The Mayor of the Bulgarian Black Sea town of Balchik, has invited Czech artist David Cerny to visit the town, the local municipality press center reports. In a letter, addressed to Czech Culture Center in Sofia, the Mayor states that a work of art must not be construed literally.

"Balchik hosts many art happenings and David Cerny is welcome to participate in one of them or to have his own exhibit," the letter says.

"If Cerny would accept my invitation, he would certainly see that Bulgaria can be associated with much more pleasant things than what he saw when depicting Bulgaria in his Entropa piece," the Mayor commented...
