About

The Razklon Gallery/Pазклон Галерия 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. Loggers use the road to access the forest and transport wood, other members of the local community use it to hunt, forage mushrooms, or let their cows roam around. In addition, the road is often travelled by families, originally from Tsarino, to visit the mosque, its cemetery and the village itself. 

 

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 presents a new artwork several times a year, made by artists from anywhere in the world. Located in the midst of nature, its primary audience includes members of the local community, alongside curious cows and other wildlife.
