Thea Djordjadze

March 16, 2024

Thea Djordjadze (Georgian: თეა ჯორჯაძე; born 1971 in Tbilisi, Georgia) is a contemporary German-Georgian artist based in Berlin, Germany. She is best known for sculpture and installation art, but also works in a variety of other media (drawing, painting, printing, performance, video, music).

Career edit

Thea Djordjadze studied at the Academy of Arts in Tbilisi from 1988–1993. Due to the Georgian Civil War the school was closed in 1993. Djordjadze left the country and became a student at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. After a year she left the Netherlands for the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where Professor Dieter Krieg (until 1997) and Professor Rosemarie Trockel (1998–2001) became her teachers. In the mid 1990s she briefly returned to Georgia to complete her studies with an MFA at the State Academy of Arts. In 2000 she graduated as Meisterschüler of Rosemarie Trockel.

From 1999 until 2003, Djordjadze was a member of the artist group hobbypopMUSEUM,[1] alongside Bettina Furler, Sophie von Hellermann, Markus Vater and others. The collective organised exhibitions, performances, gatherings, and released several catalogues, and records such as Studio Apartment. Among others, hobbypopMUSEUM participated in shows in San Francisco by Luc Tuymans, then curator of the NICC in Antwerp, and at the Tate Gallery.

On several occasions Djordjadze has made collaborative works with Rosemarie Trockel, including for the 2003 Venice Biennial, Kunsthalle St. Gallen (2006), 11th Lyon Biennial (2007), Sprüth Magers Berlin (2017), and Deichtorhallen Hamburg (2019), among others.

Work edit

Thea Djordjadze works with a wide range of materials such as steel, plaster, wood, aluminum, ceramic, glass, fabrics, foam, cardboard, papier-mâché, and found objects. Her sculptures and installations can often be described as assemblages. Her working process is intuitive and informed by influences that reach from art to architecture, design, and literature. Her works contrast organic forms and geometric structures, as well as finished and rough surfaces. Over the years, her work has developed from smaller formats to a comprehensive installation practice that responds to the architectural peculiarities of the respective exhibition space. Another characteristic of her work is the ongoing experimentation with a formal vocabulary that is located at the intersection between sculpture and display.[citation needed]

References to popular culture can be detected in her works and their titles: film (e.g. Augen ohne Gesicht, 2000), architecture (e.g. le Corbusier in Mondi Possibli 2006), (popular) science and hermeticism (e.g. edition Die Mathematik, 2001, installation o.T. (Dipol), 2003, or performances WahrSagen, 2001, and Kaffeesatzlesen, 2008), literature (e.g. Je n'ai besoin de personne pour me souvenir Lilya Brik and Vladimir Mayakovsky or in Archäologie, Politik, Politik, Archäologie, Archäologie, Politik, Politik, Archäologie Andrè Malraux and Joseph Brodsky), as well as Georgian arts and crafts and culture (e.g. in incorporating carpets in her work or in quoting Niko Pirosmani in 2001).

Although an older work from 2007, Der Knacks (i.e. the crack) shows the artist's working method: a broken plaster sculpture subsequently is reassembled into an unstable formation. The title of the work refers to Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s The Crack-Up, in which a fissure or a failure is indicated as the center part of the creative process.[2][3][4]
