Robert Baramov "In search of contemporary art on 240 cm3", 2015
On Monday, August 31st, 2015, the Bulgarian contemporary
art will be at focus in Venice with 148 Bulgarian contemporary artists
exhibited at Fondazione Giorgio Cini, in the Map of the New Art - Imago Mundi
Exhibition, an extraordinary event aimed at presenting an imaginary mapping of
over 40 countries and regions in the colors of today’s forms of art!
Organized under
the aegis of Benetton Foundation, in conjunction with the 56th Venice Biennale
and the imminent 2015 Venice Film Festival, the exhibition will present the
most outstanding and recent outcomes of the Imago Mundi collection, the first
global project in contemporary art whose main goal is to draw an updated
panorama of the contemporary art phenomenon worldwide on an original format of
10 x 12 cm canvas.
Nestor Kovachev, 'Untitled"
Curated by Claudio Scorretti and Irina Ungureanu, Save
the Dreams, the Bulgarian collection of Imago Mundi, completed recently in the
first half of 2015, showcases the contemporary art of Bulgaria, eastern gate of
the Balkan Peninsula and link between East and West, Europe and Asia Minor, the
Danube and the Black Sea, traditionally a place of transit and of extraordinary
cultural heterogeneity. 148 works of art that reflect the creative fervour and
the imaginative, ironic, joyous and sometimes desperate Bulgarian identity that
is currently under construction. A collection that brings together artists of
different generations and with contrasting aesthetic ideas, painters with a
classical approach to the canvas and contemporary artists for whom the canvas is
merely a tool. Artists living in Bulgaria or who have left the country,
teachers or students for whom the most important thing is freedom of speech and
debate. Published in three languages, the catalogue of the Bulgarian
collection, which has been issued recently, enjoyed, together with the whole
project, the support and expertise of Maria Vassileva, chief curator of the
Sofia City Art Gallery and of Gaudenz B. Ruf, refined collector and founder of
the Ruf Award and Supporting Programme in Contemporary Art, former Ambassador
of the Swiss Confederation in Bulgaria, of artist Elena Panayotova as well as
of the galleries Rakursi, Monev and Arosita from Sofia. The editing and
translation of the catalogue in Bulgarian and English was insured by Irina
Cherkelova.
