Stingy Doodles

Nedko Solakov uses a characteristic method of making the viewer read and look simultaneously, an approach which “works” especially and equally well in his detailed installations, in his major museum exhibitions and in empty gallery spaces. The viwer can see how this happens in Stingy Doodles at the Museum of Humor and Satire. The work was created especially for the space, and the artist offers very local and personal commentaries; in this way, local viewers from Gabrovo will find themselves in a similar situation to that of viewers in museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt; Haus Konstruktive, Zurich; Museum Frans Hals, Haarlem; Kunstmuseum, St. Gallen; P.S. 1 MoMA, New York; Serralves Museum, Porto; De Appel Contemporary Arts Centre, Amsterdam; Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid and currently the exhibit A Passion for Drawing. The Guerlain Collection from the Centre Pompidou Paris in the Albertina, Vienna.
