Contemporary Art of Georgia from the 80s and 90s in the Tbilisi State Gallery

A wonderful well curated show by Irina Popiashvili on display till November 22 in the State Blue Gallery of the National Museum (next to Kashveti church) showing the today famous group of artists working loosely together at Marjanishvili Theater in the End of the 80s.

A highly recommended show, that should go directly into a future Georgian Museum of Contemporary Art. 

Perfectly fits the photography of Guram Tsibakhashvili, who documented the Art scene in these years of the break down of the Soviet Union in Georgia.

BLOG: Critical thoughts about Georgian Contemporary Art Situation. By Nini Palavandishvili (georgianfemaleartists.blogspot.com)

(Raw material, fragment)


Contemporary art and contemporary art environment is very young term in Georgia. In 2004, as i returned from Germany to Georgia, the situation i found was very difficult in terms of there was no public present of contemporary art scene in Georgia. All the active artist were working in their ateliers and there was no communication taking place in the general public. There are several problems, which are reciprocal and accumulate a general situation which we face today in Georgia's art scene.

There is no pre-programmed residency available in Tbilisi (there are art pensions for artists), and very rear opportunities for curators and theoreticians to work in and about Georgia and Caucasus. It is important to stress that our residency program is emphasizing a collaborative process with institutions, organizations and culture producers from the Caucasus region to strengthen and extend the artistic foundation of this area and to encourage and stimulate the exchange of knowledge and the production of significant cultural projects on long-term basis.
