BLOOM – solo exhibition of Lyuben Domozetski
Bloom exhibition follows, in a way, that same thread of semantics and genre characteristics seen in Lyuben Domozetski’s debut solo exhibition: this is the scientific illustration and the experiment with it. But it is namely in these experiments, which are the centre of the exhibition, that something new seems to be sneaking in, something different from the ones last year: this is the human presence. The exhibition includes older works as well as such that are site-specific and especially conceived for the current project.

We present to you 20x20 Trans Format, a group exhibition of 20 contemporary Bulgarian artists, limited to creating in 20x20 cm format, but without external interference in their internal state.
CHANGE THE SCENERY! – solo exhibition by Kaliya Kalacheva
Exhibition of the latest painting experiments of Kaliya Kalacheva. Well known for her work with the urban environment and its strict constructions, in recent years the artist has become increasingly tempted by the transition to the natural and the multi-layered dimensions of the landscape. Kaliya suggests a different idea for landscape. It raises the question of the need to "change the landscape" - one of the oldest genres in art, which requires constant updating to be able to keep up with the present.

CO-EXPERIENCING THE WILD – photography exhibition by Bogdan Boev and Ivaylo Zafirov
CO-EXPERIENCING THE WILD is a long-term project of Little Bird Place Gallery, conceived with the intention to present an exhibition dedicated to wildlife photography every year.

Combining the two authors in an exhibition is a great opportunity to dive into this world. The presented photographs show a part of the extremely diverse nature of the Balkans - one, fortunately, still relatively preserved territory of the European continent.
