Description
October 15 - November 21, 2009
Nedko Solakov continues his conversations with people, through 40 drawings (with or without stories) which he created especially for Dvir Gallery on Nahum Street. In these drawings full of humor, subversion and anxiety, Solakov transmits his irony by real and imagined figures, tales, anecdotes and serious "true" facts.
Solakov's first exhibition at Dvir Gallery "Negotiations" took place in 2003, parallel to a special project realized by the artist for the Israel Museum

Solo shows by Karen Russo (Economy of Excess), Adel Abdessemed (Conversation), Pavel Wolberg (New photographs), Vered Nachmani (Dreamers); and group shows: one with Tamar Getter, Barak Ravitz, and Matan Daube (Hakafot); the other, based on Ceslav Milosz's poem To Allen Ginsberg, focused on dialogues and gestures in art and featured Francis Alÿs, Mircea Cantor, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Yehudit Levin, Jonathan Monk, Ciprian Muresan, Miklós Onucsán, Eli Petel, Francesc Ruiz, Julião Sarmento, Miri Segal, Haim Steinbach, and Lawrence Weiner.Post a Countdown Widget
