  Want to hear me ?
Chris Ritke from 49media.com had an interview with me a couple of days ago on Caucasus, Georgia and Art. You can hear it as a podcast or via a direct link to a mp3-file
of 7mb. The Interview is around 30 minutes. It is a big pleasure to meet with Chris and his 49media.com Channel. But I warn you of my German-English ;-(

  Art Spam
Lately Spammers becoming more and more funny, sometimes even a sort of Romanciers or Poets,
so I don't delete the complete whole spam anymore, but save some of them in my new folder /art-spam/ ...for later artistic use. Allthough images are mainly from the Caucasus Area, it doesn't mean that this spam I get is from here, but who knows from where. Of course such a dialogue almost could happen everywhere. The Image is from September 1996 and shows me with two friends on the Pass Dshutis- Perevali 3333m. The image shot my friend Henning Tappe, now a happy teacher of History in the German Town, Lubeck, btw where Thomas Mann was from ;-)

  Sergei Rachmaninov and Brocks Art Blogs
I really like Brocks work: http://bohemianparadise.blogspot.com/ and http://caviargallery.blogspot.com/ and he is a admirer of Rachmaninov, so I think, he didnt hear of the Photographer Eduard Klar and this image he shot in Tbilisi, Georgia 1911, he probably did not see yet ?

  Georgian Pop Art Classic
today I bought this assemblage from 1964 of Rustavi based Artist Otari Chkhartishvili. I am amazed of the period of the so called "Anti- Soviet-Art", called so by Soviet bureaucrats and officials then. The Artists understood themselfs as Pop Artists but got labeled as Formalists, wich could be then a constant threat to an artistic career, even prosecution. Lots of those artists were never allowed to join a show. It was a big honor to me too today, to listen to the weird history of Georgian Art in the time of Stalin, Krushtshov and Breshnev and to have wine with Otari and Amiran Kakabadze, the son of David Kakabadze.



Otari Chkhartishvili, Class of 1953, 1964

There is an interesting site on David Kakabadze's works and his life by
Ketevan Kintsurashvili:
http://www.z-kkal.iatp.ge/page1e.html
Here is a landscape
"Demonstration in Imeretia. 1942" and a exerpt from above website



"To satisfy requirements Kakabadze included the image of an electric power plant into Imeretian “carpet-like” landscapes. They did not like them too on the ground that the builders of Socialism were not represented there. In one of the pictures, under Imereti mountain he painted demonstrators with streamers (“Meeting in Imereti”, 1942). On the streamers there were portraits of Lenin, Stalin and Beria. It is a historic canvas. After the death of Stalin, when Khruschev announced a fight against “personality cult”, on Kakabadze’s canvas in the museum depository Beria’s and Stalin’s portraits were dyed over."

As the Demonstration is painted completely different, and the image gets something very ironic, I could think: Yeah, a Georgian was the first POSTMODERNIST ! 1942 !
