Wall, Coarse Calico, Parquet - Nika Kutateladze

2016

‘Wall, Coarse calico, Parquet’ consists of the parts of the building located at 22 Kazbegi Ave – The Hematology and Blood Transfusion Institute, which will be presented at former bus station at 8 Sanapiro St. It has been transformed into an exhibition area for the installation. The place of the Blood Transfusion Institute old building of soviet times will be overtaken by a huge skyscraper. Nothing will be left from the clichéd architecture typical to the 20th century. Qutateladze presents parts of the building as the exhibition objects. Part of our daily lives and seemingly unimportant details become focus of the visitor, which were influencing people’s consciousness over the years and are disappearing now with the transformation of urban space.

The project was developed by the support of NGO "Iare Pekhit".
