Spontanität geht über geregelte Rahmen und festgeschriebene Gesetze hinaus. Als Eigenschaft wird sie dann als positiv empfunden, wenn man sie aus der Distanz beobachtet und in anderen Kulturen als etwas Authentisches und Emotionales wahrnimmt. Wenn man in Georgien unterwegs ist, so scheint Vieles von Spontanität geprägt zu sein. Spontane Handlungsresultate, die sich weniger auf lang verhandelte Planungen und Konzepte, sondern auf das schnelle Reagieren einzelner Menschen oder Bevölkerungsgruppen beziehen, werden in der Architektur, in der Dingwelt, aber auch in den sozialen Beziehungen sichtbar und erfahrbar. Die „spontane Architektur“ als inoffizielle und ohne Expertise errichtete Bausubstanz findet ihren Ausdruck in verschiedenen Formaten und prägt mittlerweile das Stadtbild von Tbilisi. Kamikaze loggias als eine Erweiterung des Wohnraumes, provisorische Architekturstützen als Schutz gegen den Einsturz von Häusern und spontane Kreuze als Gedenkmonumente ohne Genehmigung im öffentlichen Raum sind einige wenige Beispiele dafür. Sind solche spontanen Formen und Formate der Selbstorganisation eine Reaktion auf ökonomische Missstände oder wohnt diese Art von Spontanität der georgischen kulturellen Identität inne? Ist es der westliche Blick, der diese Spontanität erst als solche definiert? Und wie kann „spontane Architektur“ in künstlerische Arbeiten und in Ausstellungsräume übersetzt werden?
Das Ausstellungsprojekt Spontaneous Frameworks zeigt Arbeiten Studierender von Prof. Tina Bara und eingeladener KünstlerInnen und ArchitektInnen aus Tbilisi, und versucht, eine transkulturelle Perspektive auf scheinbar lokales Phänomen der "spontanen Architektur' zu werfen. Drei parallel laufende Ausstellungen an drei verschiedenen Orten verhandeln das Thema durch das Prisma der linguistischen, räumlichen und kulturellen Bedeutungen des Begriffes Übersetzung.

Spontaneity extends above and beyond regulated frameworks and written laws. As a feature it is then perceived as positive when gazed from a distance, and perceived as something authentic and emotional, in other cultures. When one travels in Georgia, so much seems to be characterised by spontaneity. Outcomes of spontaneous action, relate less to long-negotiated plans and concepts, than on the swift reactions of individuals. These outcomes are visible and tangible in architecture, in the world of objects, but also in social relations. 'Spontaneous architecture' as unofficial and crudely erected built structure, is expressed in various forms and characterises the current cityscape of Tbilisi. Kamikaze loggias as extensions of the living space, provisional architectural supports as protection against the collapse of houses, and spontaneous crucifixes, as unauthorised commemorative monuments within the public space, are but a few examples. Are such spontaneous forms and formats of self-organisation responses to economic inadequacies, or, are these types of spontaneity inherent to Georgian cultural identity? Is the Western gaze, the sole definer of this spontaneity as such? And how can 'spontaneous architecture' be translated in art works and exhibition spaces?
The exhibition project Spontaneous Frameworks showcases works of students studying under Prof. Tina Bara and invited artists and architects from Tbilisi in an effort to cast a transcultural perspective on seemingly local phenomena of 'spontaneous architecture'. Three exhibitions will run parallel in three different locations and negotiate the issue through the prism of linguistic, spatial and cultural meanings of the term translation.
Rahmenprogramm/frame program
22-29/04
Ana Chorgolashvili (Tbilisi):
Index: Soviet Architecture in Tbilisi
Künstleringespäch mit Videopräsentationen/artist talk with video screening, KV 25/04, 6 pm
After the collapse of the USSR, Soviet urban planning and development in Georgia halted, particularly in the capital, Tbilisi. At the 20th century’s end, in the period of transformations and political and economic crisis, the centralised system of civic government failed, resulting in many micro schemes. Inhabitants began constructing spaces individually; some architectural hybrids originated, becoming spontaneous segments of the city, giving the capital a new look. From the beginning of the 21st century, 'new' building priorities were announced in Tbilisi, resulting in a massive city wide building process. Parts of old buildings disappeared, while other parts re-colored accordingly, had lost their original look and original message. A non-systemic approach has become a new governance system. Ana Chorgolashvili will speak about her ongoing research project Index focusing on Soviet architectural heritage in Tbilisi and its post-Soviet development.

Dauer/duration: 2 h
Curator of the project Kristina Semenova who spent one month in Tbilisi at GeoAIR residency researching on the topic will introduce her curatorial concept as well as selected art works.
Sophia Lapiashvili (Tbilisi):
Lost Utopias in Tbilisi. Mosaics from the Soviet period
Präsentation/lecture, KV 29/04, 6 pm
Artist, curator and former coordinator of artist residency GeoAIR, Sophia Lapiashvili, presents a talk focused on the intensive changes within the public space that have been taking place throughout the last 20 years in Tbilisi, and have given rise to the interest of GeoAIR members in the monumental-decorative mosaics. Unsystematic transformation of urban environment, amateur interventions in forming the image of the city, and façade 'beautifications', have led to destruction of mosaics in Tbilisi’s public spaces. This became the reason behind documenting them, creating the database and online map. Lost Heroes of Tbilisi. Soviet Period Mosaics was a part of the SPACES project, funded by the European Union through the Eastern Partnership Culture Programme.
Sophia Tabatadze (Berlin/Tbilisi):
Pirimze: A Place transforming to a Non-Place
Vortrag/lecture, KV 29/04, 7 pm
Artist and founder of artist residency GeoAIR, Sophia Tabatadze presents a talk on her three years of research into social and visual changes affecting Pirimze, a six-floor edifice from the Soviet era, built especially to house repair and maintenance services. The theme unfolds to a broader picture and shows what has been happening in Georgia since the Soviet Union’s collapse. One may view Pirimze, a 40 minute experimental documentary film, in the exhibition space of the HGB. Beginning as a curious journey though the labyrinths of Pirimze and observing fascinating skills performed by craftsmen who once worked there, the story moves beyond the façade of the newly renovated business center Pirimze Plaza, which replaced Pirimze, and questions the need and motives for this transformation.
