Part 3 | New Ecologies
Billy Mateeva, Elena Nazarova, Maria Nalbantova
4 July – 10 August 2023
The third and final exhibition of the project “New Ecologies” presents works by Billy Mateeva, Elena Nazarova and Maria Nalbantova, which pay attention to the way we use nature, whether in a ritual or political context. Often instrumentalized, the nature is at the centre of utopian political ideas, used in the “innocent” rituals of diplomacy, or is inextricably linked to beliefs in which the culture–nature dichotomy does not exist.

Part 2 | New Ecologies
Martin Atanasov, Marina Genova, Cédric Van Parys
23 May – 29 June 2023
The second part of “New Ecologies” presents installations by Martin Atanasov, Marina Genova and Cédric Van Parys, each of which opens up a different perspective on ecology as a hybrid environment and questions the nature-culture dichotomy we have inherited from modernity. The works of the three artists address the interactions, entanglements, engagements, and experiences in what surrounds us – including what is inside us as an inseparable part of – and question what kind of world we actually want to live in.
