The Map of Georgian Art
November, 2024
68 Razmadze Street
Baia Gallery presents the exhibition – The Map of Georgian Art. Participating artists are from the generation of the 80s – Niniko Morbedadze, Irakli Sutidze, Merab Abramishvili, and Zaza Berdzenishvili. From the previous generation – Gogi Chagelishvili, Levan Chogoshvili, Irakli Parjiani. From the later period – Mamuka Tsetskhladze, Kako Topouria. We united the artists by several factors – those who created the map of Georgian art at the end of the 20th century, established their territory, “opened” new virtual worlds, “invented” new characters, and introduced new schemes, positions, context, emotion, and voice.
We have represented the artists since the gallery opened in 1992. For 32 years, the gallery has existed through them, and I thank them for that. Only a small group of gallery artists participate in this exhibition, as much as the space accommodates and cannot include all the artists participating in the process. This is a small part of the territory of Georgian art, which we invite you to see. We will continue to “expose the map.
The works are presented from the artist’s private and gallery collections.
