Ivo Dimchev
Ivo Dimchev (Bulgraria)
“Dimchev understands “performance” in the largest possible terms. It consists of whatever you do to feel alive.” Apollinaire Scherr, FT.com
Last seen at the Perforiation Festival at LaMama in March, Ivo Dimchev, returns to present his solo, Som Faves based on his favorite topics from a list of 100 topics (subjects, objects or people). Armed with a wig and keyboard, Dimchev presents us with a seemingly incoherent collection of topics, which nevertheless gradually build up an intimate portrait and a tragic-comic demonstration of various ways of dealing with form and content within the context of contemporary dance and theater. Dimchev is a choreographer and performer from Bulgaria. Read more

Hello from Bogliasco,
With three days to go, I am driven to make connections between the edited video of relics and nature, soundtracks and movement images.
I seem to be obsessed with my shadow – as it crosses over into different realms of time and space. The piece is a movie within a movie – the soundtracks of pop tunes from David Bowie to Boney M are creating a kind of musical about masking mortality – which I didn’t anticipate.
The images in the new video footage come from a museum underneath the San Lorenzo church in Genoa. Genoa is 30 minutes by bus or train from Bogliasco.
Meet Fellows….
Left to right.. Grigory Kruzhkov, Jo Anna Isaak (husband, Daniel O’Connell), Loren Ghiglione (wife, Nancy Ghiglione)
Grigory Kruzhkov, Literature – Scholarship, Moscow (Russia)
Grigory is a professor at the Russian State University for the Humanities. He has been preparing a comprehensive one-volume edition of Edward Lear (1812-1888) in Russian, representing all kinds of his writings: nonsense rhymes and songs, nonsense tales, alphabets, cookery, botany and more.
Jo Anna Isaak, Visual Arts – Scholarship, New York, New York (USA)
Jo Ann Isaak is a John Marion Chair at Fordham University. She is working on a book on art and ecology entitled “The Greening of the Avant-garde.” What she will examine is the repeated realization on the part of individual artists and groups of artists of what is at stake for artists today in the radical avant-garde gestures of modernism and the implications of the modernist tradition on contemporary ecological art practices.
Loren Ghiglione, History, Evanston, Illinois (USA)
Loren Ghiglione is a Richard A. Schwarzlose Professor of Media Ethics at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. His project “Searching for America” is a personal history book about identity in America. He has used his time at the Study Center to complete research on the first Ghigliones in America, who arrived from Liguria in the 1870’s.

This is my last Bogliasco blog – It has been an honor to be part of this illustrious group of Fellows and to experience such a beautiful and safe haven in which to be creative. Many thanks to the Bogliasco Foundation, the Liguria Study Center and the wonderful staff that made me feel at home.
Ciao, Karen
