the end - 2012
medal project of the Medallic Sculpture Studio Sofia
The traditional project held annually by MSSS at the National Academy of Art continues in 2012 under a new title THE END.
This is the seventh edition of the project, which consists of seven sessions held from February to May and from October to December. In the academic year 2011-2012, the students at the studio are also seven and so, each of them has titled a session asking one of the numerous questions concerning the “end”: why, who, when, how...
Much like previous projects, this one is open not only to the Medallic Sculpture Studio Sofia but also to other students, teachers and guest artists. Works of art to be included in each session must be submitted not later than the 15th day of each of the above-mentioned months.
Foreign participants need to submit only a digital photograph of their works at the following email address: bogomilnikolov@unitednet.bg
Each medallic session closes with a one-day exhibition at the National Academy of Art and the publication of a poster catalogue, both electronic and printed, which will be available here.
INTERNATIONAL MEDALLIC PROJECT 2012
The Medal and Small Sculpture Forms Studio at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń in Poland invites all fine art colleges, academies and universities to participate for free at the international medallic project in 2012 intitled Signs of the Time.
It is a continuation of previous international projects titled Home in 2011, Time in 2010 and Dialogue in 2009. The aim of international cooperation is to propagate medal art. Realization of mutual tasks allows the exchange of experience and gives the opportunity to confront students’ work from different universities.

MEDALLIWOOD
medal project of the Medallic Sculpture Studio Sofia
MSSS’s “Medallic marathon” continued in 2011. The immense interest in the project, the considerable number of participants and the incredible amount of medals (about 1700) created over the past five years under this international project prompted Professor Bogomil to choose this humorous title for the new 2011 Medal Project – Medalliwood. Of course, MSSS’s medallic production is far from commercial but rather purely experimental and it would be more appropriate to call the new project “Experimetalliwood”.
The project consists of seven medallic art sessions – from February to May and from October to December. Although the participants in the project enjoy full freedom of choice of subject, materials and techniques, each session has its own theme, setting a framework of particular universal problems. The idea is for each of the seven medallic sessions, and respectively exhibitions, to have an atmosphere of its own. Furthermore, different approaches to and interpretations of the same subject are of great interest to students.
BAMS STUDENT MEDAL PROJECT
The Student Medal Project is organised by the British Art Medal Society to encourage and promote the art of making medals throughout art colleges in Great Britain. Each year over one hundred medals, from fifteen art colleges, are judged for prizes and selection for exhibition. The Royal Mint and the Worshipful Company of Founders are among the institutions that support the project. A catalogue is published, which includes entries for everyone who participates and stands as a record for those at the start of their artistic careers.
This year one of the medals awarded a prize was entitled Beach Bum's Battered Bus, and was by Luke Plant a student of Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton.
