PORTOFOLIO REVIEW
The portfolio review session was dedicated to art students and emerging visual artists. The portfolio is the cohersive, unitary collection of artworks that an artist identifies as being most representative. This carefully assembled collection of completed works and projects serves as the basis of the evaluation process – aimed at identifying the in-depth development of the artist himself.Young artists, wishing to introduce their works in an international artistic context were offered the opportunity to meet the review committee, to get a professional feed-back through open discussions, to establish and develop new contacts which would widen their creative perspectives.A 15-minutes interactive presentation with the reviewers was scheduled for each applicant.
