Manipulating living organisms in painting

V diplomski nalogi sem se ukvarjala z raziskovanjem manipuliranja živih organizmov v sliki. Da bi lahko opredelila pojem žive slike, sem se na začetku posvetila pojmom konceptualna umetnost, bioart, okoljska umetnost, transumetnost in intermedijska umetnost. Osredotočila sem se tudi na nekaj umetnikov, ki sodijo v različne omenjene stile in so mi bili v navdih pri raziskovanju ter ustvarjanju naloge. Kot reference sem si izbrala Majo Smrekar, Polono Tratnik, Anjo Jerčič Jakob, Roberta Cuoghija ter Alana Sonfista, saj se lahko na različnih aspektih poistovetim z njihovim delom. Poleg splošnega opisa umetnikov sem izpostavila tudi eno ali dve njihovi deli, s katerimi se lahko bolj konkretno povežem preko lastnega umetniškega ustvarjanja. Tekom naloge sem ustvarila osem živih slik, jih dokumentirala s fotografijami ter proces zadnje zabeležila z videom. V drugem delu naloge so opisani tudi postopki, s katerimi sem ustvarila žive slike.In this degree paper I was engaged in researching the manipulation of living organisms in painting. In order to define the concept of living painting, I devoted to concepts such as conceptual art, BioArt, environmental art, TransArt and intermedia art. I have also focused on a few artists who fall into the various aforementioned styles and have inspired me in reasearch and creation. As reference I chose Maja Smrekar, Anja Jerčič Jakob, Roberto Cuoghi and Alan Sonfist, because I can identify with their work in different aspects. In addition to the general description of the artists, I also highlighted one or two of their work, which can be more concretely linked through my own artistic creation. I created eight living paintings in the course of the task, documenting them with photographs and the process of last painting I documented with video. The second part of the task describes the procedures that I used to create living paintings
