Gia Edzgveradze. Welcome Foam — Farewell Human
Georgian‑born artist Gia Edzgveradze currently lives in Düsseldorf, where he produces unconventional work that eludes any sort of categorization. He began with large‑format black‑and‑white paintings, later creating three‑dimensional installations for the Tate. In 1997 he visualized paradigms of the history of knowledge for the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The central question in Edzgveradze’s work is “What is artistic consciousness, and what is its role in society?”. The answers he provides in his work are always cryptic and full of irreverent humor and astringent irony.
