Student workshop brings together a team of students tutored by Snežana Zlatković as an upgrade of one-semester research through drawing in the final year of study at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture.
It proposes the actual building of a drawing in space via a workshop, and aims at posing questions regarding this years’ competition brief by Kolektiv Gallery “And yet it moves – On liminal drawing issues.”

The drawing starts from the wall, as an atypical context and scale to which it should act. It refers to its erosive character as one that should be preserved in its original form, or as one whose erosion should be further stimulated by movement. A new layer is created – a linear structure at a certain, variable distance from the wall. Between the linear creation and the wall as an existing condition, a new element is introduced as a mediator and transmitter. The linear structure also carries with it a number of moving points that change the character of the line.
The purpose of the drawing is to examine the mobility of the line in relation to sound, and to reveal, through reading, the intertwining, and passing of both visible and invisible traces that arise from moving, stretching, tensing the set layers of the drawing. The context in which the drawing emerges allows it a specific tactile character that tends to attract visitors who by pulling linear and dotted string elements, would naturally produce sound, while leaving a trace on the new element, on the material which is placed behind the first layer of the drawing. Each movement of the drawing produces a sound that, when it meets the wall, creates irregularities, traces, cracks on the layers of installed materials, but also on those parts of the wall that remain free.
The excerpts remain after the exhibition, as a separate newly formed, archival layer of drawings whose appearance, a shape, cannot be predicted, as it depends on the degree of reaction to the drawing itself on the spot. The drawing is followed by a record on its creation, which indicates the unstable flow of its emergence via written words.

Sound Drawing okuplja tim studenata pod mentorstvom Snežane Zlatković, kao nadgradnju jednosemestralnog istraživanja kroz crtež na završnoj godini studija na Arhitektonskom fakultetu Univerziteta u Beogradu.
Crtež je izgrađen kroz radionicu kao otvaranje pitanja na ovogodišnji raspis konkursa galerije Kolektiv And yet it moves – On liminal drawing issues.

Crtež počinje od zida, kao atipičnog konteksta i razmere u okviru kojih treba da deluje. Odnosi se prema njegovom erozivnom karakteru kao onom koga treba sačuvati u svom izvornom obliku, ili pak kao onom čija nagrizanja treba dodatno stimulisati pokretom. Kreira se nov sloj – linearna struktura na određenom, promenljivom odstojanju od zida. Između građenja linearnog i zida kao postojećeg stanja postavlja se nov element kao medijator i prenosilac zvuka. Linearna struktura nosi sa sobom i niz pomerljivih tačkastih elemenata koji menjaju karakter linije.
Namera crteža je da ispita pokretljivost linije u međuodnosu sa zvukom, da čitanjem otkrije preplitanja i mimoilaženja kako vidljivih, tako i nevidljivih tragova koji nastaju od pomeranja, razvlačenja, natezanja postavljenih slojeva crteža. Kontekst u kome crtež nastaje dozvoljava mu specifičan taktilni karakter koji teži da privuče posetioce koji bi povlačanjem linearnih i tačkastih nanizanih elemenata prirodno proizvodili zvuk, a istovremeno ostavljali trag na novom elementu, materijalu koji je postavljen iza prvog sloja crteža. Prilikom svakog pokreta crteža nastaje zvuk koji u svojoj završnici kada se sretne sa zidom stvara neravnine, tragove, pukotine na postavljenim slojevima materijala, ali i na onim delovima zida koji preostaju slobodni.
Odlomci ostaju i nakon izložbe, kao poseban novoformirani, arhivski sloj crteža čiji se izgled, stanje ne može predvideti, jer zavisi od stepena reakcije na sam crtež na licu mesta. Crtež prati i zapis o građenju crteža koji kroz tekst ukazuje na nestatičan tok njegovog nastanka.
