"Breathing Space"
With the special participation of HR-Stamenov
National Museum of Literature
Peyo K. Yavorov House Museum, Sofia
30 November to 23 December 2012
Opening 29 November from 5pm
National Museum of Literature presents "Breathing Space", a site-specific project by
Bora Petkova with the special participation of HR-Stamenov and the work "Ambiguous
Activities".
"Breathing Space" is a temporary artistic intervention in the permanent exposition of
Peyo K. Yavorov House Museum located at "G. S. Rakovski" Str. 136 in Sofia.
The project explores the relationship between the life and work of P. K. Yavorov and the
features of the house museum, by the means of site-specific video and audio installations.
The title "Breathing Space" at the context of the life and work of P. K. Yavorov,
comes to consider the idea of Death as a short pause, separating but also making the leap
between two eternities: the notion of Eternity in the poetry of P.K.Yavorov and the eternity of
his poetry.
The project is designed with respect to the мuseum activities as a whole, the historical
significance of the building as a Culture monument, as well to the authenticity of the
permanent exposition of the museum.
"Breathing Space" is kindly hosted by the National Museum of Literature and
G.L.A.F.A.M.B and is supported by the Gaudenz B. Ruf Award.
