In June 2024, the Leiden-based EST art foundation organized the exhibition Export: Bulgaria 5 in Leiden, introducing works by Bulgarian artists to a new audience. This show marked a new phase in a long-lasting collaboration between EST and the Bulgarian art foundation nonsofia.

Half a year later, nonsofia shows work of Dutch artists in the exhibition Focus: The Netherlands. The selected artists are closely related to the history of EST and nonsofia. Although EST follows the common denominator of concrete art, all artists employ their own set of rules in their work. The exhibition is supported by the National Culture Fund of Bulgaria.

The exhibition Dahlhausen viral is curated by the German artist and art collector Christoph Dahlhausen (1960). He smuggles his ‘art viruses’ into the Kunstmuseum Ahlen and contaminates the actual presentation of the museum’s collection with ‘strange’ art works. Some of them are taken from Dahlhausen’s private art collection, others sprout from his collaboration with colleagues from his international network. The result is an exhibition with frictions; surprising and contrasting settings change the perception of what is familiar and seemingly secure.
