Das Projekt „TIFLIS TRANSFER“ wurde konzipiert von der Münchener Künstlerin Patricia London Ante Paris, die sich von Oktober 2007 bis Juli 2009 in Tiflis aufhielt.

In dieser Zeit entstanden die „music videos by tbilisi artists“, mit Beiträgen von 8 georgischen Künstlern, das von Patricia London edierte digitale MagazinDEEPART sowie das Video „tender transitory transport“, eine Kooperation mit NikaMachaidze und Koka Ramishvili.

Aus der Ausstellung „New Medea theater collectif in a digital-metafisikal state ofemergency“, die Patricia London im Juli 2009 in Tiflis im New Art kuratierte, sind inSaarbrücken die Videos „Landerror“ von Koka Ramishvili und „Georgian Sexual Revolution“ von Nadia Tzulukidze zu sehen sowie Papierarbeiten von 7 georgischenKünstlerInnen.

Jeden Nachmittag um 16 Uhr zeigt das Künstlerhaus Saarbrücken drei Dokumentarfilme der georgischen Regisseurin Natia Arabuli:

Hotel, GE, 2000, Ramsan und seine Brüder, D, 2006, und Fatimas Erwachen, D ,2009, der am 6. September 2009 um 18:00 in 3SAT ausgestrahlt wird.

Biografien aller beteiligten KünstlerInnen befinden sich in der jeweiligen Ausgabe des Magazins DEEPART in der Ausstellung.

Um die Alle bewegende Frage „Wie kann ich die Welt sehen, wenn ich kein Visum erhalte?“ kreisen die Tifliser Architekturzeichnungen von Patricia London, denn für GeorgierInnen gibt es keine selbstverständliche Reisefreiheit.

Für das Künstlerhaus Saarbrücken hat Patricia London die limitierte Edition "Pygmalion" geschaffen, sie ist im Künstlerhaus erhältlich (siehe Rückseite Katalog).

Mit Beginn der Ausstellung startet der täglich aktualisierte Blog TIFLIS TRANSFER http://tiflistransfer.blogspot.com/

New Medea theater collectif in a digital-metafisikal state of emergency
Im April 2009 bat Patricia LondonAnte Paris in Tiflis Künstler-Innen, sich mit einer Arbeitauf den “New Medea...” Text zubeziehen, der ambivalent aktuelleund vergangene Situationender georgischen Künstler beschreibt,um dann gemeinsameine Ausstellung im NEW ART inTiflis zu machen.

Obwohl die Kunstszene groß (und großartig) ist, gibt es inTiflis weder einen Markt für zeitgenössischeKunst, noch öffentlicheoder privaten Ausstellungsräume,außer kurzfristig vonKünstlern selbst organisierte.Im Ausland auszustellen ist fürKünstler aus den post-sowjetischenStaaten ebenfalls nichteinfach, das liegt weniger anden bspw. georgischen Behörden,als an den strengenVisabestimmungen der Eurozone.

Das NEW ART von Rusiko Oat, die u.a. als Kuratorin für Georgien all & now im Centre for Contemporary Art, Warschau, 2009, organisierte, ist der einzige untergrund space für aktuelle Kunst in Tiflis.

georgian sexual revolution
NADIA TZULUKIDZE
2009, dvd, 11 min.
Georgian Sexual Revolution ist ein Aufklärungsfilm einer georgischen Hausfrau und eines homosexuellen Australiers über die Befriedigung männlicher Bedürfnisse.
Natia Tzulukidze: “The video “Georgian sexual revolution” is connected to Georgian
Rose revolution, which happened in 2003 and was a bloodless revolution that displaced President Eduard Shevardnadze, who is mainly well known in Germany. A sigificant source of funding for the Rose revolution was the network of foundations and NGOs associated
with American billionaire George Soros, who spent 42 million $ for the overthrow
of Shevardnadze.

In January 2004 the leader of the Rose revolution Michael Saakashvili won the presidential elections and took course towards West. He was educated in the United States and became internationally known after the war with Russia in august 2008.
Georgian Rose revolution was an inspiration for Ukrainian Orange revolution in 2004 and Kyrgyzstan Pink or so called Tulip revolution in 2005.
My work is a first investigation into Georgian Sexual revolution, that didn’t happen yet in Georgia, mainly because of the lack of time.



tender transitory transport
PATRICIA LO NDON ANTE PARIS Text, NIKA MACHAIDZE,
Musik, KOK A RAMISHVILI, Video, 2008, dvd, 10 min.

