The interactive sound installation Storytelling and the video installation Constellation

From April 19th to May 19th 2018 a guest at the Regional Museum of History in Sofia will be the Bulgarian visual artist CHRISTO GUELOV who has been living in Madrid for many years. He will present the interactive sound installation Storytelling and the video installation Constellation, both of which correspond directly to concepts of the relationship between traditions and memory, the preservation of identity through the power of letters and signs, sound and color symbolism. The public of the Regional History Museum - Sofia will be able to experience the original installations by Guelov and get acquainted with contemporary Bulgarian art from abroad.

The project is implemented by the NGO "So Close, So Far" in partnership with the Regional Museum of History - Sofia and the State Agency for Bulgarians Abroad. The main sponsor of the event is Aurubis Bulgaria, which supports the promotion of contemporary art in Bulgaria and abroad. The event is related to the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU.

The artistic activities of the multidisciplinary artist Christo Guelov develop in the sphere of audiovisual media and urban space, and aim to "humanize" our environment in the city, offering to people who inhabit it alternative artistic points of view.

His works in urban space contribute to new ways of understanding and contemplating contemporary art, providing a broad framework for expression and artistic language by involving the citizens in a fascinating encounters, which generate new urban experiences.
