After the first interactions between the Tsarino collective and the locals, many stories went around the village of Chorbadzhiysko. Why did these westerners come to the deserted village Tsarino? What are they doing there? Are they gold diggers, into tortoise business, smuggling women or body builders?
In the end the collective told the locals, "we are landscape painters". That seemed plausible, as the landscape is very beautiful.
The concept for this performance was initiated by me and became a collaborative work together with Terry Vreeburg. In practice nobody in the collective is a landscape painter. I wanted to present a landscape painter of highest standards and asked Terry if he would be interested in becoming van Gogh.
Terry Vreeburg took part in the art-residency program in the village Tsarino, Bulgaria. There he made three paintings of the surrounding and a fourth one during his performance.
The performance was held during the opening of the exhibition, Tsarino 2011, in the nearby village Chorbadzhiysko. The art-residency and exhibition were organized by the Tsarino foundation.
