Art Intervention at the Museum
residency
01.03.16 - 30.01.17
The project by the State Silk Museum aimed to create a collaboration between local artists and curators, facilitating a dialogue with the museum space. The project involved arranging a working area in the museum space and extending the museum’s themes into the artistic practices of the invited participants. With this initiative, the museum created one of the first precedents of artist intervention in the local art scene. Through this project, four exhibitions were organized:
Soviet Rainbow – From Textile Shop to Museum
Participants:
- Artist Nino Kvrivishvili and Curator Irena Popiashvili
- Artist-performer Nadia Tsulukidze and Curator Lali Pertenava
- Artists Uta Bekaia and Levan Mindiashvili with Curator Elene Abashidze
- Artist Lia Bagrationi and Curator Magda Guruli
Support: “Regional Art and Culture Project in the South Caucasus”, managed by the Culture and Management Lab with financial support of the Swiss Cooperation Office for the South Caucasus (SCO).
