Information

Story as a Woven Carpet is a group exhibition of seven Georgian artists currently living and working in Tbilisi. The exhibition is comprised of cultural fragments and addresses new narratives constructed in the young artists’ work. Georgia has always been somewhat exoticised throughout the history starting from Ancient Greeks and up to the 20th century travelers’ accounts. What others have said and opined about the country is collected in Georgian textbooks and was taught to generations. The artists presented in this exhibition are telling stories from their own perspective. They represent the generation that may have started the process of creating and telling their own stories, similar to Demna Gvasalia’s SS19 Paris show.
