Organizing and founding

AMATERAS FOUNDATION

AMATERAS Foundation presents for the fifth time Sofia Paper Art Fest in the period 7 May -6 June 2015. AMATERAS is the name of the Japanese goddess of the sun and in this respect the Foundation symbolically connects the opening of the annual editions of the festival with the rising of light and hope and with the belief that they will just be able to save us from the machine to the daily grind.

The first panel of the Festival was in March in Japan - Fukuoka city, in the heart of Japan. The festival was invited to present the project NEXUS, organized by a group of artists from Japan and Korea, with the aim of intercultural dialogue - Europe-Asia. The festival presented works, which have participated in previous editions, in the City Museum Fukuoka from various sections.

Exchanging exhibitions are foreseen for the period 2016 - 2018 in both countries.

Choosing this year's festival to start with a debut in Japan is not random and the festival traditionally will have exhibitions for Japanese paper in art gallery Mazda. In the programme of the the Gallery, we will be able to see events related to ancient Japanese paper arts as Kiri-e, origami, calligraphy, ikebana art, and on 27 May there will be a presentation on different paper techniques of the Far East.

This year's edition will present 152 visual artists from 32 countries in both sections for professional authors. The largest of them - the Biennial of art paper mainly aims to show this year, works on topical themes to the urban environment, new technologies, the spiritual processes in modern society, the missing link of man and the universe, inspired by civilization and its problems. The Biennial is for high achievements in large format works and this year will be mainly presented in two main locations - Vivacom Art Hall and the Museum of History in Sofia.

This year the motto is SHARE innovation, which draws the audience's attention on the most important element of the festival - INNOVATION.SPACE.CITY discussion that draws attention to the new global processes that have their own way. Guest of

the discussion will be the General Secretary of the European Festivals Association Kathrin Deventer and Lorenzo Paolo - a lecturer specialized in global innovation.

The annual international exhibition contest AMATERAS small format is the precursor of SPAF and traditionally will be presented in Gallery Art Alley, where on May 7 will be announced at the awards by the international jury. Each year the contest presents young artists and famous international artists in the neat city gallery in the heart of Sofia.

Section Paper Art Academy will introduce students from all disciplines of the academy and some of the disciplines of the National Academy.

ART ALLEYMay 7 to June 6 - 20.00 hours

AMATERAS - The annual exhibition and competition for small format paper art.

The annual exhibition-contest for paper art small format is the original cause for creating Sofia Paper Art Fest in 2011. It is the largest project of AMATERAS foundation in the country, and throughout Europe, connected with art paper. This makes it an important part of the cultural strategy of Sofia 2013 - 2023. Many of the authors, who will be presented are favorites of Art Alley and will participate in the Biennial for Paper Art.

               From May 7 to June 6, 2013 for the seventh consecutive time AMATERAS Foundation organizes annual exhibition-contest for paper art small format. For seven years, the Foundation together with the ART ALLEY have presented to the Bulgarian audience more than 600 authors from 37 countries with the unique by nature works of art created from paper.

In the fifth, anniversary year of the establishment of Sofia Paper Art Fest, traditionally the participants' exposure of their work will happen in the cozy and full of artistic spirit Capital gallery ART ALLEY - constant partner of the project. In this day festival will begin with the opening of the Biennial in Vivacom Art Hall, but the most intriguing news - the announcement of the awards falls on Art Alley Gallery.

Competiting for the prizes are artists from Germany, Scotland, Japan, Switzerland, Norway and for the first time in the nominations there is so great Bulgarian presentation. With each passing year the interest is growing among young artists from Bulgaria and foreign authors who are admirers of non-standard solutions and are inclined to experiment. Normally, the international jury is of renowned authors from the World Association of artists working with paper and this fact contributes to the fair decision of the jury. Often the chosen works are with high quality hand paper

with clear and pure concept, but sometimes works that border with designs solutions and fine minimalist vision are selected.

This year the competition for the grand prize is between three authors who have proven in many international forums their achievements and the final decision will show which of the works most closely fits in this year concept - Share Innovation.

Art Alley Gallery is an emblematic place for Sofia and it is a real oasis for art in the heart of Sofia. The beautiful old house, gathering in history and present, will surround you with the spirit of the magnetic power of art and the unique spirit of spirituality and culture supported over the years by its creators - the gallerist Svetlana Ganeva and the curator Stefan Popov. Thanks to the cooperation of the Gallery and Amateras Foundation, this exhibition for the seventh time will excite citizens of the capital, and this tradition is rare in the cultural life of Sofia.

 All who want to know the secrets of the small paper forms with big ideas and unlimited possibilities, we expect you on Gladstone Str. 51-A from 7 May to 6 June 2015, ART ALLEY Gallery.

