In-between

2017

State Silk Museum presented a solo exhibition of New York-based Georgian artist Levan Mindiashvili entitled “…inbetween” consisting of an installation created with pigmented plaster sculptures and jacquard vowed tapestries. The physical nature of his chosen materials - lightweight plaster mimicking steady concrete and soft fabrics erected as walls - respond to the conditions that are central in Mindiashvili’s practice: transitional state of today’s world in yet unknown present and fragility of all possible paradigms, notions or values.

Levan Mindiashvili holds his BFA in sculpture from Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and realized post-graduate studies at The National University of Arts of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Among his awards are Commission Grant for Public Art Projects from National Endowments for Arts, New York, 2014 and Emerging Artist of 2011, Movistar Arte Jóven, Buenos Aires, Argentina. His works had been included in recent group exhibitions at Tbilisi History Museum, (Georgia); Literature Museum, Tbilisi (Georgia), Arsenal, Kyiv (Ukraine), Tartu Art Museum (Estonia); Clemente Soto Center, New York; The Lodge Gallery, New York. This exhibition was made possible through the project “Pixel Generation - Summer School” supported by Tbilisi City Hall
