On the suspense or how to hide a bomb under the table

Installation views, photography by Michail Novakov


24.05.2013 – 23.06.2013
Vaska Emanouilova Gallery, Sofia

                 Alfred Hitchcock describes one of the ways to obtain suspense in filmmaking as the “bomb theory”. His understanding is that the audience should be emotionally involved in the action by being kept in tension. The intense expectation, as the word “suspense” translates in Bulgarian, is a key technique in cinematic art which is presented in the exhibition as a major element of building up a story in all the fields from mass media through commercials and public speeches to everyday stories.

                However, while the main question in the “bomb theory” is when it will go off, the question asked by the exhibition is “how”. How (and by whom) is it decided where the bomb should be placed?

                In each individual work the concept of the suspense is expressed in a different way: by inciting the viewer’s memory (Ciprian Muresan); hyper-theorized in a playful way (Lyubomir Draganov); reduced to a specific action or a physical process (Kalin Serapionov, HR-Stamenov); presented as hyperbolized emotions (Boryana Rossa); making an accidental appearance (Kamen Stoyanov); removed from the action itself (Miná Minov); it is connected with the contemporary beauty industry (Iskra Blagoeva, Mihail Novakov, Kamen Dimitrov). Most of the works comment or directly use the language of cinema by “translating” it in a video (and sound) art.

                The Meeting Point Platform for young artists and contemporary art of Vaska Emanouilova Gallery is supported by Societe Generale Expressbank WE SUCCEED TOGETHER.

                The exhibition is realized with the technical support by: Art Project Depot & Vitosha Gallery, MM Company and The Union of Bulgarian Artists

ABOUT US


Art Project Depot (APD)  is a nonprofit association whose mission is to promote the realization and presentation of contemporary art workers: visual artists, writers, musicians, performance artists and others. Our activity is focused on projects exploring public spaces (site specific) and land art, as well as on artists whose work has a bearing on the social environment and its political, economic, cultural and historical aspects. We support novel artistic practices, which address wide segments of the public and reflect the present dynamics of the access to information thus changing the attitudes of educated spectators and bringing up for discussion a broader spectrum of themes and issues related to the world surrounding us.

One of the organization‟s main objectives is to create conditions for the establishment of partnerships between Bulgarian and foreign authors and organizations and to popularize Bulgarian contemporary art.

Art Project Depot is especially active working with young people aged between 18 and 30 years. In this way we seek to further the practical side in the training of young artists, researchers, and managers and to cultivate a new generation of audience with a keen interest in the processes of contemporary art.

Founded 2010 by Irina Batkova. Before that (2005-10) the Art Project Depot association existed as a platform for non-commercial projects of the Vitosha Gallery,  developing such projects as the Awards for Contemporary Bulgarian Art, Mtel.
