От пътуващо студио за ситопечат до авторски издания

In 2013  me and the Bulgarian Urban Artist Valeri Gyurov (GIFTED:) realized with partners from all over Bulgaria a tour with a moveable screen printing studio. We introduced a large group of people to the technique of Do It Yourself screen printing. Thanks to the support of Goethe Institut Sofia workshops have been hold for free in Burgas, Pleven, Plovdiv, Ruse, Shumen and Sofia.

During this period I introduced Nadezhda Georgieva and she got so inspired, that one year after, she founded Sito Studio. Today Sito Studio is well known in the Bulgarian illustration and urban art world for their well done prints and contemporary illustrations. Sito Studio was the first place of it’s kind and for four years teached over 250 people in the technique. Nadezhda Georgieva would like to share with you the future plans for the studio and the story behind. She will also show some of her recent drawstring bags, t-shirts, prints and give you a sparkle about independent working and creating your own art products.

I will talk about the „2013 - Screen Printing Bulgaria tour“, my printed works after my stay in Bulgaria and of course about recently printed works -  hand printed Egozines. For my Egozines i used spray painted papers from visited places around the world and folded those papers to DIY Egozines.

In 2018 I already realized two Egozines - „Tel Aviv - Israel…“ and „April 2018“

After the presentation we will print live new works on papers painted in Bulgaria. The fresh prints will be directly for sale.

Who? Jens Besser (DE) & Nadеzhda Georgieva (BG) & special guests
The talk will be hold in English !  

Where? Gifted Sofia, ul. "Ivan Denkoglu" 24, 1000 Sofia

When? Saturday, 3rd November - 7 p.m.

Rastern - Silk Screen Printed Art in Dresden & Workshop

1st of September 2019 RASTERN show opened in Dresden. RASTERN is the first show about the history of Silk Screen Pinting in Dresden curated by Claudia „Wanda“ Reichardt at the Leonhardi Museum Dresden.

For the show i produced a silk screen work called „The Infinite Freight Train“ done on the outside windows of the museum. This work is printed with special screens and done in a single color. You can see more details on my fresh Insta-Profile, but to see it in real is always best.
My second piece at the show is showing the work „Don’t believe the hype“ from 2017. This work is visible outside, too. It’s pasted on an artificial door which is completely covered by prints.

Inside the show you can find another work - the illustration poster for „FreightTrainWorks“ - show in Dresden & Görlitz.In the show you can also find a lot of well known artist of different ages such as Karl Heinz Adler, Stefanie Busch, Herrmann Glöckner, Carsten Nicolai, A.R. Penck or Holger Stark.

Rastern is running till 11th. November 2019 - so don’t miss it

In November I offer a screen print course at riesa efau called „Plakastrophe!“. If you are interested in the technique & political Posters you should join this workshop.
