"So Close, So Far", part II
In 2013 the exhibition "So Close, So Far" for a second year gathers Bulgarian artists living abroad in order to present their works to the Bulgarian audience at the National Palace of Culture.
The artists presented this year are: Antonia Duende, Vasilena Gankovska, Vikenti Komitski, Lyubomir Ivanov-Bashtata, Maximilian Pramatarov, Milena Neubert, Nicola Velchov, Sandra Stoycheva, Stanka Jeleva, Tanya Angelova and Christo Guelov.
The exhibition is a continuous attempt (in repetition) to gather in one place and consolidate within a common thematic framework Bulgarian artists who live and wrote in different parts of the world. The concept of a creative platform which brings together Bulgarian artists contribute to the promotion of both their names and their art "at home".
National Endowment Fund "13 Centuries Bulgaria" is the main initiator of the exhibition this year , together with the National Palace of Culture and the State Agency for Bulgarians Abroad, with the kind support of the Sofia Development Association.
"So Close, So Far" is an attempt to build a flexible matrix for creative projects to be implemented in the future in various fields an areas of art and culture, and thereby to achieve sustainability in the cultural spaces and give birth to creative ideas.
