Conceived as international forum in 2011, orthogonal introduces the Bulgarian public to a variety of contemporary artists and theoreticians who work in the field of non-objective art. Apart from an exhibition of artefacts the event offers a programme of lectures, screenings and workshops for children. The events deal with contemporary and historical issues of this art movement little known in Bulgaria. All four editions of the forum have been supported by the Gaudenz B. Ruf Award. A total of 35 authors from 14 countries have so far been represented at orthogonal.
