BCI London cordially invites you to the opening of the exhibition “Personalized traditions”, a project by “Rakursi” Gallery.

This exhibition is kindly supported by the British-Bulgarian Society.

Guests: Rumyana Yoneva and Yavora Petrova

The project presents an innovative look at Bulgarian traditions through the eyes of eight young and mid-career artists: Yavora Petrova, Antonia Angelova, Velislava Gecheva, Zara Alexandrova, Zoran Georgiev, Irma Vodeva, Ivan Kostolov, Pavlin Radevski. They are known for their contemporary visions and innovative practices. They present paintings, objects, installations and drawings.

Curators: Rumyana Yoneva and Yavora Petrova

The globalized world we live in eliminates the boundaries and unifies the signs in the art and at the same time it stimulates the construction of the traditions in a new way. The project presents a contemporary interpretation of the traditions beyond the usual frameworks and understandings, which is different in the way of using images and visual media. The participating artists construct new models in which one can recognize ancient rituals, folklore and symbols by maintaining a dialogue between the specific Bulgarian and the global artistic practices.
