From April 22 to May 11th 2012 – National Gallery for Foreign Art
After the success of the Bulgarian Pavillion at the 54th Venice Biennale, Gershon Bulgaria is introducing a new exhibition project at the National Gallery for Foreign Art, Sofia. Stars in Venice presents 90 meticulously arranged photographic portraits from the immense collection of the Archivio Cameraphoto Epoche – a fascinating cross section of celebrities from all genres of art who visited the legendary Venice Film Festival and the Venice Biennale through the years of the second half of the previous century.

We are offering our guests the chance to admire, among others, photographs of Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinale, Sean Connery, Paul Newman, of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall at the Portofino Cafe, of Mick Jagger enjoying a Gondola ride and Salvador Dali posing in front of memorable Venetian historic sites. The merit for the outstanding quality of the large format photo reproductions belongs to printer Vittorio Pavan, one of the founders of the Archivio Cameraphoto Epoche.

DOX Centre for Contemporary Art – 27th of May to the 30th of August
For the first time in Prague, the exhibition will present a survey of works by Pavel Büchler, who has lived and worked in the UK since the early 1980s.

The selection will include Büchler’s works from his photographic “portraits” from the late 1980s, which gained him initial entry to the British scene, up to his most recent pieces. The exhibition will focus on several key themes that were inspired directly or indirectly by Franz Kafka’s literary legacy.
