  • THE BLUSHING VALLEY

    A SOLO EXHIBITION BY GERY GEORGIEVA
    9 DECEMBER 2017 – 11 FEBRUARY 2018
    Valleys are productive regions. Cultivated lands. Valleys are warm, lush, sheltered areas. Every so often, at dusk they seem to suck the sluggish, hot and heavy sky down their sloped walls as the sun retracts its rays, then you might say the valley is melancholic.

  • DOMUS AUREA

    Sofia art Weekend in COLLABORATION with ÆTHER
    ÆTHER & SWIMMING POOL
    28 – 30 SEPTEMBER 2017
    Domus Aurea, or the “Golden House” was the name of a palace built by Emperor Nero in the heart of the ancient Rome. Its interior was truly marvelous: The rooms were covered in dazzling polished marble. There were pools on the floors and fountains splashing in the corridors. Frescoed walls, stuccoed ceilings, semi-precious stones and ivory veneers, above all – golden leafing was part of to the extravagant decoration.

  • IT IS FOREVER OURS

    AN EXHIBITION BY STEFANIA BATOEVA AND GORAN CHANTER
    OFF-SITE: DAVID DALE GALLERY GLASGOW
    7 JULY – 5 AUGUST 2017
    You might have been here before. The pontoon, rising over a smooth sea, reflections of glaring sun, magnum surface, bliss. Did we ever believe in an aligned past, present and future to entirely saturate our presence? Now, it seems like we are totally fine with having it all ending.
  • MY DEAR PROVINCIALIST

    AN EXHIBITION BY VALKO CHOBANOV, KRASIMIRA KIROVA, DIMITAR SHOPOV, TRIFON TASHEV, MARTINA VACHEVA, INA VALENTINOVA
    12 APRIL – 18 JUNE 2017
    Last year, I loosely messaged few of you, proposing to meet. Soon we sat together – spending a few evenings on the benches in front of Crystal Club, later gathering in Dimitar’s studio in Plovdiv. Fine, let’s do a show, you told me, but all together, as a group. And, we’d call ourselves “Provincialists”.
