Museums, galleries, libraries are being opened, in compliance with all security measures, Boil Banov announced in a briefing to the Minister of Culture.
Cinemas will also be able to work, cultural events will be allowed, but with an occupation of 30 percent of the corridors (probably the air conditioners in them will be off), in which they are organized, and theatrical performances and musical events will be only at fresh air. Preferably – performances with fewer participants. The minister hopes that these percentages will soon become 50. Support for large cinemas is being considered through economic measures.
“We are moving towards measures to strengthen the activities of the entire independent artist sector,” Boil Banov said during the briefing. Specify that this concept includes all those who work in the field of art: artists, actors, singers, directors, dancers, writers, etc.
BGN 2 million has already been provided, for which people with incomes of up to BGN 1,000 were entitled to apply. More than 1000 applications have been submitted, which will be considered for days, and the money brought. The Cabinet has reserved an additional 5 million BGN to support culture. Since then, the salaries of artists from government institutions have received their salaries, actors will not be able to depend on subsidy tickets for the moment, as it was before the pandemic, but only on their income.
Through the ministry’s programs, BGN 500,000 will be awarded for the creation of plays. The same is the amount for the creation of musical works (500 thousand BGN), new dance performances (500 thousand BGN) and visual arts (500 thousand BGN).
BGN 800,000 is provided for the distribution of theatrical, musical and dance products, that is when they are ready to have an easier way of being accessible to the spectators. Powering the Culture Fund provides 1.5 million support for organizations that have their own stages for performances like circuses and cinemas. BGN 700,000 are for small projects related to individual artists, and the goal is to trigger the creation of a cultural product via the Internet. “We started immediately with all the programs,” said Banov.
“The money for the cinema has not been touched. 2 million will be distributed to libraries. In addition, until now 10% of the subsidies for administrative needs have been granted, now they become 35 so that more people can participate,” he added. the minister.
“More than BGN 7 million is distributed twice through the Norwegian program, which is again for independent artists and contemporary arts. These are serious projects, respectively with serious sums inside. I think the measures at the moment are adequate. This is not is your final decision “There will be more. It all depends on the dynamics of the situation. I insist that this is an intermediate stage for the support of the sector, “said Banov.
“I don’t understand the case of the Red House. The property there is mixed and that makes it very difficult to turn it into a museum in the name of the great sculptor Andrei Nikolov, but the problem has to be solved. There is a mixed property in the Red House” . “In the early 1960s, one of the heirs to the sculpture donated part of it to the state,” the minister explained. Then it becomes public property and compensation is paid to the heirs. In 2000, another heir, through restitution, recovered part of the home’s ownership, which includes the first floor above ground, as well as 12/14 of the study “Entering an Incompatible Royal Cohabitation,” Banov added. According to him, it all started with an advertisement on a website saying that the “Red House” was for rent. This is illegal, so the state stepped in and the owner removed the ad. The National Gallery does not intend to rent its share in the future, and the Jerassi Foundation and Dimitar Gochev are considering filming a documentary about the grandmaster in the house. The NH even has 14 exhibits, photos and documents of Andrei Nikolov’s work, with which it is possible to make an exhibition immediately. But the flat, owned by the heir, has been converted into a hostel, Banov said. In the house there will only be performances by artists and realization of art projects.
“Vejdi Rashidov is an exceptional artist and, like any artist, he is an extreme man. I work well with him,” Banov said when asked about the tension between him and the chairman of the culture and media commission over the monument. cultural.
