Skopje, 18 September 2021 (MIA) – President Stevo Pendarovski on Saturday visited an exhibition of works by renowned Macedonian sculptor Petar Hadzhi Boshkov at the archeological site Stobi, which is part of a project titled “Discovering the Future: Archeology of Modernity.” The exhibition features around forty representative works from several of the artist’s creative phases, spanning across four decades from 1962 to 2004. Pendarovski expressed support and praised the overall concept of the project, which also contributes to the revival of Stobi, his office said in a press release. “We must not allow the legacy of our internationally recognized srtists to be forgotten. Given the significance of Petar Hadzhi Boshkov’s work, it’s a privilege to see his artworks that have long been kept in his personal possession,” Pendarovski said. The idea for an exhibition of sculptures by Petar Hadzhi Boshkov at the Stobi archeological site stems from the program “Stobi – A Living City.” The works are displayed at several specific locations at the archeological site, representing the connection between modern and ancient values.
