ANDRO DADIANI — WINDOW PROJECT

Andro Dadiani
September 28 -November 2,2024
Opening: September 28th, 18:00
E.Tatishvili st.9, Tbilisi

Window Project presents an exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Andro Dadiani showcasing artworks from different times. The recent neglect of basic human needs has created a sense of insecurity. On the one hand, the exhibition is a manifesto of personal weakening; on the other, it is a call to great, metaphysical energies addressed to nature.

From the routine of cleaning the city from garbage, which began alone, new ideas were born, and an attempt was made to unite with greater metaphysical forces.

The installation presented at the exhibition is completed by fragment Z. From Paliashvili’s “Daisi,” where the words sound: “God, give me strength and effort, by Your grace I am strong,” this phrase permeates the exhibition like a latent desire.

The installation is supported by the Heinrich Boell Foundation Tbilisi Office - South Caucasus Region

In our age of loneliness, people call upon all their strength to survive. For individual survival, we often cause irreparable damage to the overall environment through excessive and improper consumption.
Rebooting trash with social, political and visual meaning, along with green politics, is a kind of humanitarian act with the spirit of things. The energy drink cans used in the work were collected from the streets, bars, and cafes, and the public contributed to the work by leaving cans in the gallery.
If the person praying in front of the cross was seeking spiritual and physical strength, there was no apparent connection between drinking energy drinks and going to the gym with prayer, and this work shows that connection.
Zakaria Paliashvili’s music, with its drama and heroic lyrics, brings the installation into a modern context. It underscores that the search for spiritual and physical strength is not a distant or abstract concept, but a relevant and everyday matter for all of us.
