Dear colleagues,
The Museum House of Humour and Satire in Gabrovo, Bulgaria launches a campaign for registration of entries for the 23rd International Biennial of Humour and Satire in Art that will open on 19th May 2017. The works selected by the jury will be on display at the Museum from 19th May until 30th September 2017.
The twenty-third edition of the Biennial is comprised of a competition and a curated exhibition. The competition is held in two sections – cartoons (in three categories) and contemporary art (works of art executed in any technique and media – painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, drawing, poster, installation, video and others).
The theme of the competition is Laughing in the Face of…. fear, crisis, adversity, the status quo – artists are invited to complete the phrase and make a statement by addressing the present day and its social, economic, political, cultural and daily problems and challenges.
