The show is organised by the Sculpture Depository and SSG, attracting 8 key figures of the contemporary Bulgarian sculpture scene that take part in the exhibition WHITE OBJECT, all gravitating towards the aesthetics of minimalism and asceticism closely tied to the art of the renowned Bulgarian sculptor Angel Stanev.

WHITE OBJECT includes 20 artworks - sculptures, drawings and site-specific installations each of them customised to meet the architectural environment of the San Stefano Gallery Contemporary Art Hall. Angel Stanev rarely appears in the art spotlight – his last solo show dates back to 2012 in the Sofia City Art Gallery. The critically acclaimed sculptor accepted to participate only to hand over to seven other artists the task to answer the question what is Sculpture today through their shared philosophy synchronicity and the critical thinking in approaching the sculpture media.

This Thursday at the San Stefano Gallery Contemporary Art Hall, all 8 artists will be present from 5p.m. - 8 p.m. to set the terms for discussing contemporary sculptural practice. Join us for the official launch to discover each discrete work that has been carefully installed according to its own needs.
