We continue our introduction of the artists in “Brieftopia: Art Between Crisis and Imagination” with the Bulgarian artist Nevena Ekimova.
Nevena Ekimova is a Bulgarian artist, based in her hometown of Gabrovo.
She studied contemporary art in Norway and Iceland, and got her BFA at the Valand Art Academy in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Besides participating in exhibitions, she often works with public institutions and creates large-scale interactive projects for children and adults.
Nevena’s works are often both visual and tactile, have a poetic and/or performative element and invite active audience participation.
In the interactive installation “Noise Threshold”, made for the exhibition in Gabrovo, Nevena Ekimova creates an environment for examining the informational “climate”—a device that registers momentary states of thought and oscillations between signal and noise, between critical stance and play.
The project is realised with financial support from procedure BG-RRP-11.021, New Generation of Local Cultural Policies for Large Municipalities, Investment Development of Cultural and Creative Sectors, Component Social Inclusion, National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
