Sarieva/Gallery, Plovdiv
Sarieva – Residency is a program which presents artist with the opportunity to work in a new comfortable environment, to create and present works and projects, to collaborate with experts in the field. The residency combines artistic, research and educational activities in an innovative way. The artist works in an established art institution and in the creative environment of an always developing art city like Plovdiv. Melania Toma (b. 1996) grew up in Italy and is currently living and working in London. She is the third resident of Sarieva – Residency.

New available works by Maria Nalbantova
Maria Nalbantova, Post-Tools #3, 2021
wrenches, cutting discs, 121 x 104 cm
I often work with found objects, images, materials and tools that become building blocks according to context in telling a particular story. One such example is the construction trolley turned seascape rebuilt, which is part of the Multiple Use series, 2019. I made it as a reaction to the overdevelopment of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, where numerous hotels, retaining walls and abandoned concrete complexes line our seaside, forming an often anti-utopian landscape for rest and relaxation. — Maria Nalbantova More works by Maria Nalbantova | |||||||||||||||

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 present to you Notes and Footnotes by Vera Mlechevska which is also available online. The publication glides by intuition on topics such as the institution and what’s beyond it, collectives and the routes they carry, the body and identity formation. In the section Publications you can find more information on the publications of the Open Art Files program, which give an in-depth and accessible overview of artists, artworks, and the historical processes connected to the Bulgarian contemporary art.
