On Becoming: An Evocation for Adler Guerrier and Levani By Re’al Christian (PDF)

Kunsthalle Tbilisi is pleased to present a two-person exhibition, Nested in a Place of Becoming, by Adler Guerrier and Levani at Fabrika Tbilisi. With inquiries into history, race, identity and notions of place, the exhibition is centered around an expanded ecological view of human habitations as sites that engender openness, possibilities, learning, and liberation. The show is informed by gardens, as physical and metaphysical forms, engaged "always [as] a place of becoming" (Solnit, Orwell's Roses), where tending to one amounts to seeding hope and investing in the future.

Guerrier's installation of mixed media drawings and photography suggests formulation of thoughts related to a proximity of plants and open to the natural, from which expressions of everyday beauty have intimated a deepened perspective of place, one's self, shared affinities with others, and outlook on the possible.

Titled “what color is the BlackSea?” (2021-ongoing), Levani’s installation foregrounds Ecology's potential for cognitive restructuring. An ecosystem of its own, the installation is inhabited by living plants and their casts in silicone and resin, growing horticulture lights, latex fabric imprinted with Georgian language, neon, and sound. Inquiring into the material, cosmological, and psychological dimensions of the human and nonhuman beyond identity categories, the installation collapses the binary dichotomies of living vs. non-living, natural vs. synthetic, material vs. spiritual. It offers an iconography of pluriversal belonging, empathy, solidarity, and care.

Exhibition is organized with Marisa Newman Projects, NY and is accompanied by a catalog with essay by Re’al Christian.
