CAPA: Seek Inside (exhibition at the Бункер / Bunker Gallery Project in Varna, Bulgaria)

CAPA: Seek Inside is the first exhibition of the CAPA Movement in Bulgaria and not just one exhibition but two of them thanks to the support and invitation of the experimental Gallery Бункер Bunker of Bulgaria. The first exhibition will be held at the II World War abandoned Bunker of Varna at the forest of the city and the next exhibition will be held at the abandoned Bunker of Ezerets. Both Bunkers are managed by different events creators and curators but linked in the idea of presenting Contemporary Art and Artists to the public through a very inisual way of do it. The Bunkers are totally conservated as they were so no light or electricity are installed in order to move the guest of the exhibitions to use their cellphones lanterns during the visit. Neno Belchev the curator of the project tell us that this project is a low budget project so the space do not intend to present original artworks but only copies and that the focus of the project is to present Contemproary Art and Artists to everyone to break with the idea of the Museum or regular gallery as a unique space of exhibition. He also say that the space itself have history and a specific context. The context of the II World War. A context that has been representated by very different minds and understandings of what it is to dialogue with these unique spaces. Until know the Бункер Bunker Gallery has presented the solo work of the CAPA Members Patricio Álvarez Aragón and Marcos Vidal Font, also has presented the work of the recognized Bulgarian Land Art artist Penka Mincheva, an interesting exhibition/research of the Russian photographer Yakov Shustov "about the rest of Militaries", the intervention of Dessislava Atanasova and has celebrated an interesting collective within the ideas of the "Feminism" on March 8.

CAPA is pleased to be the first "group exhibition" at the Bunker Varna and Ezerets (Ezeretzsky branch) and to exhibit for the first time at Bulgaria. The work displayed at the exhibitions was a product of an ardouos work between the CAPA members Freddy Flores Knistoff, José Estevão, James Burns, Jorge J. Herrera Fuentealba, Patricio Álvarez Aragón, Marcos Vidal Font and Eduardo Rojo during the moths of January to May 2021. Because of the pandemic of the Covid-19, CAPA started to work remotely via post and more than 49 works were exchanged during the creative process and modification (the main topic and activity of CAPA Knistoff branch) between the countries of EE.UU (Seatlle), Portugal (Aljustrel), The Netherlands (Amsterdam), Ireland (Dublin) and Spain (Palma de Mallorca). An exhausting job full of patience and love for painting, the collaborative work and experimentation.



















*First CAPA exhibition at the Бункер Bunker Gallery in Varna will be available to visit under petition until the 27 of July o 2021. Soon will be more information about the second part at Ezerest!