THE ART OF THE BOOK

ART BOOK

Museum of History of Sofia / the bathroom / - 8 May to 24 May - 1 8 . 3 0

An exhibition which has a special place in the Biennial of Paper Art. ART BOOK or the art of book is a collector’s section inspiring a number of authors for special projects. This exhibition shows a selection of unique rare works, which are often created by world works or poems, but there are those that have no words - they are images, gently fluttering pages bringing the memory of the plants from which the paper was created or scrolls with secret messages created by their authors sharing their innermost thoughts.

In the past the books have been an invaluable and very expensive gift for every ruler. Creating a book was expensive and complicated exercise, kept in special libraries and personal archives of castles, palaces and monasteries. There are brilliant examples in all the world's libraries and this gives the base of the current course, which has developed over the last 50 years as an elite art, designed for collectors.

The exhibition at the Museum of History of Sofia will be situated in an unusual and very impressive space that will remind with its domed space of many of the ancient temple libraries and repositories of priceless manuscripts. The curator of Sofia Paper Art Fest not by chance has selected exactly this space, laden with history and fine sense of space, whose dome symbolizes the sky and the exposure of over 80 objects is like descended heavenly messages presenting the viewer secret messages. For the modern human is hard to imagine how difficult it is to create a book and how much art is incorporated in it. In the modern art this section is

preferred by visual artists who are admirers of abstract, reaching the design decision in expression in the pictures, but there are authors with passion for ancient scrolls

Around the world there are many prestigious forums, specializing in ART BOOK, where collectors and connoisseurs of avant-garde works find wonderful exhibits adorning their personal collections. The program of Sofia Paper Art Fest there will be a special presentation by the German curator Dorothea Face, who organizes World Biennial of this art.

In the exhibition ART BOOK the presented works are a small sample of the variety of ideas and creative solutions. Much of the authors are members of the World Association of authors working paper (IAPMA). Here it is appropriate to mention the world famous names like Laura Behar, Jan Fairbairn Edwards, Gerlinde Hofmann, Alejandra Koreck, Laura Dimitrova, Viviane Fontaine, Kristina Yakimova, Tzveta Petrova, Krasimira Drenska, Aris Stoidis, Maria Diduch, France Baake, Ravikumar Kashi, Asa Bostrom, Baj Strobel and many others.

Very often, these books come out the standard notions of the book as such, because they inherently are more close to the sculpture, and even we can classify them to a different manifestation of the new spatial forms, woven from images. Many of them are combined in a collage of photography, drawing, poetry or just thrown thoughts. Some are silent, filled with the silence of the beautiful delicate images vividly telling the story.

The exhibition ART BOOK can be seen at the Museum of History of Sofia within Sofia Paper Art Fest 2015 from 8 May to 22 May.

"WORLD PAPER ART II"

Museum of the History of Sofia / the bathroom / 8may - 24may-opening 18.30

In 2015 SOFIA PAPER ART FEST presents the largest section Biennial for large size works in two main locations. Especially interesting is the space of the Museum of History in Sofia / the bathroom /, which has historical value in the heart of Sofia and wonderful space uniting the memory of the city and its cultural layers with the new face of the city.

This years’ motto SHARE INNOVATION provoked mainly authors working on experimental works, the challenge of civilization and its achievements in industrial papers and many of the works are surprising with their messages, size, techniques and overall concept. In the previous editions there were dominating works from hand papers and now the audience will see a new approach to this art, placing the problems of the individuality in society in historical and contemporary plan. Many of the works bring element of its own culture and its heritage, but refracted through the personal credo of the authors.

We are pleased by the fact that there are representatives of interesting new countries who haven’t been introduced in Bulgaria such as Peru, Bogota, Laos, Namibia and

others. The most important aspect of the event Sofia Paper Art Fest is the intercultural dialogue, which is produced by art, inviolable territory of humanism and spirituality.

Historically the paper has been associated with the Far East, but in recent decades the European culture, art and printing were major consumers of west and north European paper. It has developed design and book printing, industries related to interior and decoration technology. The contemporary paper art is like litmus for processes in societies in different parts of the world. Innovations often appear in places where there is no tradition of paper and then the free creative spirit creates unexpected works. The third in a row Biennial in Sofia Paper Art Fest has different goals and intentions of the previous editions and that can be read in a number of works that local residents will be able to see.

