MUSIC – Federico Dalprà, Lili Bogdanova & Elisabet Iserte López

“Taking part in the live stream was a great way to restore faith in the future of live performing. We are one of the first groups to be lucky enough to be performing for a small audience at FRAMED, and this was really heart-warming. No musicians in Berlin had had the chance to play for a real audience in the past 4 months, and an evening in front of a “real” audience was really touching and moving for each member of the trio. The FRAMED team was incredibly welcoming, and we really appreciated the attention to detail, the kindness, and the vision they had for the evening, which resulted in an outstandingly beautiful performance with a really high production level. We are also extremely grateful for the generous doubling up of the donation received: this is definitely a great economic and moral boost, and we hope FRAMED will be able to support as many artists as possible in the upcoming months.” – Federico, Lili, and Elisabet.

Elisabet Iserte López, Federico Dalprà, and Lili Bogdanova form a trio with the flavors of Bulgaria, Italy, and Spain at the core. Together, they will be performing an entirely French program, reminding us once more of the universality of Music. Get ready to be mesmerized and swirl away in the notes by composers Debussy, Ravel, and Gaubert.

ART EXHIBITION – Boyan 

Born in 1975 in Bulgaria, emigrated to Israel in 1997, and lives and works in Bulgaria and Israel. Working predominantly in painting, Boyan focuses on real and fantastic characters, while his painterly work virtuously skips between various genres and styles. Boyan graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem in 2003. He has had solo shows at Andrea Meislin Gallery in New York, Gallery 39, and Sommer Contemporary Art Gallery in Tel Aviv, as well as at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art.

“I started to make those paintings after moving to a large studio at an old cinema, which was converted to carpentry. Everything was covered in thick dust. I put the raw canvas on the floor to use as a carpet. Soon, I started to notice different shapes that appeared on the canvas made by footprints, cigarette ash, and dripped paint. Some of the shapes were very clear, so I tried to paint them using wood paint. The wood paint is like watercolor, it’s hard to control or erase. Once you make a mark, it’s there to stay. I try to find images hidden in the canvas by following shapes or making marks, trying to create a painting based on an accident.”
