ART:

TWO HOPES - ART CAUCASUS 2007

In the last evening I visited this small vernissage of contemporary art in the Opera from Tbilisi which is curated by BasementArtProject.com

This Artist can you see there from 17 – 26 October 2007:

Andro Semeiko, Yu-Chen Wang, Mamuka Japaridze, Cyril Lepetit, Mathijs Lieshout, Nick Goulis, Mauricio Lupini, Charlie Tweed, Toine Klaassen and Clare Gasson


British Council Georgia in cooperation with Art Caucasus is pleased to announce the exhibition ‘Two Hopes’ in the frames of the annual International Contemporary Art Forum - Art Caucasus 2007.

‘Two Hopes’ is curated by BasementArtProject.com. It reflects on a multi–layered picture of a post–ideal society from the artist’s perspective. It intends to shift the standpoint from the objective to the subjective, investigating the artist’s experience in the contemporary world in opposition to the magnificent utopian dream. The exhibition begins with a search for the ideal society and moves to a reflection on migration and relocation to the new territories. More questions are raised than answered paralleling the interplay between conceptual and formal structures.
