Razklon Gallery

Description

The Razklon Gallery/Pазклон Галерия was built in support of the Tsarino Foundation residency program near the village of Tsarino in the Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria. It officially opened in June 2020. This showcase offers approximately 1m³ of exhibition space and is constructed along the dirt road leading from Chorbadzhiysko up to Tsarino. Running through forests, fields and even some rocky cliffs, this road connects the scenery to many aspects of daily life and is frequently travelled by members of the local community.

Consisting of a glass and metal showcase (about 1m3) mounted onto a stone base built according to traditional methods, the gallery resembles the characteristic stone structures that can be found throughout the region, e.g. in houses or walls. The name 'Razklon,' meaning 'branch' or 'split' in Bulgarian, refers to the fork in the road that connects three nearby villages: Chorbadzhiysko, Valchanka, and Tsarino. Each initial letter of these villages, Ч, В, and Ц, is integrated into the corresponding side of the gallery, also serving as a signpost.

The Razklon Gallery offers artists the opportunity to show their work among hills, fields and forests, next to a dusty road where local cows make their daily trip to their pastures.
