Exhibition/Performance ‘Guernica’
The exhibition/performance is inspired by Pablo Picasso's painting - Guernica. The work is divided into twelve equal parts, a copy of each part was made independently by twelve contemporary Georgian artists from the Guild of Artists.
The work consists of 3 symbols:
The first is the sacred number 12, which is represented by 12 artists:
• Ramaz Razmadze
• Teona Paichadze
• Ketevan Shalamberidze
• Manana Kavtaradze
• Mamuka Tshekladze
• Lia Shvelidze
• Oleg Timchenko
• Maka Gotsiridze
• Vakho Bugadze
• Davit Khidasheli
• Gega Paksashvili
• Giorgi Gugushvili
The second is the visual dynamics and intensity of Picasso's work, which symbolically expresses the current political and social situation in Georgia.
The third is a square, the size of the assembled work is 2.70 x 5.40. These are two squares. The square is the basic geometric figure of the Georgian font and architecture.
The 12 artists, with their individual signatures and independently of each other, created the work when the puzzle was put together, it turned out that each artist was unknowingly participating in the creation of a significant story and work of Art.
