Gallery Cu29, Plovdiv

The exhibition displays works by some of the new-wave Plovdivian artists creating in the field of visual arts. They are part of a self-established artistic community having gradually emerged over the years. They co-participate in various projects and configurations, artistic gestures and pop-up exhibitions. The group of artists has no structured nature, nor is it a legally incorporated entity, but rather represents an informal wide circle of friends, a dynamic living organism that is continuously evolving and sustained over the years. Although most of them work in the same building of studios, the community itself is not linked to the specific location but rather to the ideas, thoughts and friendships it holds. There is an aesthetic and thematic relatedness between some of the artists, but also freedom in the means of expression, modifications, quests, and their growth as authors. Part of the works in the exhibition are pieces that have been exchanged between the artists during the years, while others belong to various collectors.
