Museum of Transformation

2017

Group show "Museum of Transformation" at State Silk Museum.

Participants: Soso Dumbadze, Kristin Ergeizinger, Tessa Knapp, Natalia Nebieridze. 

Museum of Transformation is a contemporary art-project by Tessa Knapp in the frame of German-Georgian Year 2017 that transforms State Silk Museum into a museum of change. In reference to the museums’ collection, artists follow the metaphor of the cocoon as a continuous process of transformation, creating an alternative vision of what a contemporary museum could be.

This art project was funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the German State of North-Rhine-Westphalia, Einstein Foundation Berlin, Institute for Foreign Relations IFA. Realized with the Graduate School at the Berlin University of Arts. Supported by German Embassy Tbilisi.
