Tbilisi 16! In the first week of September the Kunsthalle Zurich relocated its programming to the outskirts of Tbilisi, Georgia. Here is what they planned to do:

 

Tbilisi 16 takes place in the small village of Shindisi, just above Tbilisi, on an empty lot of land on Merab Kostava Street where we will build a stage. There, on September 1, 2, and 3, a series of performances, concerts, presentations, and talks will be staged, open to the public, and for free. We daily start at 5pm and it runs until 9pm. On the last day, on September 4th, this festivalesque exhibition ends with a big dinner and an open microphone.

Participating artists, projects and collectives: Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili, Marie Angeletti, Ei Arakawa, Levan Asabashvili (Urban Reactor), Géraldine Beck & Miriam Laura Leonardi, Bouillon Group, Levan Chogoshvili, Danarti Magazine, Dima Dadiani, Nikolas Gambaroff, GeoAIR (Nini Palavandishvili, Data Chigholashvili), Tue Greenfort, Karl Holmqvist, Marc Hunziker & Chantal Kaufmann & Rafal Skoczek (UP STATE), Yannic Joray, Emil Michael Klein, Tobias Madison, Nik O Nik, Gela Patashuri, Leila Peacock, Emanuel Rossetti, Georgia Sagri, Dennis Schroer & Hannes Schmidt (Dingum), Scrimpy, Stefan Tcherepnin, Tobias Spichtig, Ramaya Tegegne, Traveling Art Books, Hanna Törnudd, Bob van der Wal, Roger Van Voorhees, Andro Wekua, and others.
