OUR PROJECTS
Limnos Land ART 2025 | Levietan
Site-specific installation by Todor Rabazhiyski
In June 2025, a new chapter of the Limnos Land Art project unfolds with the unveiling of Levietan, a sculptural installation by Todor Rabadzhiyski. Set within the Natura 2000 protected zone near Keros Blue Hotel, this evolving site welcomes a work shaped by the raw forces of the island and the buried narratives beneath its soil.
Continuing the mission of To Collect Contemporary Art, this annual initiative transforms the landscape into a living gallery, where each intervention speaks to place, ecology, and collective memory.
The project is made possible with the generous support of Aya Estate Vineyards, our leading partner, whose commitment to culture and sustainable development helps shape this unique intersection of art, land, and community.
Clemens Wolf
Tension & Plus – Minus – Two Poles of Tension
Text by Domenico de Chirico
The Viennese artist Clemens Wolf, born in 1981, is widely recognized for his innovative artistic approach, which uniquely blends material elements and conceptual models. His artistic research unfolds through various forms, including sculpture, painting, and installation, where the interplay between body and space, the tangible and the abstract, the predictable and the unexpected becomes the beating heart of his creativity. His work, constantly oscillating between pure abstraction and hints of stylized figuration, explores the tension between opposing and diachronic forces such as lightness and heaviness, stillness and movement, solidity and vulnerability.
Raw Perspectives
Exhibition by Todor Rabazhiyski
In Raw Perspectives, we enter a visceral world of contradictions: beauty and decay, the sacred and the profane, the personal and the collective. This exhibition invites viewers to confront the fragmented reality of contemporary existence, where art, technology, and human experience collide in unexpected ways.
The works on display, deeply inspired by the raw poetics of the artist’s vision, reflect a landscape shaped by plasma-cut metal, muted moans, and flattened scraps—a metaphorical “tower town” where meaning is simultaneously sought and subverted. The sculptures, installations, and multimedia pieces in this exhibition explore the human condition as a continuous climb and fall, a struggle to reconcile fleeting beauty with existential absurdity....
Verticality (& other spatial orientations)
Exhibition by Stela Vasileva. Curated by Boyana Dzhikova
Stela Vasileva’s exhibition at +359 Gallery deals with how the body experiences architecture. As a continuation of a long-standing site-specific practice, the artist concentrates on the properties of the water tower, such as its verticality and spiral structure.
Her work is both a response to the form of the gallery, absorbed into her muscles and then transferred into a work of art, but also one that refers back to the tower. It is an invitation to deeply understand the architectural space, engaging all your senses through the body.
Limnos Land Art
In the beginning of June 2024, and continuing annually, a new land art installation emerges, breathing new life into the landscape. This yearly evolution mirrors the island's natural rhythm and the dynamic nature of contemporary art. 'Limnos Land Art' is an immersive project that transforms the landscape in front of Keros Blue Hotel in Limnos, Greece, into an evolving gallery of land art installations. Each year, 'To Collect Contemporary Art" team will carefully sculpt the land to reveal new perspectives and narratives.
For its inaugural installation, we are proud to present Kalina Dimitrova's 'Tumbleweed."
INHABITANTS
The "Inhabitants" sculptures by Martian Tabakov were photographed by the +359 Gallery team at several sites developed under the Operational Program "Environment 2014-2020". These sites are often located on the outskirts of populated areas or remain hidden below the surface of our daily lives and the surrounding infrastructure. Despite their obscurity, they hold great importance to our existence as a society that is concerned with its future and bears responsibility for the environmental footprint it leaves for future generations.
Discover contemporary art with GTC
We envision a dynamic collaboration between GTC and “To collect
contemporary art” platform to host contemporary art event that celebrate creativity, innovation, and cultural exchange.
The event will showcase a curated selection of artworks by emerging and established Bulgarian and international artists, representing diverse artistic disciplines and perspectives in the sleek and modern setting of the common areas at the Advance Business Center.
KUNST TRIFFT GOLF
Similar to how St. Oswald Golf Course is embedded in the natural form of the area, we aim to blend the nature, the game and the contemporary art in a new type of event.
That’s why we selected more than ten artists with their unique artworks, suitable for outdoor display, transforming the ordinary game experience into an exciting art event. Expected to run until the end of September 2022, the exhibition is a perfect complement to golf and also an excellent alternative activity for families looking to spend a few hours away from home.
"To collect contemporary art"
- a journey into the future where everything is still possible
Collection Vladimir Iliev
Curators: Ivo Milev, Boryana Valchanova
Exhibition in National Gallery "The Palace"
22/04/2021 - 29/08/2021
"For the collector of 'old' art, most choices have already been made. For the collector of contemporary art, they are ahead, they are his - difficult, problematic, sometimes false or wrong. He is a traveler into the future, where everything is still only possible.
LIKA YANKO | DRAWINGS
Collection of Vladimir Iliev and Alexander Toshev | Exhibition in National Gallery SQUARE 500
7/11/2019 - 8/03/2020
The unique presence of Lika Yanko (1928–2001) on the Bulgarian art scene was marked by one of her few public exhibitions, censored and closed in 1967. The reason was a number of artworks ‘not meeting the requirements’. However, this trauma did not prevent the artist, in the years to come, from tenaciously building her own childishly spontaneous and biblically wise world of images and forms. Lika Yanko is best known as a painter who went beyond the conventional concepts of expressive means through collaging various ‘accidentally’ found materials, through interweaving the abstract and figurative, and through constructing forms of almost only one colour—white.
Telelink Contemporary Art Awards
In 2019, Telelink, partnering with Gallery +359, launched a Contemporary Art Contest aimed at technology and Internet businesses. It funded new works by contemporary artists and initiated a corporate collection. The contest had two parts: established artists invited by Gallery +359, and young authors proposed by professors or festival organizers abroad.
The starting point for projects in the Telelink contest is through the corporate focus of activity that is synthesized in its logo, to discuss patterns of perception that our modern world sets.
