Art Book 2022

On May 3 at 6 p.m., the first exhibition from this edition of the festival opens at the Regional History Museum – Sofia, Hall for Temporary Exhibitions. The exhibition is part of the Paper Art Biennial and has been selected as a start of the festival. It is a format in paper art associated with collector's editions that often transcend the notion of a book and enter the territory of objects with elements of the books. The current selection of 32 artists, from 14 countries, will present a diversity of trends in this art. The exhibition is on view until May 31, 2022.
