ONLINE PROJECT
Studio hopping with ... Mitch Brezounek
In the fourth edition of Studio hopping with ... we are going to visit the studio of Mitch Brezounek. He is born in France in 1989 and is based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Mitch is one of the artists that Sariev Gallery presented in 2019 in the exhibition Background: Young Artists from Plovdiv and at the end of 2020 in the exhibition FORCE OF ATTRACTION II / Anna Uddenberg / Mitch Brezounek. In March 2021 Mitch was nominated for the BAZA award for contemporary art.
In his latest projects 'How to Become the Best Artist in the World' (film and exhibition at ICA-Sofia) and 'The Future Will Come' (exhibition at KO-OP art space, Sofia and series of cards 'Art Tarot', realized together with Sariev Gallery) Mitch talks about the system of the art world by parodying the clichés, norms and stereotypes that rule and determine the future and success.
