Conference | Modernism in Georgia: Redrawing the Boundaries


The turn of the 20th century was marked by technological and scientific advances, dramatic political change and cultural transformation. The modern era demanded new language for art and architecture. After a century as part of the Russian Empire, Georgia became an independent country in 1917-1921 (a period followed by Bolshevik and incorporation into the USSR). That period saw the birth of Modernism and the avant-garde in Georgian art. Cultural innovators from Russia and the entire Caucasus region gathered in Tbilisi during the late teens and early 1920s. Tbilisi, which was rich in art nouveau architecture and modern art, became a cultural center for the region and a point of interconnection between the Russian and European avant-garde movements. This conference aims to cover multiple aspects of Georgian Modernism, including the birth of Modernist and avant-garde art in Georgia; the relationship between politics, art, architecture and culture in the beginning of the 20th century; Georgian Modernism and the avant-garde in relation to European discourse; Modernist artists and avant-garde groups in Tbilisi; the introduction of a new artistic language in all spheres of culture – art, theatre, cinema, and poetry among them; and the relationship of Soviet ideology to art and cultural practice.
