NINO GOGE GALLERY - ნინო გოგე გალერეა

The "NINO GOGE GALLERY" sees itself as an interface between the local and the international art scene in Tbilisi. Our location is loaded with history and is situated in the heart of Georgia's capital – a place whose cultural narrative and heritage can be interpreted in many ways. By bringing together constantly changing artistic positions and discourses, our gallery also forms a space for active participation, discussion and dialogue within the dynamic social, cultural and political changes. Therefore, the gallery positions itself not only as part of the art market for both up-and-coming and established artists, but also as an intermediary aiming to make current tendencies in contemporary art accessible for a broader public. An active analysis of art and culture is a means of localising these dynamic processes and of forming a critical consciousness. This is what we as a venue for art and culture want to take into account. Based on an innovative curatorial concept, we want to create a space for current artistic developments and a meeting place for the general public by involving the lively art scene of Tbilisi in the current art market activity. We aim to create opportunities for collaborations with international artists, art scientists and critics, and as a both interdisciplinary and interconnected form of organisation we support an open and diversified understanding of art and culture which allows us to offer an experimental and varied exhibition practice. Through the possibilities we offer as a platform for up-and-coming artists, we want to establish an active open space for dialogue and experiment. In addition to our exhibitions of contemporary art we therefore offer various musical performances, readings, film screenings and theme-based workshops and events.
