+359 Gallery has the pleasure to announce the results of our first open call:
Cédric Van Parys
Camilo Parra
During the last two months we received more than 350 applications for the +359 Residency program. We have been utterly impressed by the complex take on the site-specific nature of the water tower and the Bulgarian/Balkan cultural, political and social context. For that reason, we decided to chose two artists who will conduct their creative research in the summer of 2021 and then hold a solo-exhibition. Inspired by the mindful creative work done by all of the participants and eager to improve the international artistic exchange, +359 Gallery will renew its open call for next year.
