8.6. – 27.8.2023

Plamen Dejanoff’s solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Graz shows new works, precisely researched in terms of craftsmanship, which investigate a common European cultural heritage.

For Heritage Project, the Austro-Bulgarian artist draws on his personal history of a pan-European life. Using his family heritage – which reverted to the family in the post-communist era – he raises the question of the limits of ownership of architectural, artistic and craft knowledge.

Together with a number of international specialists, he creates independent artistic works at the interface between art and functional object. As sculptural architectural quotations, they tell stories in the exhibition space about their origins, the transfer and the aesthetic quality of craft knowledge.
