Maia Naveriani - Tongue Exercises For Speechless Peaches

2018

Project ArtBeat presents Maia Naveriani’s solo exhibition - TONGUE EXERCISES FOR SPEECHLESS PEACHES

"The show is a compilation of drawings from 2008 to 2018 gathering together many versions of the subjective interpretation of the language of drawing.

The title of the show itself suggests that the process of searching for, exploring and creating a new language can be interpreted as an attempt to overcome clichés in order to articulate the common reality in a new, rejuvenated way.

These drawings, different in style and approach, are like variations of “tongue” exercises that should deconstruct and destabilize familiar signs and “habits” thus creating re-generated dynamics and vibrations in the hope of forming a new speech for refreshed communication." - Maia Naveriani.
