Studio Projects
----------------
Rebirth ( 2013 ) project aims to give a new life to the heritage of a famous Georgian school of typography and art of font design. We came up with the idea to use inscriptions from gravestones which were made by hand. Each of them was created uniquely by artists for an unique person. For us those stones werenโt grave stones with names on them, they were stone book covers with titles. Behind each name there was a story of life. We recreate 7 unique fonts while strolling in the Pantheon of Tbilisi where famous poets, actors and other distinguished people rest. Most of the fonts once had been designed just to write one name, so we had to design in the same style the rest of the letters. Each of the new font has got a name of this or that historic personality who played an important role in Georgiaโs history. REBIRTH Project was exposed during Frankfurt Messeโ 2018 in the Klingspore Type Museum in Offenbach.
Georgia : Special Characters project (2016) focusing on the Georgian Typography and Alphabet heritage. More than 18 Georgian fonts where restored by our initiative and art direction from an unique printed samples of XIX - XX century with Georgian typographers Malkhaz Iashvili and Merab Getsadze during last 12 years.
A collaborative project โ One Wall Gallery consists of two steps. A First step is focused on disposing young artistsโ works as statement on the white wall of Black Dog Shop. Chosen artists create about de nite, research topic artworks, what means dialogue or a visual research of contemporary artists in different contexts. Artists in different Medias contemplate historic, current cultural-political themes in Georgia. On the second step an artistic statement on the white wall gains more profound charac- ter. Chosen artistsโ works assimilate with different functional buildings, where a mobile white wall, the same, One Wall Galleryโs verso wall will represent a photo material of the research topic and text on the current exhibition. An artistic statement, a photo archive and a transformed space with a mobile wall will be a new statement on coexistence of the ction and documentaries. A Given, two-staged project will be realized four times per annum, thus, annually will be chosen four artists via open call. Implemented exhibitions of the given project will be extended in the publication of One Wall Gallery, as an entire result. A summary edition will contain: critical articles referred to the artists, an analysis of cultural-political contexts and a photo material about implemented exhibitions or archive.
One Wall Gallery Project in itself contains intuitive and an interpretative coworking process with contemporary artists. โAnti-galleryโ idea oriented against widespread, foreseen con- cepts or exhibitions, aims to represent artists works in an impulsive dialogue format. Correlating art- istsโ work to certain concepts and extending them in Georgian, historic-realistic or a cultural-political context nally are implemented on one wall gallery white wall, which gives to the exhibition idea an advertising meaning. On the white wall of one wall gallery is crucial to interpret and transform artistsโ inner impulses in a cultural-political context, nevertheless this project is curated neither by curator nor by artist. A basic actor of the project is a white wall with the principle of โTabula Rasaโ.
