Curator’s Text:

Daniela Kostova’s work, Body Without Organs: Bulgarian Bar (2006) is a documentary video which follows the “discovery” of the infamous Bulgarian Bar through the eyes of an immigrant artist in New York City. Kostova interprets the bar and her relationship to it as a place of cultural refuge for a particular immigrant experience, manifested through Gypsy-Punk music.
