Exhibition – „Sometimes Paradise is a Sad Story“ 4710 Contemporary Art Gallery “The name of the exhibition already promises us something about the celestial realm, but while doing so, it also reveals a kind of melancholy and doubt. What does sadness have to do with paradise? On entering the gallery, one sees entire walls covered with pencil sketches/drawings. It’s hard to define them as graphic, they mostly resemble drawings scratched onto walls, something one usually finds in Tiflis’ buildings, jails, or on the walls of stations and other public places. A small book of poetry was launched together with the exhibition. In fact, the name of the exhibition is derived from a poem”.
