From 5:30 am to 7:30 am

“From 5:30 am to 7:30 am” brings together a large body of drawings made by Iva Gueorguieva in the early morning, between 5:30 and 7:30 am. The time frame is precisely defined. Within those two hours, the image remains open.

For Gueorguieva, drawing is an ongoing process. She begins without determining everything in advance. A line can change, be drawn again or stop. Sometimes something unexpected happens in the act of drawing. What emerges can take the image in a new direction.

The body plays an important role in this process. Movement, force and the qualities of the material help determine what happens on the paper. The drawing takes shape through the act of making. Gueorguieva’s practice moves between drawing, painting, collage and installation. In her work, forms and images remain in motion. They can appear, shift and disappear again.

At Bradwolff & Partners, the drawings are presented as a multitude. No single drawing takes centre stage; instead, attention shifts to the space between the works: repetition and difference, movement and stillness. Together, they form a series of moments within a defined period of time.

From 5:30 am to 7:30 am shows what can emerge when time provides a framework, while the act of drawing itself remains open.
