Exhibition Explores Design and Art Boundaries

Culture

The exhibition Design versus Contemporary Art will take place at Doza Gallery in Sofia from April 7 to 12. Curated by Desislava Zafirova, the show explores the delicate balance between the pragmatic and the conceptual, blending colour, technology (LED lighting, kinetics), and painting. The project, created by artistic duo YO\KO+INA (Yonko Vasilev and Ina Vasileva), challenges the functionality of design through contemporary art strategies while using design's formal language to address art's conceptual questions, CE Report quotes BTA

Following Yonko Vasilev's passing in 2023, the exhibition continues as a tribute to their shared artistic journey, symbolizing the ongoing dialogue between the two creators.
