About KOSTA TONEV
During the currently ongoing project-based residency at GEMAK Kosta Tonev is developing a body of work reflecting on the influence of political, economic and energy factors in the evolution of new patterns of urban way of life. He closely examines the bicycle and its reestablishment as a mode of transport in the industrialized world since the early 1970s. This project coincides with the 40th anniversary of the historic 1973 oil crisis, which induced many of these processes.
Kosta Tonev was born in 1980 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. In 2004 he graduated from the National Academy of Art in Sofia, and in 2008 he completed his Masters at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Currently he is a student of Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
Tonev’s selected exhibitions include 5th Biennial of Young Artists, Bucharest, Romania (2012), Me & I. Self-portraits from the Collection, Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria (2012).
