Lado Khartishvili - projekt "QARKHAIZMI"  Sculpture

Qarkhaizm-i

Present days, an artist can represent everything as an object of an art or anti -Art.
An act of an art is when it is considered so in a specific space , in a specific time.
An object could be anything: a writing, a communication or a physical thing, object from our life, reality, (deserted factory), important is, an artist to give an intellectual sense, understanding to it/them.
Once, you can get an invitation to an exhibition, and when you get there, find out yourself in a wood, real one, as an artist has made it an object of his artistic views.
An object of an art could not be always only visible.
Nowadays an art doesn't need a space of a museum or a gallery in a centre of a city.
It can be represented everywhere, it's an artist's desire.
Tbilisi,
one of the outline districts,
a factory,
found by chance, by a coincidence,
an object of an art,
three artists,
decision to exhibit it.
They made a gallery there, but it's a strange gallery, uncommon and (somehow) extraordinary.
A half ruined or almost ruined two storied building of a factory and a landscape around it.
They used the space fully.
Exhibition;
objects made from scrap metal,
some paintings,
and installations,
and musicians - artists made them objects of an art also - wrapped in a plastic, cube,
they are almost invisible, but music is heard,
and poets - they read their poems from a bull, constructed from scrap metal,
and trees - growing near ruined walls of a factory,
and even a dead dog in a well, decomposing already.
In short, everything can be used as an object of an art.
And, it's not an usual exhibition, like those in prestigous galleries, in Tbilisi.
As for its name - "Qarkhaizm-i" - artists have thought it and it's semantically in connection with the factory, as in Georgian a factory is "Qarkhana", although the meaning of "Qarkhaizm-i" is absurd.
Thus it can be thought as an example of an art after it is considered as an art,
when an act of an art will take place between the object and the audience,
and there will be a question - 1 July, 5:00 p.m. !
