“Artist residency is a raising praxis all over the world that sets the mode of experiencing different contexts and exchanges. The process of the working in residency fundamentally concerns with the issues of transit, reflection and transformation. Based on the works by the artists and curators being involved in the residency exchange between BINZ39 and CCA-Tbilisi and couple of the other contributors, the exhibition idea explores those transitory and transformative practices. The show discusses the topic of the relocation in contexts of the residencies as the process of self-reflection. The title of the exhibition refers to one of the Georgian novel from the 20th century Georgian literature – “A Man was Going Down to The Road” by Otar Tchiladze. The text relates with the first arrival of the Greeks and the story of Medea together with very complex and universal issues of the human existence. By making this reference residencies are emphasized as one’s own introspective journey in a poetic or allegoric manner, a journey that reflects itself through diverse manifestations.” (Giorgi Spanderashvili)

Die Ausstellung findet im Rahmen des Austauschprogramms mit Georgien der Stiftung BINZ39 statt, welches vom Gönnerverein Freunde der BINZ39 organisiert und finanziert wird.
