Arthouse Art Residency
This summer I invite people from all over the world to draw & paint anything they like in the 100-year-old house my grandfather built. I am developing several different projects throughout the house.
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.
I named the project Antrik Arthouse after my mom, who passed away over six months ago. This project would not be possible without the help of my brother, Nikolay.
