but also in itself. Conceived and headed by Wato Tsereteli.

There is a Chinese painting style and theory which organises the image
in three plains; the foreground, the central plain and the background.
The background in these paintings is mostly occupied by mountains,
individualised and speaking, depicted as the main carrier of emotion
and feelings between the people. In the foreground you sometimes see
people, sometimes acting but very often, tiny figures as which they
are depicted, gazing at the mountains, their backs turned towards us.
In between these different plains are voids, huge empty spaces that
are supposed to make up for at least eighty percent of the surface.
These white areas sometimes evolve from painted clouds into which they
are also dispersed.
The voids fill with projections, artifacts of movement, produced by
the mind in images it discards as improbable or recognises as possible
doublings of forms.
They move in themselves, hardly memorable otherwise than in a feeling,
a glimpse caught for a moment.

Academic as rules of painting tend to be they offer a place for
undecidedness and retreat, shifting responsibility to an accurate
following. The projections are unruly, though, but hard to grasp.


The exhibition was supported by bmoek, the Austrian Ministery for
culture, and sports.
