Swiss artists
The festival Artisterium IV, one of the largest contemporary art events in the South Caucasus, was held between October 31 and November 12 in Tbilisi, Georgia. About a hundred artists participated this year, invited by 12 co-curators from 18 countries. Referring to the show’s title, “Free Fall,” head curator Magda Guruli explained in the catalog: “This year participants are offered a chance of unrestricted movement in space, time, free from any emotional or intellectual directives. They are at liberty to select their own theme, develop ongoing interests in relation to the place where the work is to be shown. The artist can choose any subject, medium, social or philosophical position.”
