Currently, I am working on performance and multi-media projects to blend the line between art, advertizing and commodity to another level; producing a body of work that utilizes tools actually used in marketing campaigns, including video ads, poster campaigns, and product launches. Reminiscent of celebrity marketing campaigns that use a popular icon to create a brand name, this work challenges this phenomenon with the creation of “media-hype” around an unknown persona that is devoid of any famous trademark. This project questions how and when a common person becomes a brand, thus blurring the lines of art, commodity, and social identity.Miss Bilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804219490156459888noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25697965.post-26520586447242293222009-12-01T14:21:00.000-08:002009-12-01T14:24:59.357-08:00Holiday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SxWXHI_B7zI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/sBorpYAlqL4/s1600/holiday.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 188px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SxWXHI_B7zI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/sBorpYAlqL4/s400/holiday.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410396676282249010" /></a><br />Holiday (Fill Your Home with the Spirit of the Season) is a continuation of Biliana Velkova’s research in marketing, appropriation and authorship issues. As advertising campaigns are borrowing from art concepts more frequently, the line between them becomes blurred. The project investigates the subliminal messages within advertising; the economic value of the holiday season; and the impossibility of achieving the life style portrayed in various marketing campaigns. Holiday will take these ideas and apply them to a non-existent storefront, at the Convenience Gallery. <br /><br />Biliana Velkova<br />Holiday<br /><a href="http://www.torontolife.com/guide/arts-and-entertainment/art/biliana-velkova/">Convenience Gallery</a><br />Dec 16- Jan 14Miss Bilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804219490156459888noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25697965.post-76648617980148632192009-11-23T13:35:00.000-08:002009-11-23T14:12:21.748-08:00Reviews of Tropical Saskatoon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SwsBtdMDeWI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/u6UXBjDmhdM/s1600/luke+and+jen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SwsBtdMDeWI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/u6UXBjDmhdM/s400/luke+and+jen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407417658029341026" /></a><br />A lovely <a href="http://lukesiem.tumblr.com/post/253175948/biliana-velkova-tropical-saskatoon">review</a> of the show from Luke Siemens.

Both indoors and outdoors, these plastic versions of tropical paradise seemed strangely out of place in the cold prairie environment. Furthermore, many Saskatoonians hadn’t even noticed them until I pointed it out. This made me think about the above mentioned quote and specifically how we create our own sense of place, no matter how odd or freakish that may be. <br /><br />Biliana Velkova<br />Tropical Saskatoon<br />November 18-December 27, 2009<br />Opening Reception, Thursday, November 19, 7-9pm<br />Frances Morrison Library Gallery, Saskatoon, SKMiss Bilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804219490156459888noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25697965.post-83758214706810467322009-11-09T21:14:00.000-08:002009-11-09T21:16:20.685-08:00Remembering the fall<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/Svj3HPIAptI/AAAAAAAAA2A/9Jx1xsp2dF4/s1600-h/Berlin_Wall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/Svj3HPIAptI/AAAAAAAAA2A/9Jx1xsp2dF4/s400/Berlin_Wall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402339456722183890" /></a><br />I am very excited to be able to share my memories from that day on <a href="http://www.howtomarryabulgarian.com/">Petya's blog</a>.Miss Bilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804219490156459888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25697965.post-74058802731670051802009-09-20T21:33:00.000-07:002009-10-08T13:54:35.480-07:00New Work<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/Ss5RNZW3SHI/AAAAAAAAA14/-ioqEvDrOwc/s1600-h/YSL+small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/Ss5RNZW3SHI/AAAAAAAAA14/-ioqEvDrOwc/s400/YSL+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390335094595995762" /></a><br /><br />The Makeover Project (Seduction in Just One Click), 2009<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/50684133@N00/sets/72157622418647109/">The Makeover Project</a> is a series of five performances done in a Vancouver shopping mall. In the span of one week, I went to various make up counters at Sears and the Bay and asked to be made up exactly as the model featured in a specific ad campaign. I focused on dominant cosmetic brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Sheisido and Dior. Immediately following each make over session, I would go to the mall’s portrait studio and get my photo taken. I attempted to copy the exact pose of the model in the ad which I was appropriating. The project investigates the subliminal messages within advertising, the representation of women in marketing campaigns, and the impossibility of achieving the standards of beauty promised by the advertising media.Miss Bilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804219490156459888noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25697965.post-80552300222494439662009-08-05T20:00:00.000-07:002009-08-05T20:02:40.717-07:00Nine to Five<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SnpHyqEPLyI/AAAAAAAAA1o/9NeMcNul3a8/s1600-h/dolly.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 344px; height: 344px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SnpHyqEPLyI/AAAAAAAAA1o/9NeMcNul3a8/s400/dolly.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366680841576460066" /></a><br />I have been very silent.

Anna Plesset's impeccably drawn reproductions of newspaper headline clippings not only call attention to the content of the headline, but also explore illusion, control, and the ephemeral and physical qualities of the newspaper itself. Biliana Velkova uses carbon paper to trace the covers of the tabloid magazine "In Touch Weekly". Seen together, the melodramatic statements and vague images become poster-like chronicles of pop culture fascination with celebrity lives. Carrie Walker acquires antique drawings through online auctions and then alters them by adding her own highly detailed drawings of wildlife. The stylistic and thematic differences between her work and the original create odd scenes and narratives that inevitably beg questions about the intention of both artists.<br /><br /><br />#140 - 1 East Cordova Street<br />Vancouver, BC Canada V6A 4H3<br />Tue.—Sat. 12—6 p.m.<br /><br />Tel: (604) 838-6816<br /><br />E-mail: info@jeffreyboonegallery.comMiss Bilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804219490156459888noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25697965.post-47285703501040522582009-05-31T09:33:00.000-07:002009-05-31T09:38:47.376-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SiKyiiFPQII/AAAAAAAAA1Q/5f_VlfiOl20/s1600-h/richardprincevuittonnurses-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IWLu9IjqABQ/SiKyiiFPQII/AAAAAAAAA1Q/5f_VlfiOl20/s400/richardprincevuittonnurses-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342028414348902530" /></a><br />Might as well do it all while I am feeling in the mood for sorting. I am also going through stuff in my studio and trying to make it make sense. I am working on two new projects and I find it hard to concentrate when I have older work hanging around. It is like I change personalities every six months.Miss Bilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804219490156459888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25697965.post-47197833256727814672009-05-31T07:57:00.000-07:002009-05-31T08:00:19.504-07:00Packing.
