Abstract

The space of the so-called new-forms at the very end of the 1980’s and the beginning of the 1990’s in Bulgaria gives more and more information about itself. This information is disseminated with set purpose in the territory of the international cultural exchange. Is the informational activity - of both artists and curators - capable of overcoming our isolation and reticence? Does the situation have only informational aspect? Does the possibility of direct and immediate contact between all points in the field of culture mean that all the differences in creating and influencing the events are to disappear, does it mean that hierarchies are to be abolished? Are there any obstacles of other nature in me communication of meanings and statements?
All these questions, valid for a more or less isolated and closed situation, actually unite a number of cultural environments differing in their peculiarities (not only in Central and Eastern Europe) at that moment.
