This site presents a virtual exhibition of works from the Yogurt Culture series.
An actual exhibition would feature large-format digital prints made with Acrylic-Bond technology, as well as short video works.
The virtual space for the exhibition corresponds with the real venue of ONE Gallery, Sofia.
Author of the project is Slav Nedev.
More about the author could be found here.
The main compositions in the series are created with 3D modeling and simulations of physical forces and phenomena from reality.
The title of the series was inspired by a joke among the inhabitants of a secluded place in Upstate New York, which says: "If you want culture, you have to buy yogurt". This saying, mentioned by Louise Pirotta, a US artist, became the occasion for a small challenge between colleagues living in different countries.
Subsequently, I further developed the subject with new images, experimenting with various computer applications.
However, aside from the funny beginning, the exhibition refers to those associations, the symbol of which is milk as a primary nutrient and in particular the milk altered by microorganisms. These are the processes of fermentation and transformation, maturation, storage, nutrition, satisfaction of thirst / hunger, feeding with new energy - archetypal states that are essential part of the dynamics of life. In the works of the series, the yogurt is placed in the abstract spaces of sky or nothingness and is thus freed from any concreteness, which renders it the cosmic dimensions characteristic of myths.
The project for online presentation of the exhibition Yogurt Culture is realized with the support of Sofia Municipality, under the initiative "Solidarity in Culture" #Solidarity_In_Culture ( #Солидарност_В_Културата ).
