Painting as a space in the exhibition "VOLUME" of Kaliya Kalcheva and Gergana Tabakova in the "Kapana" gallery

On September 10 at 18:00, the artists Kalia Kalcheva and Gergana Tabakova will open their joint exhibition "VOLUME" in the "Kapana" gallery of the City Art Gallery - Plovdiv (Str. "Raiko Daskalov" No. 29).

VOLUME is an exhibition about painting as a space rather than painting as part of the space. It is a pint creative product ofartists Kaliya Kalacheva and Gergana Tabakova who rethink the concepts of the avant-garde from the early 20th century about the relationship between architecture and geometric abstraction. The installation was created over a period of 11 months, during which the two artists were in constant dialogue but respected each other's personal understanding of the selection and use of materia’ and the compositional decisions. They tried to look for diverging approaches and bring them toa crossing point while building the common work.

In the Volurne installation, multipk columns build up a rhythmic structure in space in which one can walk around and experience the sense of a spacethat is both integral and made up of discrete internal fragrnents.

In addition to their installation “Volume”, the artists also present works related to the journey from two-dimensional to three-dimensional practices, from detail to object.

The exhibition is implemented in partnership with Advertising Artists and with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture.