2008 war Patricia London Ante Paris eingeladen zum 850. Geburtstag der Stadt München unter dem Motto “Brücken bauen” ein Werk in Kooperation mit georgischen Künstlern zu schaffen.
“Das video tender transitory transport ist ein filmisches Umherschweifen in der georgischen Hauptstadt Tiflis. Die grafische Bearbeitung der Bilder korreliert mit dem gesprochenen Text und der unterlegten Musik. Die Erkundung der Stadt als Architektur, als politischer
Raum und als Klimazone hat poetische Wurzeln. Es entsteht eine suggestive, psychosoziale Stadtlandschaft.”

The drawings of buildings, which cought her eye, Patricia London made in the first days wandering around in Tbilisi. She had focused exclusively on Soviet and Investment architecture, but this was made clear to her only later by her georgian art friends. All 8 drawings are interconnected by the „man in the moon“, representing the 8 moon phases and 8 portraits
of famous males, which you can as well interpret as a boy‘s most favorites, tatooed on his belly. Arkitekturis was made during the state of emergency for the whole of Georgia from 7th to 15th nov 07, when it was forbidden to go out.

EXHIBITION: New Medea art brings artists together (georgiatoday.ge)

The second part will start on 26. august until 26. septembre in the "Künstlerhaus Saarbrücken". The title would be there "Tiflis Transfer". Aditional there would are an art-blog with the same title to the art and to the capital of Georgia - Tbilisi. Arround the 22. August you can find more here in this blog.

Print version (georgiatoday.ge)
By Anna Chichinadze 10.07.2009

The New Medea Theater Collective launched recently a contemporary art project, whose name alludes to mythology and the reason behind the initiative.
German artist Patricia London Ante Paris, creator and the curator of the project, was disturbed with the distance between artists abroad and in post-Soviet countries. She found it difficult to “reach” Europe for many reasons, with visas topping the list.
Patricia gathered the collective of Georgian artists because she said, “We claim to be democratic countries, but we do not even have the freedom of travel.”
Concerned with this issue, she decided to gather her colleagues to participate in one project.
The first show was held at Tbilisi’s New Art Cafe. The collection will travel to Kuenstlerhaus, Saarbrucken, Germany, in August.
The project is built around the story of the legendary “Golden Fleece.” According to Georgian and Greek legends, Jason and his band of Argonauts arrive to the Kingdom of Colchis — today’s Kolkheti in western Georgia — to find the fleece. Princess Medea helps Jason capture the fleece and later escapes with him. Patricia altered the story as if Jason arrived to the region in search of oil, and Medea promised to help him if he would take the princess and her artist friends abroad.
The exhibition includes all genres of new media, such as video, photography, computer graphics, drawing and mixed techniques.
Sofi Babluani, 22, used a mixed technique to show a woman, Media-Medea Magnate, with a ram in her neck and an oil well in the background. Anthea Nicholson drew two human heads over hills, defining their being as a mix of energy, love and oil. Georgian composer Natia Sartania, also known as “Stia,” provided a rather standard, photographed self-portrait shot in a car mirror, which supposedly reveals the Medea’s feminine nature.
Four videos were also exhibited. In one video, two men in black, motley suits made of paper wave their hands back and forth violently, which expresses confusion over the direction in which oil is flowing.
If one listens with closed eyes Stia’s musical accompaniment creates an ancient atmosphere.
However, the video recalls something more modern and less artistic, perhaps because contemporary art is a tight circle. The collective’s artwork was designed to be small, so it could easily bring the works to Germany, hoping the authors will also follow.
“When the works are exhibited, the artists should be there as well,” painter Nino Chipashvili said. “Otherwise the event will pass without reason. To go further in your work, you need contact, changing ideas and emotions. Offers for future collaborations only come after engaging in personal relations with people in the same space where you show your art.”
“London Ante Paris” is Patricia’s alias which she created for her thesis when graduating from the Munich Arts Academy. She took a new surname, presented as a diploma work, and received an excellent evaluation.
“I like when you cannot read one’s nation, class or race because of a name,” Patricia said, expressing her wish for no boundaries for artists around the world.
