What happens when you attempt to inscribe one empty space within another?
Is the choice entirely dependent on conditions that have always existed within that space? To what extent are these indivisible principles through which an idea can be materialised? If the operation is prompted by numerical ratios, do they determine the aesthetic outcome, or are they merely a manipulation unrelated to art? Once you have physically tested all of this, to what extent can you become part of the artwork, or will you remain merely a passive observer?
Within the overall architectural layout of the gallery, there is a distinct section with a natural character of its own within the general design, which draws attention. It is centrally positioned along the entire length of the narrow, corridor-like space. This particular section lends itself to being treated as a transition between the two main spaces: the entrance area and the exhibition space at the interior.
The dimensions of 1.2 × 2.4 × 4.8 m describe a volume with a ratio of 1:2:4 (width W = X, height H = 2X, length L = 4X), in which the sequence 1, 2, 4 represents an initial stage of a geometric progression. The volume is divided into 24 squares, which form 8 cubes. The numerical value of 13.824 represents the volume of the enclosed empty space of the corridor, positioned within an existing corridor according to the principle of a body within a body...

Late Night Talks with My Modern Ancestors
|
Krassimir Terziev
Curated by Firat Arapoglu
24.10 - 28.11.2026
|
Krassimir Terziev’s exhibition, “Late Night Talks with My Modern Ancestors”, approaches modernism not as a finished era but as a conversation that is far from over. The works, produced between 2017 and 2026, revisit key works of modernism. These references neither constitute a pantheon of artists nor a system of quotations. Terziev subjects inherited forms to new material conditions. Gold leaf disrupts non-objective simplicity; wood resists the grid form; heat bends minimalist geometry; pigment seeps through coarse fabric; and a moving camera transfers its impact from the body to architecture. The term “late night” in the exhibition’s title evokes an encounter where official histories end, absolutes dissolve, and precursors can be treated as challenging figures. In the context of the ecological crisis, technological mediation, and the political exhaustion of modernity, promises of universality are reevaluated.
