DIGITAL RESIDENCY : YANA ABRASHEVA
Yana is a recent graduate and works as a freelance graphic designer in Sofia and The Hague. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts, KABK, the Netherlands in 2021.
Her practice is multidisciplinary, ranging from theoretical and research fields, to artistic or visually based narratives.
The discourse she explores in her practice often relates to the theme of the various expansive industrial methods shaping the technology industry; how species adapt to a rearranged human landscape and how this rearranged landscape influences new modes of intraspecies conviviality; reimagining the human body, humans leaving their position at the top of the food chain; redefining and re-constructing ecosystems.

Open Art Files is a database and an archive of Bulgarian contemporary art. The content of the website consists of four sections: Topics, People, Spaces and Files, presented in а clear and accessible way. Each month Sarieva/Hub’s newsletter will present selected profiles, topics and files from the site.
This month we focus on the Files section, showcasing Vesselin Sairev’s visual poetry on postcards with a proposal letter for a contemporary postcard booth to the Sheraton Hotel from 1990.
Bulgarian Pavilion Spotlight
On the occasion of “There You Are” – Bulgarian Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale we are talking with Michail Michailov – the artist behind the project:
Q: Your project is interested in everyday life, the body and their poetization as a possible liberation. How do we create our symbolic, sacred spaces? How does your art transform physical space into symbolic space?
Michail: I think that in order to be able to work in this direction, it is useful, first of all, to be sensitive. A purely intellectual game would not be enough, and the wow effect would be too weak. The process involves enduring unpleasant things, jumping over one’s own shadow and accepting things as they are.
Q: In a noisy place like the Venice Biennale, were you able to create your own space? What makes an artist successful in Venice?
Michail: The exhibition consists of several spaces and each of them has its own spirit. I managed to find this „own space“ in the installation „Headspacing”. It would be naive to think that a good exhibition in Venice will necessarily make you a successful artist.
