в съврененните пространства"/, представен на contempo 2012,

а Фред Л`Епее - с филма си "Остров", част от програмата на миналогодишното издание на "Видеохолика". /"Дистанцията, като вечна геометрия, която контролира нашия начин на живот и възприемане.В отговор, ние създаваме движение. Чрез това движение, ние използваме паметта в нашата система от възприятия в целта си да си представим нашата свобода, нашите социални борби, нашето изгнание.Ние принадлежим към този път. И го използваме като крайна форма на съществуване. Идеалът е определен.Вълните винаги се появяват в нас ...", из концепцията на филма "Остров"/
Двамата артисти участваха в годишнта изложба на Буларт "Екология на паметта/ случаен проект", с която галeрията влезе в своята 17-та годишнина.

Всяка година по традиция от създаването си през 1996 г галерия Буларт галерия изразява своята съпричастност към творчеството на даден художник, поверявайки му знакът на галерията. Малката сребърна значка- и бижу и лого използва глаголическият символ на Твореца. Триъгълник с кръг на върха, композирани в квадрат, като символ на единството (триъгълника), хармонията (кръга) и устойчивостта (квадрата), краткотрайността на материята и силата и вечността на духа. Отличителният знак на Буларт е преходен . Носителят на отличието от предишната година го предава на настоящия носител, който следващата година ще има задължението да предаде „щафетата” на следващия творец.  Знакът на Буларт има нематериално изражение и е предимно духовен и емоционален акт на признание и съпричастност.

The sing is composed into a square and symbolizes also the unity (triangle), harmony (circles) and stability (square); short-of matter and the strength and eternity of the spirit. The silver insignia is transitional. The winner of the previous year will give the award to the new winner and next year he has a duty to forward it to the next winner.
