Keta Gavasheli

Wschód New York is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by Tbilisi-born, Düsseldorf-based artist Keta Gavasheli (b. 1990). Titled 'Skład Pamięci', this exhibition is her first in the United States.

Drawing inspiration from a 1967 happening by Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor (1915 - 1990) titled 'The Letter’, the exhibition sees Gavasheli debut new objects, inkjet printed panoramic still images, and video work created to speak to Kantor’s legacy.

This exhibition is part of a year-long programme by Wschód New York presenting Polish avant-garde perspectives in dialogue with contemporary positions.

Keta Gavasheli lives and works in Düsseldorf. She studied Architecture at Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and Fine Arts at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (with Ellen Gallagher and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster).
