Ghostling | Kalina Nedelcheva

Biography

Kalina Nedelcheva is a multi-disciplinary artist, writer, editor, and emerging curator who is based in Toronto, Ontario. Currently a graduate student in the Criticism and Curatorial Practice program at OCAD University, Kalina is interested in methods of unlearning and critical theory. Her drawings have been shown in numerous exhibitions, while her self-published zines explore philosophy and disruption of media. Her work has also been published in publications like Sidedoor Magazine, BUST, Spring! Magazine, and more.

Artist’s Statement

My practice is rooted in disrupting linearity and is concerned with how human consciousness engages in the process of meaning-making. Deeply interested in the topological character of media and exhibition spaces, my work promotes self-reflection and counters passivity to enable everyday critical thought. Through playful and accessible references to theory, as well as a strong emphasis on the potential of chaos, I challenge dominant ideologies to promote awareness of difficult knowledge and the importance of unlearning.
