Kinetic
Angel Petkov, Stela Stoynova and Vasil Vasilev have been working together as Kinetic since early 2010. The three artists study sculpture at the National Academy of Arts, in Sofia, Bulgaria. They focus their work on kinetic sculptures from junk and scrap – mechanisms that they use to provoke the senses and broaden perceptions. Kinetic seek to stir viewers so as to make them the originators of a series of interactions whose ultimate goal is to turn what we perceive into a product determined by human reactions and behaviour. Kinetic have participated in various festivals and initiatives, among them The Bridge Fest, Sfumato Small Season, DA Fest, the festival of robotics and interactive objects, and the EU’s “Youth on the Move” initiative. In March 2011 they presented the exhibition/project “Kinetic Sphere” at the Industrialna 11 Gallery.
