Bulgarian artist Krassimir Terziev to open solo show in Istanbul

Bulgarian artist Krassimir Terziev will present his solo exhibition “Late-Night Conversations with My Modern Ancestors” at the Collect Gallery in Istanbul on 24 October, according to a statement from the gallery. The show is curated by Fırat Arapoğlu.

The exhibition treats modernism not as a historically concluded period but as a dialogue that continues today. Works produced between 2017 and 2026 turn to important works of modern art history and reassess them in a new material and conceptual context.

According to the exhibition team, rather than building a system of quotations that refer to specific artists or paying tribute to them, Terziev opens inherited artistic forms to new interactions. His works are held in the collections of the Musée national d’art moderne at Paris’s Centre Pompidou, Moderna Galerija in Ljubljana, and various public and private institutions in Europe.
