Bodies of Land . Zachari Logan

These works represent milestones in Zachari Logan’s art – the depiction of the male body, the self-portrait as an expression of particular ideas, queer subjects, sexuality, social stereotypes, human presence. In addition to this, the artist has decided to create a series of images on the walls of the gallery. Including the wall drawing into the show adds to its exciting and unexpected artistic choices.

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.

CHANGE THE SCENERY! – solo exhibition by Kaliya Kalacheva
Exhibition of the latest painting experiments of Kaliya Kalacheva.

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.
