The integrated artistic message formulated in the field of various media and the specificity of the complex creative process have become a challenge for the next stage of searching for relations between the artwork and architectural space. The study of the relationship of the hybrid artistic message with the space of its exhibition as part of the exhibition entitled “Record of space. Metamorphoses of trace” revealed new levels of interpretation. The exhibition project was based on the fundamental treatment of the context in which the artistic record functions, and the idea of using the primary role of the relationship between the artistic object and the environment in the exhibition arrangement was deepened on the semantic and symbolic levels, changing the semantics of the space. An artistic message based on the idea of searching for the relationship of a trace in painting and in nature, set in an exhibition context, is to serve the purpose of creating formal, conceptual and symbolic relationships resulting from the interaction between the artwork and the place of its exhibition.
