"Contemporary art very often deals with social and $"Contemporary art very often deals with social and political issues that are universal and human. Communicating with people from different countries gives us the opportunity to rethink our own problems and to see more clearly where we are on the map of the world," shares Maria Vassileva, owner and director of Structura Gallery in Sofia, Bulgaria. @structuragallery An independent contemporary art platform, Structura Gallery focuses on expanding and redefining contemporary art practices, creates sustainable connections between Bulgarian artists and their colleagues internationally, and encourages engagement with critical social issues. Its current exhibition – PRECARITY HAS A CHANCE: Public Spaces in Movement (Toward) – deals with the rapid atomization and privatization of public spaces that are directly damaging the emergence of the public sphere and the public person (the group exhibition opens today and runs through July 29, link in bio) As an Art Prospect Network partner, we are inspired by Structura’s robust initiatives intensifying international cooperation and artistic exchange. The project “Structura Hotline” invites well-known international curators to create exhibitions with Bulgarian artists. “Structura Open Windows” works with international artists to create urban environment inspired artworks for the gallery windows. The educational initiative “Structure Project Room” gives emerging curators space for exhibitions. “Art Corridor” provides opportunities for Bulgarian artists for residencies abroad. This month, the Ukrainian curator Tatiana Kochubinska(@kochunia33) is in the Art Prospect Residency at Structura. Last summer, US artist Meredith Drum worked on a project about contested monuments from the Soviet era and the associated decommunization of public space in Sofia. \/ Credits in the comments below \/$