The programme has set events to show traditional arts and techniques, which are not shown in the works of the Biennial, but some of them, are based on new techniques and abstract installations or sculptures. The spaces that the Biennial will occupy are also non-standard coming out of the halls, permeating through the lobbies and the galleries and reaching the hall with the domes. The overall project will be able to show the possibilities and imagination of artists from around the world. In the museum there will be not by chance a concentration of Bulgarian authors who present themselves with impressive and very unusual works. Over the years, many artists were attracted by the magnetic paper art and in it they found the warmth and magic of this very easygoing and soft material.

Among authors we can mention Winsome Jobling, Hanne Frey Husoe, Kirsty Grotmol, Josephine Temine, Laura Behar, Archie Granot, Anna Boyadjieva, Mila Stoeva, Tzvetislava Koleva, Galina Dokova , Michaela Padeva, Vladimirr Palev, Josephine Tabbert, Monica Mazurkiewicz, Viktor Petkov, Priscilla Robinson, and others.

Opening on 8 May 2015. Museum of History of Sofia at 18.30.

JAPANESE INNOVATION

Gallery MAZDA - May 11 to June 6 - 19.30ch

Demonstration by Kihachiro Nishiura

Naturally MAZDA Gallery will present an exhibition JAPANESE INNOVATION during Sofia Paper Art Fest 2015. This is happening for the fifth time together with Amateras Foundation and we can easily say that it has become a tradition. This year, the fans of the Japanese art and culture will be able to enjoy the works of the typical black and white aesthetics of Japanese calligraphy tradition, supported by interesting and unfamiliar techniques inspired by other Eastern techniques on paper, but served in an innovative way. Minimalism, clear vision and symbolism, so characteristic for Japan, this time will perform space gallery Mazda, which is prettily situated at the foot of Lozenets and surrounded by the park space to the City Center. The partnership

between Gallery Mazda and Sofia Paper Art Fest will again show a new trend in business development as a partner of culture.

In Japan, this is a very important element of the culture in the areas to which people can easily reach without going to a museum specially. Annual exhibitions always present interesting solutions and works by contemporary artists who transcend tradition and create innovative works without fear of infringing traditions.

The installation of Kihachiro Nishiura is a real gem in the Japanese paper art exhibition where calligraphy is presented in unusual approach and some of the works associated with Buddhist symbolism. The particular impression of her works is achieved by perfect perfection so characteristic for Japan, which Naoyo Yamamoto presented in elegant, very poetic works, flowing in deep muted blue, characteristic for the culture of Japan. Along with them, the avant-garde works of Fukiko Nakabayashi, who with the unusual decision as a sculptor creates reliefs of paper with extraordinary graphite technique, typical of Japanese tradition, but assimilating the sense of mask brush sparkling whiteness in contrast with black, graphite gray and dark blue muted, which create a sense of strength and softness at the same time. And along with them, fine delicate works of Atsumi Murata, who always shines with her fine taste and softness of hand paper, complements the collection of Japanese works. Unique in their splendor are both unique panels of handmade paper of Atsumi Murata. They carry the energy of the moment, concentration printed on white paper "UASHI". Such an exposure, of course, can not show at least a few works of Yoshio Hasegawa, who is a brilliant innovator shocking the audiences every time with his unique works as if created by a magician.

It is no coincidence that precisely gallery Mazda is patron of elegance, beauty, art and refinement, and that there will be presented unique exhibition Japanese Paper Art - a real jewel in the crown of Sofia Paper Art Fest 2015.

In the programme of the festival there are evening events presenting Japanese traditional arts, which today have undergone great development and the school for ikebana “SOGA” is specially selected to show innovation in Ikebana.

You can see several evening events in Mazda Gallery. On May 22 / Friday / at 20.00 you will see TEA - PHILOSOPHY AND TRADITION, on 26 May / Tuesday / at 20.00 PAPER techniques from Japan - presentation and demonstration, and on 28 May / Thursday / from 19.00 MODERN Ikebana - School “SOGA” - presentation and demonstration.

Traditionally the exhibition will be officially opened by His Excellency Takashi Koizumi, the Japanese Ambassador in Bulgaria.

You can visit it from Monday to Saturday during the period from May 11 to June 6, 2015.

The opening is on May 11, 2015 (Monday) at 19.30.

"THE OTHER FACES OF THE PAPER I"

Gallery in the branches of Faculty of Applied Art Academybul. G.M. Dimitrov 100 / OpeningMay 12-June 6 - 16.00

Love, Creativity, Inspiration, Beauty...

This is the motto under which the National Academy of Art will present two

exhibitions in the section Paper Art Academy of Sofia Paper Art Fest. It has become

a tradition in the program of the festival, which has a special ambition to present

young artists along with prominent artists in its editions and to support the debuting

talents in the intercultural dialogue.

