GLIMPSE IN GALLERY - INTERLING

#Glimpseingallery - Levan Chogoshvili’s (b. 22.05.1953) first solo show that was held in Georgia, in ATINATI’S Cultural Center in 10.05.2023 - 10.07.2023 brought together all of his works spanning a 50-year-period. The exposition showed all the different media used by Levan Chogoshvili since 1970, including 40 works (using oil on canvas, tempera, cardboard, paper, and mixed media), and five video artworks. The works were exhibited in the following series: “Destroyed Aristocracy” (1970-1985) “Venus and Mar(k)s” (1970-1980) “The Donkey's Way” The works from the 1990s - videos, performances, activities, texts, and objects – echo the socio-political situation in Georgia at that time. Most of them were created in collaboration with Archil Chogoshvili, who carried out similar activities in Moscow during the 1960s, beginning from his student days. The name of the exhibition "INTERLING" is one of the invented terms that originated when Levan Chogoshvili and his brother Archil Chogoshvili were working on their joint artistic projects. If “Interlink”is related to the unification of spaces and the accumulation of time, "INTERLING"implies linguistic links. The term also reminds us of the findings of the Georgian avant-garde, such as Ilia Zdanevich's wordplay and abbreviations. The exhibition hosted by ATINATI'S Cultural Center
