DRESS UP

The T-shirt is a piece of clothing worn by everyone everywhere around the world – women and man, children, millionaires and seasonal workers. It is one of the symbols of equality and freedom from social conventions. It is produced equally by the world famous brands as well as by obscure sweatshops somewhere in the Far East. The T-shirts are also a habitual item in the museum shops selling memorabilia.

Our holyday season project titled "Dress Up" offers t-shirts in various sizes and colors supplemented and "decorated" by some of the most famous contemporary Bulgarian artists. The fragments and quotations from their works that are familiar to the audience, as well as the design, which is custom-made for the occasion, are produced in a very limited edition. However, they are still accessible to everyone interested in contemporary art.

ICA-Sofia is offering to your attention the new, its third Christmas show from the series of "Museum souvenirs" - after "Museum Souvenirs from the Non-existing Museum of Contemporary Art" (2011); and the "Magnet and Anti-Magnet" (2012) this year ICA-Sofia is once again popularizing contemporary art in the country – in a form suitable for the holyday season.
