La lettre s’approche à sa
destination encore un moment
d’attente en haleine et voilà qu’à
l’entrée un trouble soudain éclate.
Galeria Wschód is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Tbilisi-born, Düsseldorf-based artist Keta Gavasheli (b.1990) titled Skład pamięci.
Drawing inspiration from a 1967 happening by Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor (1915 – 1990) titled The Letter, the work sees Gavasheli debut new photographs, sound installation and objects created to speak to Kantor’s legacy. This exhibition is part of a year-long program by Wschód New York presenting Polish historical and avant-garde voices in dialogue with contemporary positions.
