Exception Expérience
Group Exhibition
Treize, Paris
February 4–February 25, 2023

Pack, protect, ship. At a time when logistics have become more than ever a key infrastructure of capitalism, everyday consumer goods acquire an aura conferred by their packaging. A source of excitement, we unfold the flaps of a package as if we were walking through a door to memory, closely attuned to our desires.
Once it has been emptied, packaging attests to an inner life governed by the never-ending task of searching for that missing thing. It is something more than the mere waste of globalisation, then: it contains within itself a more secret, more intimate world. Before, it is a promise; after, it is a receptacle for our memories, for our ghosts.

Thea Djordjadze
if I were an early person
April 9–June 1, 2019
Los Angeles

The work of Thea Djordjadze concerns itself, first and foremost, with the poetics and particularities of space. She combines a variety of artistic, industrial, and unconventional materials to produce works full of contrasts and complexity, which she puts into conversation with the architecture and atmosphere of her exhibition spaces through intimate, considered arrangements. Each of her projects is thus ephemeral in nature, open to future reconfiguration.

Un soir, j’ai assis la beauté sur mes genoux. And I found her bitter. And I hurt her.
July 7–August 26, 2017
Berlin

Un soir, j'ai assis la beauté sur mes genoux. And I found her bitter and I hurt her is a joint exhibition by the long-time collaborators Rosemarie Trockel and Thea Djordjadze. It is the first time that the two installations from 2007 and 2008 are on view in Berlin. The works have an allegorical nature that explores a number of themes pertinent to contemporary art. Issues around the boundaries of media, and the artwork as a fixed concept are called into question, as well as the exhibition space as a representational frame.

listening the pressure that surrounds you
April 30–June 25, 2016
Berlin

Interiors are sites of existential symbolism. They are the place where a child first clashes with the world – a location of real and symbolic protection for the ego. They collect the sediments of cultural history and of our own lives, marking an interspace between us and the world. Few contemporary artists have so cannily, idiosyncratically explored the existential experience of the interior as Thea Djordjadze, whose expansive sculptural installations combine constructed and found elements into intuitive arrangements.

Spoons are different
September 1–September 29, 2012
London

For her multipartite sculptural ensembles, Djordjadze uses everyday materials such as foam, steel, fabric, glass and plaster along with found objects which refer to the classical materials of sculpture but also the traditions of arts and crafts. The artist’s sculptures themselves are situated between form and anti-form, a combination of stable structures and fragile, gestural renderings typically exhibited together in a carefully choreographed setting. The installations, incomplete and fragmentary in character, oscillate between open spatial designs and dense performative gestures, emphasizing the contrasts between mental and actual interior spaces, between intimacy and public presence.

Explain away, ე.ი.
September 22–November 7, 2009
Berlin

Standing at the center of ‘Explain away, ე.ი.' is a wooden construction, a space which may be viewed and entered, a house or the fragment of a house. A site where the ordered delineations between living and working, between private and public have been canceled. Arrangements of things both objective and non-objective, which receive every person with a relaxed easiness and equanimity, regardless of whether he attempts to decipher them or not. Delicate, amorphous forms made of clay, plaster or papier-mâché enter into contact with sketchy paintings and dysfunctional constructions which bear witness to a profound investigation of modernism.

Cologne

The installations, objects and drawings of Thea Djordjadze echo the atmosphere of various art-historical and cultural-historical contexts. After completing her art studies in Tbilisi and Amsterdam, and during her time at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (studying under Dieter Krieg, then Rosemarie Trockel), the artist started work on a series of performances, which define a new framework for communicative exchange and experiences.
