The Pianos

3 May 2012 – 23 May 2012
As an accompanying event an art installation will be presented during the festival. It will consist of pianos that will be placed in several public locations in Sofia. The pianos will not only be there on display but people will also be able to play on them. The instruments will be transformed by professional artists into real works of modern art.

The Transformatori Association is partnering in the SM&RT festival with the idea of аn artistic transformation of the pianos. A team from the association is designing a unifying creative concept for 11 art installations around the pianos and coordinating their realization. For this purpose, the Transformatori association is inviting 11 artists working in different styles and directions that will offer 11 artistic piano packagings in connection with the corresponding locations. These art installations are aiming at attracting the passers-by’ attention to the pianos and popularize the festival on one hand, and on the other – to contribute to the artistic and beautiful appearance of the capital Sofia.
