The exhibition looks at the forms of artistic consciousness and artistic experience that do not offer direct analogies and connections with cultural area framed by formalizing historical stories of totalitarianism and transition. "Untold" in the sense of theoretical, untold, historically not situated, critical not valued and fully involved in aesthetic communication.
The "Untold abstraction" is a project dedicated to a particular trajectory in Bulgarian art that cannot be described in terms of monopoly history of innovation and new forms.
Without the possibility of full exhaustive the selection focuses on problem areas bearing tension and critical rhetoric.
The exhibition presents artists who express strong and character tendencies, and linked his artistic destiny, intuitively or consciously, with the ideas of abstractionism as an experimental field of single individuals attempting to escape from the devastating symbols of group identity.
