In the opinion of the "Sessio-Art'2003"
organizers the worthiest review of the event is
an article by Elena Pavlova in an independent
newspaper "Vitebsky Kurier". By the
author's permission we quote some of participants'
responses
"Sessio-Art" encourages students to
be daring and independent in their creative work.
It's not a demonstration of some schools but an
opportunity to express one's individuality. I
recognized my students here not by their works
but by their names only. And I think it's great!
NICKOLAY GUGNIN,
a Jury member
"When I got an invitation I was sure I would
see something absolutely fascinating. And I turned
to be right. In every single work the talent of
both student and teacher could be seen. I liked
most graphics, sculpture and personal projects"
SYLVIE LEMASSON,
a councilor of the Embassy of France in Belarus
"In main exhibition Hall of the Academy
of Arts in Riga student's exhibitions are held
annually. In "Basteis" gallery are showed
some art works of students too. But there is no
such art festivity like "Sessio-Art"
there. That is why I consider it a fabulous event.
We like everything here: people, town, art! We're
just delighted with all this.

ELENA LAVRINOVICH , participants of
the contest, Riga
The participation of Latvian students in "Sessio-Art"
became possible thanks to PETERIS
GEMS, a president of open public foundation
"Radigars"
"An administrative support was up to the
mark, both from the Consulate of Latvia in Vitebsk
and from Belarusian Embassy in Latvia. I would
like Latvian business community to turn face upon
culture relationship between our counties. In
fact just Latvian foundation "Culture capital"
and I provided moneyed assistance for this event.
"Undoubtedly, most of works in this exhibition
are accordant to modern art tendencies. At the
same time there are some distinctive features
like "culture of colour" in painting,
sculpture and in applied art works as well. It's
obvious, all the participants of "Sessio-Art"
are well-informed people, and the only thing to
regret is insufficiently developed discussion
field. Actually, it's splendid that there's an
opportunity for communication between creative
people from Belarus, Russia and Latvia, for mutual
enrichment. Everything they see here is estimated
and absorbed, so it helps each of them to open
energetically and to develop".
MIKHAIL BOROZNA
- pro-rector of the Belarusian State Academy of
Arts
"My long experience of work in the National
Museum of Republic of Belarus taught me that one
should have tolerant approach to all the art directions
and to find some merits in any of them. A language
of fine art, just like any other language lives
in its own time and certainly changes. In case
it doesn't happen, this language comes to decay
and dies. For example, there's English language,
French, Russian and side by side with them there's
Latin language. It's a language too, but it's
used to a much smaller extent, though nobody can
reject its advantages. The same thing we see in
art, the most important are pictorial qualities
and competence. Everybody follows his own way.
In spite of the fact that we are different and
live in different countries, where various art
schools exist, all of us are integrated into the
world art process. We absorb it and we live in
it whether we want it or not".
