Nedko Solakov: A Cornered Solo Show #5
Until 29 June 2025
The project began in 2021, when the artist asked the directors and leading curators of renowned museums to provide him with an “insignificant” corner in the museum’s building, which should be out of the usual exhibition areas and at the same time be accessible to the visitors. So far, four exhibitions have been staged in major European museums, each telling a different story.
