Together Forever, a solo exhibition by Gvantsa Jishkariani curated by Ellen Kapanadze, was presented by The Why Not Gallery at Open Space for Experimental Art, Tbilisi, running November 21 to January 30.

With introspective mixed media works featuring photography, installation and found imagery, the show presents a symbolic and esoteric take on autobiography. The result is an exhibition in which the image of the artist “is found in different forms, made in different materials and acquires a new meaning every time.”**

Gvantsa Jishkariani’s Together Forever was presented by Tbilisi’s The Why Not Gallery at Open Space for Experimental Art, running November 21. 2020 to January 30, 2021.