In the building of the Faculty of Applied Academy, there are often brilliant exhibitions

which are not always visible for the citizens of the capital and therefore Sofia Paper

Art Fest specially invites its fans to see this exhibition, bringing the freedom in the big

sized works which can be proudly presented in a number of world forums. The

lecturers together with their students carefully prepare these projects and that which

is most inspiring in Sofia Paper Art Fest is the freedom to work with light, lightness,

grace, love and refinement. The gallery space allows interesting spatial installation

solutions to be unleashed, woven from different paper structures.

The presentation of the Academy will be in several events. The official opening of the

Gallery of the Faculty of Applied Art Academy will show the more monumental

specialties through various works of contemporary art surpassing its typical profile

and in the later hours of the day, will be presented the second location of the

Academy in Gallery SERDIKA where a chamber works will be seen. The event will be

crowned in the open space of the gallery SERDIKA, with a defile of costumes created

" THE OTHER FACES OF THE PAPER II" Gallery SERDIKAMay 12 to May 30 - 19.00

The diverse forms of life, which the paper has in the everyday life are known to

everyone, but we can be surprised when we see the real works of art made by paper.

The paper is a material combining a numerous functions of application, but it is also a

material loaded with deep symbolism. This gives the opportunity for the paper to be

treated polyvalent - as a material and as a spiritual message. The challenge is great

in the different formats, techniques and the wide range of realizations shown by NAA

within the SOFIA PAPER ART FEST. For the second time students from all

disciplines of the National Academy (NAA) will participate, and lecturers together with

their students, within the overall exposure.

This year we will see in two exposure points works of young and talented artists.

Serdica Gallery is a new space in the cultural life of Sofia, situated in the old part of

the city, the famous Central Market and is very cozy and inspiring place for daytime

and evening events. The new Gallery welcomes Sofia Paper Art Fest with its section

Paper Art Academy and stimulates young artists welcoming them in its space. The

young artists will be presented at the Night of Museums and Galleries with interesting

program in SERDIKA Gallery.

The audience’s expectations are high after previous participation of students and

lecturer in the editions of Sofia Paper Art Fest. They have always wore the spirit of

experiment, innovation, pursuit of advanced solutions in the space and the desire of

the team of the Academy is to present interesting costumes made of paper by the

majors Fashion and Scenography.

This will surely excite the local residents and fans of avant-garde and innovative

solutions, bold sweep in forms and ideas.

In the exhibition can be seen works in which paper is turned into exquisite designer

items, jewelry, small sculptures and abstract panels. Fine jewelry editions will fit

perfectly into the filled with light space of Serdica Gallery, with which the presentation

in May 12 in section Paper Art Academy with the two exhibition spaces will finish in

the heart of Sofia.

We will be waiting for you in the gallery space of Serdica.

"NATURE GIFTS"Artamontsev Gallery - May 14 to May 30 - 19.00

Solo Exhibition of Desislava Deneva

For those who know well the story of Sofia Paper Art Fest, the name of Desislava

Deneva is associated with the award for Bulgarian author in 2014 in

Annual exhibition-competition for small format art paper. Artamontsev Gallery

presented Daniel Kondikov in 2013 during the Festival and now again in its space will

be shown the work of another acknowledged Bulgarian talent - Desislava Deneva.

The author is emblematic name in Bulgarian contemporary art with a number of

prizes in the drawing, printmaking, painting and art paper now. She is a remarkable

author seeking with every project a new field and ideas, changing the means of

expression and always surprises with a new concept, a fine sense of balance and a

lovely color. This exhibition is a peculiar balance for the eternal theme of femininity

together with the monumental sounding of the works woven by structures with muted

colors climate creating a special feeling for eternity.

And still, what does she say about her exhibition in Sofia Paper Art Fest and the revelation that she shares?

“According to the biblical understanding, the word "flesh" is opposed to "spirit" and

according to Job flesh sometimes means something alive and sensual. Interpreted as

the substance which constitutes the living creatures and man, and the phrase "flesh

and blood" is equivalent to a tangible reality.

The flesh is gentle and fierce at the same time. Brimming over life, the flesh invites

and attracts. It stiffens and is "posing" or on the contrary its curves dictate its rhythm.

The primordial femininity as a gift of nature is eternal artistic provocation. Nature –

the invariable teacher for beauty. This harmony is strong and real. It does not depend

on time, which floods us with its aesthetic advertising, fake "beauty", current fashion,

and indeed transient in its variability.

The eternal Eve’s vitality and fertility real as life. Without excessive shyness she

shares her gifts, but the truth is a risk that I accepted as an author.”

Desi Deneva

You are welcome in Artamontsev Gallery between May 14 to 30 and in the Night of

Museums and Galleries expect workshop and rendezvous with the talent of

Desislava Deneva.
