Press release

As a continuation of the group show The Main Entrance,  conducted at Hollybush Gardens exactly two years ago,  we consider that chapter not yet closed and grow this  context with returning and new artists involved in the  second version of The Main Entrance in our Tbilisi  location.  The exhibition brings together work by artists from  Telavi, Tbilisi, Berlin and Düsseldorf; Ketuta Alexi-  Meskhishvili, Tolia Astakhishvili, Vati Davitashvili,  Thea Djordjaze, Keta Gavasheli, and Simon Lässig.  The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by Alexandra  Symons-Sutcliffe on photography’s capacity to reproduce  the world as image: its reality being both a product  of its technical apparatus and its institutional  promiscuity. Within the exhibition, these concerns take  on various forms: from the collaging or staging of  images to taking over and reproducing pre-existing forms  — each work looks towards a method of constructing and  reconstructing a reality.
