ATINATI Talks — Informal Artistic Groups: Archivarius, The Tenth Floor, and The Marjanishvili Period

ATINATI Talks — Informal Artistic Groups: Archivarius, The Tenth Floor, and The Marjanishvili Period ATINATI Art Center will hosted a new edition of the ATINATI Talks series, dedicated to one of the most interesting and transformative periods in contemporary Georgian art of the 1980s and 1990s.

These developments played an important role in shaping a new language of contemporary Georgian art and fostering independent artistic thinking. The main topics of the discussion was “Archivarius,” “The Tenth Floor,” and “The Marjanishvili Period” — significant artistic experiences that emerged at different times and in different contexts, and which have become an important part of the recent history of Georgian art. The discussion featured: Guram Tsibakhashvili — Photographer and photography researcher Mamuka Tsetskhladze — Artist Oleg Timchenko — Artist The speakers discussed the people, spaces, and informal networks that had a significant influence on the development of Georgian art in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as the creative environment of the period, which has since become an important chapter in the history of contemporary Georgian art. The informal art collectives of the 1980s and 1990s played an important role in shaping the subsequent development of contemporary Georgian art. They created spaces in which Georgian artists actively engaged with Western artistic processes and trends, contributing to the integration of Georgian art into a broader international context.
