Arthouse
In the summer of 2025 I invited people from all over the world to draw & paint anything they like in the 100-year-old house my grandfather built.
There were several several different projects developing throughout the house:
Shakesharpie
Draw with sharpies in The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare.
Draw and Paint Anything Collaborative Mural
Write, Draw or Paint anything on a giant paper wall. An evolving artwork where each guest adds a mark.
Surrealist Ablutions
Doodle on the Bathroom Tiles. Yes, maybe even while showering.
A couple from the Netherlands wrote a song about the Arthouse:
The Arthouse project started in my apartment in Brooklyn, Christmas 2011. I invited my friends and told them it's a Bulgarian tradition to paint on the walls for food. This became the Bulgarian Christmas collaborative painting performance. Since then I have used the same approach to working with the general public in New York City and confronting people with the immediacy of art making.
Although it's a house project, it is not tied to a location. It is ephemeral and ever-evolving, inspired by Yayoi Kusama's Obliteration Room and the house of the great artist Salvador Dalí in Port Lligat.
