Michail Michailov, Bulgarian Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale

About

Michail Michailov presents the There You Are project, curated by Irina Batkova.

Michail Michailov is an artist who enlists the aid of various media (performance, drawing, video, sculpture, installation) to create meditative territories where the viewer apprehends unexpected aspects of being.

In the There You Are project, he explores Spazio Ravà to redesign the visible and invisible details that make up the exhibition interior in the context of the body and its interaction with its living environment. Following the geometry of the rooms, the cabinets already mounted on the walls, along with the space's architectural features, Michail Michailov takes up the accessible areas below and between them and positions the drawings from the Dust to Dust series. By building three-dimensional objects similar in shape and proportions to the furniture, the artist simultaneously creates a minimalist and absurd environment. This series, on which the artist began to work eight years ago, won first prize at the 2018 Drawing Now Art Fair in Paris.
