Exhibition Selection Decisions - An Update on Bolyartsi Project

Greetings, friends!

You know what's hard to an author when preparing an exhibition? Excluding things he or she is happy with but has to decide that ... they are not good enough.

Anyway, the exhibition I am talking about will conclude the first part of our project.

Here it is in short:

Stage One
is about introducing new social and artistic perspectives to a small community - one of countless such in Bulgaria and in the world as a whole. The purpose is to engage people in more interesting initiatives where they live. Our first village is Bolyartsi where a photo exhibition is being prepared.

Stage Two
in Bolyartsi village will be preparing and empowering people living there to continue our artistic and social work through lectures, practice and projects to work on together. One of those will be an album which has been started on by @manoldonchev and is about to be continued by local talents.

Cutting down the number of images to print for the exhibition for three major reasons:

• Only the best remain;
• Reducing printing costs;
• Coherency - an exhibition cannot be infinitely large and at the same time good for the audience.

All of those are important.

One of the ways to not overload but keep some of the series we deem worth it is to combine some special number of images into a story board like this one.

If this was a more narrowly focused exhibition that may have stood well as a whole series but now we cannot afford to dedicate too much attention to this one story at the cost of the rest of them, some of which are into one or just a few images.

Are also the files from this gallery where you may find the e-mail to write to. Supporters @fundition, @hendrikdegrote and @sndbox may do it whenever they choose. Their files are just an e-mail and a link away.

Waiting on...

Raising enough funds to begin printing. Outside the blockchain and inside - whenever both ends meet. Some outside factors are still unclear.
First videos post-production;
Experienced curator taking a part;
Live meetings with potentially involved talents on a national scale;
Local participants sending more entries for their own participation in the coming up exhibition...
But the more support we find here, the more we get closer to expanding this project on a larger scale and eventually influencing more communities!

So we rely on your thoughts! And your donations do make a difference!

Thanks for reading!

Yours,
