NURTUREart is very pleased to introduce Svetlana Mircheva in her first solo exhibition in the United States,
POSSIBLE EXHIBITIONS.

For this series, Mircheva strays from technology and automation to present a series of diminutive, some quite simple, other slightly inscrutable dioramas from an ongoing collection of imaginary gallery-size installations. With their quiet and unassuming presence, the models lead both artist and viewer to imagine an infinity of possible scenarios, suspended between past, present and future. Possible Exhibitions showcases Mircheva's signature sleek, highly-professionalized daydreaming at its most powerful. With this exhibition we are ready to transform our gallery in a temporary zone open to imagination, projection and reflection.

POSSIBLE EXHIBITIONS Exhibition catalog

Exhibition cosists of a set of 10 models and an additional set of 14 preparational drawings.  

The works of Svetlana Mircheva often present the specific features and particularly the mistakes in the use and operation of various technologies. The author seems to be constantly wishing to shake our trust in the accuracy, clarity, and reality of our perceptions of the world that are formed by contemporary digital culture. For that purpose she often uses the tools of design. Her works include prints, models, short videos, photography, and various digital images, in all of which there is keen interest to the graphic symbol and the visual characteristics of the image.

Random Show is once again related to the idea of uncertainty of perceptions, only this time referring to the random, accidental as a loss of frame, of context, and of the immediate environment of events and objects. The core words for the exhibition, TIME and PLACE, are represented as strange monuments that mark the space as a place of absence, but also of discovery, where the accidental is an open horizon of imagination. The four models of the gallery space represent undeveloped, unaccomplished ideas for exhibitions. In such a way Svetlana Mircheva overturns the very idea of how an exhibition is created, presenting the very action as random. The exhibition is an "open" space, which similar to a box serves as a receptacle for various "saved" images, found objects and symbols.
