格鲁吉亚当代艺术特展

站在多元文明和多元文化的交汇点上，格鲁吉亚始终有着地缘空间上的特殊性，过去的文化延续至今，不同文明和文化之间大量交汇与交流，形成了格鲁吉亚丰富多彩的文化体验。在充分融合东西方艺术精华的同时，格鲁吉亚当代艺术还在许多方面表现出了突破传统、与众不同的魅力。艺术家们既保持了当代艺术的先锋精神，同时也对本国的文化遗产有着深刻考量。所有作品尽管有着粗糙的托盘和怀旧的外表，却都在时间的停滞和永恒的运动之间存在着明显的张力。这些作品往往富于表现力，情感强烈，偶尔又转瞬即逝，类似于想象世界的核心，甚至是我们大多数人无法接触到的一个有形领域。

Standing at the crossroads of multiple civilizations and cultures, Georgia has always been a geocultural space where the past persists into the present and where the prolific encounters and exchanges between distinct civilizations and cultures melt into a rich and diverse cultural experience of its own.

While excessively incorporating the best from the East and the West, the contemporary Georgian art landscape stands out as unconventional in many ways. These artists manage to remain in the vanguard of contemporary art and at the same time are vigilant to cultural legacy and thoughtfulness.All images, despite their coarsely grained frame and nostalgic looks, contain a perceptible tension between the stagnation of time and dynamism of everlasting motion.These creations are often expressive and intense and occasionally ephemeral, resembling the shots from the heart of an imaginary world or even a very tangible realm that most of us are unable to get in touch with.
