Merab Gugunashvili - Heavy Armour

2021

Merab Gugunashvili's first solo show - "Heavy Armour". 

The works presented at the exhibition are created around one theme. In terms of personal and shared experience, the artist questions the rules and norms set by the society as to what it means to be a ‘man'.
The exhibition talks about the obligations and responsibilities that society imposes on people based on their gender.
The much-desired ‘masculinity’ is built on the many ‘musts’ dictated by society, and over time, these very pillars become the most fragile parts of the whole.
