Saetchi Collection
exhibition
Authors: Nika Oblak and Primož Novak (Ljubljana, Slovenia); Curator: Yana Kostova
Saetchi Collection is dealing with the relationship between global economy and branding/marketing of contemporary art. The focal point in the exhibition explores the relationship between the original artifact and a copy being reciprocity between priceless and worthless. Because when an artist becomes a star, as Charles Saatchi stated, he is able to sell anything he touches. The project presents commissioned and/or hand made by the Slovenian artists pirate copies of famous contemporary artists, whose names are slightly transformed so they remain recognizable (for example Jeffry Kunst instead of Jeff Koons).
In contrast to the originals owned by the richest collectors and contemporary art museums –the new artworks are sold at a reasonable price and are designated for „mainstream consumer”. The gap between worthless and priceless is not characteristic only for contemporary arts, but also symbolizes the global economy, by means of which the so- called developed countries use the third world countries in order to maintain their welfare.On this basis are created the pieces in this collection, which real coutry of origin virtually is Bulgaria, where the two Slovenian artists resided in the summer of 2007.
At the exhibition’s closing on October 20 (Monday) you have the opportunity to talk to the artists together with a small treat.
The exhibition has been prepared in collaboration with Alkatraz Gallery, Ljubljana and sponsored by City of Ljubljana and Republic of Slovenia - Ministry of Culture.

sound and picture exhibition
Exhibition of the archive "Horus" (Sandor Kardos' collection of photographies from 1956 with the support of the Hungarian Cultural Institute - Stuttgart)
The amateur photo pictures of Budapest events, specially selected by Ivo Hadjimishev will reconstruct the image of the revolutionary and gloomy routine of the citizens of Budapest in the hot autumn days of 1956. The archive materials from the Golden fund of voice recordings of the Bulgarian National Radio will draw the sound picture of the media narrative in a “brother country”, as ours, which even though had not sent troops for drowning the Revolution, was echoing the official version and hiding the glance behind the curtain of the official history. The glance of the citizens… presented two generations later…

Scent of Socialism
For 17 years we’ve been celebrating the 10th of November as the end of the socialist era and the beginning of the democratic transition in Bulgaria. The date provokes reflections on what we’ve accomplished, where we’re going as a country and as a civil society; it raises debates about the direction and the outcome of the transition…
Today, when a generation that hasn’t lived socialism becomes of full age, The Red House marks the 10th of November with exhibitions, lectures, documentaries and book presentations that tell the story of socialism in a non-ideological, intimate and even funny way.
November 10 -30, every day except Sunday and Monday between 3.00–7.00 p.m.

Exhibition of everyday assets from the near past. On stock until November 30.

Narrowing of the Road
a room for reading the “osht” collection of poems
Author: Vesselina Sarieva, Bulgaria
Producer: Vesselina Sarieva (with the help of arttoday.lab)
The spacious and multimedia presentation of the verses gives the model for reading the “osht” collection of poems. Unmasking the reading is unmasking of the audio-visual and purely textual perception, where these three media are not illustrative, but mutually commenting on each other.

Producer: Le Spot Productions, DH – Association for Contemporary Culture
Project in progress that concentrates on the play, role and stories of man. Based on psychotherapeutic interviews with actresses, the main line is a spontaneous interweaving of their stories, gestures, reactions, their “true” play. At the cross points of close-ups, editing and images is hidden the project’s experiment under cover – conducting the video investigation of the image as an asylum.

Knowledge, Sun, Cosmos
from Eskimo with worship of human knowledge and progress
installation
Joint work of the artists: Leda Ekimova, Dilyana Manavska, Nikola Apostolov, Nikolay Stenski, The Legendary Poptones
Producer: Eskimo – Association for Contemporary Art and Culture, Bulgaria
Human knowledge and progress – how sublime and bright this striving of the human race is. Yes, Eskimo worships the unbelievable achievements of man and considers that they have the quality to become an inspiring object d’art. So, with the admiration of a religious artist picturing Cyril and Methodius, with the sincere pathos of a socialist poet singing the praise of the first man and the first woman in the cosmic space, Eskimo will give expression to its deep and powerful admiration on the subject. We won’t miss to give a deserved attention to the role of the informal education in the perfection of the masses today, as well as the role of every single ordinary man in the big ride of human progress.

The Media Image of the Bulgarian Painter
Ivana Mourdzheva will present the analysis of the image of the painter
prevailing in the generic (public) apprehention. By means of the existing
materials in the non-specialised press Ivana Mourdzheva would sketch the
socially acceptable image of the painter i.e. the image through which the
painter is accepted by society and recognized by the other individuals. The
attention of the presentation is focussed mainly on the mass media: to what
extend they could be responsible for the development of the public opinion and
its adequacy.
Ivana Mourdzheva graduated in Law at the St. Kliment Ohridski University, Sofia
and History of Arts from the National Academy of Fine Arts.

Spirit and Flesh – Andrey Nikolov's Art
A lecture by associate professor Nikolay Boshev, dedicated to the 126
anniversary of Andrey Nikolov's birth.
"We feel elevated by Andrey Nikolov's work even more than the most complete
poetry elates the hearts of young and old... The allurement of the scultures is
not indebted in the impression of the resemblance, they do not overwhelm with a
peculiar posture or ostentatious agitation. Their blisses, their woes, their
tempests are inside. And we like children feel glad that sometimes our spirit
permeates in their inner world." Alexander Balabanov

Forms in Cinema – Possibilities and Potentialities of the Short Film. Two
Cases.
Presentation by David D. Jeroham
The short films are wholly subdued to the main task of the cinema language - to
tell a story for itself. The audience usually associates short films with
etudes ot with exercises in style. From then on we are in "terra incognita". Is
there anything logical in referring to short films as cinema, why not?

"Art in Hard Times - Actions and Performances" or how art reflects the epoch we
are living in. What is performance - a radical expression of rebellion against
or an instigation to the conventional in art and culture? Extremism in art
against the apathy of survival - does art require new means today. Has the
performance lost its actuality after it'd stopped being "a new form"?
